It was great to have the opportunity to meet with Alan Johnson onthe 21st. Alan was visiting a community development project which was staffed by people through using Future Jobs Funding.
Residents in Littlebrook Avenue contacted me to tell me about the issue of commuter parking in Littlebrook. It seems that the commuters are now parking all along the road making it difficult to turn out of the side roads. Whilst takng a look for myself I heard from local residents that there is an issue of speeding in the mornings and evenings. I believe the Neighbourhood Action Group are aware of this but I will be raising it with the Council also.
I am really glad to say that the results of our people power petition have finally been completed. Thanks to everyone who signed up to get the park refurbished, Ihope you like the results. I know the local School Children did, it was great to see so many people enjoying the park on a beautiful March day.
Many of you will recall our petition in 2009 to get the Priory Play Park upgraded, we got over 600 signatures and as a result Priory Park was one of the parks prioritised for refurbishment.
Following the Icy weather I popped down to look at the progress. It was nice to see that most of the equipment was installed but I noticed that there was still some work to do.
I spoke with the Council and they assured me that the works would be completed by the wne of March in time for the warmer days. Lets See what happens!
It seems that the Verge on Orchard Avenue is constantly being chewed up by cars, but it is also apparent that this problem is linked to both the school run issue and also building works at the Priory School. Once the work is completed we will see if we can find a solution between the Council and the School to make this area cleaner for residents.
Hi Everyone and welcome to my Haymill Community Walkabouts blog.
This is where I will post information and photographs which are relevant to my doorstep discussions.
Please feel free to get involved by contacting me with any issues which you would like me to be aware of, or would like help in resolving.
I look forward to meeting you on one of my walkabouts soon.
