Wednesday 25th August
Several residents have contacted me about the problems with dog mess on Taylor Road. As a a result I have organised for some no dog fouling signs to be put up which will hopefully reduce the problem. This has been done in other areas within the ward which has proved successful.

Speed cameras Hanuch Lane
Tuesday 24th August
The speed warning cameras have recently been moved to Haunch Lane, unfortunately a number of residents have felt that they are in the wrong position.
They have suggested a better position would be near to and approaching Chamberlain Road from Wheelers Lane and outside number 207 Haunch Lane coming from
Hollybank Road. I have suggested that they are moved to this position.

Casework
Wednesday 18th August
August tends to be a quiet month for council meetings but not for case work. This is never ending. I can get upto 30 cases a week. Often residents come to councillors as they don't know who to contact or get fed up with being past from person to person. This is what has happened with someone from Meadfoot Avenue when they were trying to get some rubbish removed. I contacted the council have been promised this will get removed today.

I have asked for a replacement 1 be ordered. Also I have made a request for a new litter bin in Keynell Covert, off Monyhull Hall Road, due to the build up of litter there. I

Brandwood Tasking
Thursday 12th August
There was a clash of the 2 Ward Tasking meetings tonight. I attended the St Bedes Church 1. There was a lot of discussion about how the meeting was being run. The 3 priorities that were identified were scrap metal dealers creating a lot of noise, drug dealing and drug usage on Brandwood Park Road, speeding on Broad Lane and Monyhull Hall Road.

Suggestions for Maypole Shopping Centre Funding
Wednesday 11th July
Following the development of the Maypole shopping centre and surrounding areas there has been some section 106 money (developers putting money back into the local community) spent on improving the area.
There has been an underspend of £32,000 so there is £16,000 for Brandwood Ward and it can be spent on public open opens such as parks, site security and footpath improvements. Any ideas welcome.

Motorbikes nuisance
Tuesday 10th August
I have had several complaints from local residents about the motorbikes on Dawberry Fields Park. I know that this has been raised at tasking meetings but I have contacted the police for an update.
Previously, I have contacted the council about making the access points smaller so that motorbikes cannot get into the park. Unfortunately the council won't make any alterations to access points as they are saying it would mean that wheelchair users and pushchairs won't be able to access it very easily !!
