Wednesday 15th December
I have been quiet on the blog over the last week as I have been stuck at home with flu. To make matters worth my partner and two children have been ill aswell, so blog enteries haven't been at the forefront of my mind.
I have started to catch up with emails 311 and casework. I am going to my surgery tonight 6-7 St Bedes Church Hall, Doversley Road.
This will be last entry before christmas, not that the works stops, so can I take this opportunity off wishing you a merry christmas and happy new year.

Full Council
Tuesday 7th December
Most of the day is taken up with Full Council. The main agenda items were the future of post offices, the report of the Cabinet Member for Leisure Sport and Culture and all the mud throwing of question time. A more appropriate expression would be snow ball fighting as someone put on my facebook site.

Dropped Kerbs
Monday 6th December
During the day I have been catching up with case work. I have had a number of emails about parking on grass verges. The Council has started putting in the double kerbs such as at Broad Lane. It is illegal to park on grass verges. It is the police's responsibility to enforce parking on grass verges and the Council's to try and solve the problem.
During the evening, I have had our Group meeting which looks at upcoming decisions. We looked at the budget, council housing and the reduction is staffing levels.

Planning Application Alcester Road South/ Wynfield Gardens
Wednesday 1st December
There is a planning application proposed at 299A Alcester Road South Kings Heath, for construction of a 3 storey building (comprising a ground floor retail unit, with 5 residential units above), parking area and landscaping.
A number of residents have contacted myself, Cllr Neville Summerfield and Lesley Sutton, Conservative Candidate, expressing concern about a number of issues in connection with the proposals.
The proposed application will increase further problems with parking within the area. Currently there are already problems with parking on the junction of Alcester Road South and Wynfield Gardens.
There were Tree Preservation Order placed in the land adjoining 2 Wynfield Gardens, Kings Heath, which became effective as of the 11th September 2009. A letter was sent out (Reference Number: PM/CONS/RW/MB/TBO 1318) informing residents nearby of the Tree Preservation Order. What is happening to these trees ?
The design of the proposed building does not blend in with the design of the surrounding buildings as the planning application is for three stories, the rest of the residential buildings are two stories.
In the houses next to the proposed building they will have south facing windows, which would look straight into the gardens and houses, thus invading the privacy.
