LOCAL NEWS & INFORMATION TALK TO YOUR COUNCILLORS
WE ARE HERE TO HELP!! Nigel and Steve are always happy for residents to raise concerns with them. Steve explains “ between us we have over 30 years experience as Gloucester City councillors and have been involved in many aspects of the work of the Council including environmental and planning matters. At least half of the concerns we deal with are matters for the County Council but we do our best to resolve these as well.” Nigel adds “most recently we have been involved in trying to move a yellow road salt bin in Sandford Way , removing weeds and grasses from alleyways and roadside gulleys in Windsor Drive and a clearly abandoned vehicle in Holmleigh Road opposite Grange School .” “Residents have also contacted us about inconsiderate parking , speeding along Grange Road and personal planning issues.” concludes Steve. Should anyone wish to become involved in what we do perhaps with a view to becoming a councillor then we will be happy to discuss this with them.
Steve Morgan can be reached on 01452 520534 or Steve.morgan@gloucester.gov.uk and Nigel Hanman on 01452 303566 or
