A YEAR AS YOUR CONSERVITIVE WARD COUNCILLOR

I have been here for a year now so I thought it time to look back over this year and sum up what I have been doing on your behalf.

The largest amount of concerns that have come to me have been over the grass cutting not being done last summer and the hedges overgrown.
These where all taken care of after an e-mail to landscaping, although there are still a few areas that have been missed.

The amount of rats being seen at the Stantonbury shops, and areas near the shops.
This is being dealt with now by the removal of a lot of the shrubs and the areas being seeded with grass.

A lot of my time has been spent in Stantonbury and after several public meetings with the aim of trying to get a voice for the area and set up a residents association, it was fantastic to see the RAFS up and running. They will be having the first annual general meeting in June.

I have also been working with the Bradville Residents Association ( BRA ) this is a more experienced residents association and is very able to deal with every day problems, but I am pleased to say I have been able to assisted them with some of the issues that had been unresolved.

Bancroft, Bancroft Park & Blue Bridge ( the 3 B's ) have had some issues over planning apps that I have had to look at to make sure all is right for everyone
There are also worries over more and more houses being put up for rentals and the properties being over crowded, which then bring problems with excess rubbish and parking.

I am now keeping a close eye on the Stantonbury Park Farm Development.
The outline planning was for around 500 homes however they have planning for around 580 I think we would all agree that is nearer to 600
A large board has been put up now with the name OAKRIDGE which is getting everyone confused.
I have been in contact and this is only the name being used by the developers and it will still have the Stantonbury name.

The HIGH LIGHT to my year as your Ward Councillor has got to be putting together the
STANTOBURY SPRING CLEAN
On a very wet Thursday 16th April 24 residents including children and 19 from agencies and organisations meet at Woodend School and at 10.30am we set off and swarmed across the whole of Stantonbury we even got our MP Mark Lancaster to come and help. I would like to thank everyone who helped.
