Take-away given go ahead
Tuesday 15th June
Depite objections from myself and local residents the planning committee have approved the take-away at Alcester Road South/ Meadfoot Avenue. I do not feel that this has been dealt with very well as the objections of residents have largely been ignored around parking and litter in the area.
It is difficult to appeal for residents as it costs several thousand pounds and the people making the appeal have to pay, in this case the residents. The council won't appeal unless any decision is against there planning guidelines and advise.

69 Bus Service
Monday 14th June
It has been brought to my attention by local residents and confirmed by National Express that as from July 25th 2010 the 69 service will be withdrawn. In the Brandwood Ward the area of Grove Road, Dawberry Fields Road and Doversley Road a replacement Centro service 669 will run every hour.
The 27 service will now be extended from Kings Heath to cover the part of the 69 to the Maypole, increasing the frequency to 20 minutes from 30 minutes. The 27 will no longer terminate at Alcester Lanes End.
I contacted Diamond about doing a service around Dawberry Fields and Doversley Road area but they have said it wasn't economically viable. I have written to Centro asking them to look at increasing the 669 to every 30 minutes.

rubbish Brandwood Park Road
Tuesday 8th June
I have had a call from a resident that lives on Brandwood Park Road who is unhappy with the rubbish that has been left on the road. We have a really good local resource, called the street cleansing team who can go and sort these kinds of issues out. I have contacted them and asked them to sort this out.

Brandwood End Cemetery Access
Wednesday 2nd June
I have been contacted by some residents about general access to Brandwood End Cemetery.
I have had the following response from the council. The primary purpose of the cemetery is to provide a peaceful and restful place in which people can bury their loved ones and visit thereafter. We do however appreciate that cemeteries have a wider appeal and are considered by many as open spaces and are therefore supportive of the work of the Friends of Brandwood End Cemetery are undertaking in this regard.
Under the Rules and Regulations in respect of the Municipal Cemeteries and Crematoria the Cemetery is open to visitors at 0.8.30 on weekdays and staff usually ensure that the gates are open for this time.

Cable boxes
Monday 1st June
I have been contacted by a resident about workmen that have been leaving cable box doors open after working on them. One example has been the green box that is situated on the corner of Wynds Covert and Brockworth Road. Whilst the Council are not responsible for the work of these people we are so for the litter that is created. I have contacted the cable companies to request that their workmen operate to standards that we would all want them to.
