Focus on

More fires at Wyevale: Residents are rightly concerned about the number of fires at Wyevale in recent weeks. The Council’s Neighbourhood Enforcement team have asked us to relay contact details so that local residents can easily report any incident, not only fires but also information about the dumping of waste. Tesco car meet update: If you live near the store, you will be only too aware that Sunday nights have become intolerable with noisy, late night car meets in the car park. We received numerous complaints from local residents which prompted us to get in touch with the police, Council and Tesco in order to find a solution.

Using this number will ensure an alert is provided to the team, causing an officer to attend the site in question (if available): NET Going Now Number: 0117 9222 500 Reference to quote: 424877 (Complainants will have to provide their name and phone number).

This will take some time to implement so in the interim they will place vehicles at the entrances to the car park to stop the car meets.

Talbot Road closure:

Drivers are advised to avoid the area as the gas main is replaced on Talbot Road. This work is scheduled to commence at his week and is due to be completed by 24 June. We will keep you updated if details change.

Sandy Park zebra crossing:

A local resident has highlighted safety concerns over the zebra crossing on Sandy Park Road. Due to the availability of car parking spaces in front of the adjacent post office, vehicles regularly reverse over the crossing when leaving these spaces. We were in touch with the council about this issue quite some time ago and an officer told us they were working on a solution that possibly included strategically-located bollards to prevent vehicles performing such a dangerous manoeuvre. This would have resulted in the loss of one parking space in front of the post office but there is plenty of on-street parking and a public car park, Repton Road Car Park, less than 100 metres away. We have asked council officers for a progress report. Housing forum for tenants: Another round of Housing Forums for council tenants is taking place online in March. Residents are invited to come along and find out about the outcome of the recent investing in council homes consultation and how residents views have helped shape the 3 0-year plan for council housing.

Following registration, further details will be sent to confirm your booking and provide the Zoom link/dial-in number to join the meeting.
