Issue - meetings

The City Warden will give an update on issues in the Rushey Mead Ward.

The City Warden Report provided by Mohammed Patel was noted. A copy is attached to the back of these action notes.

The following issues were raised by attendees:

·         There was a problem with uncontrolled dogs on the parks. There were  large dogs running loose on the parks and in the play areas, even though there were notices advising that dogs needed to be kept on a lead.

The meeting was informed that it was not possible to enforce this however the Chair asked for the situation to be monitored and owners to be politely asked to ensure that their dogs were properly controlled.

·         Problems relating to dog fouling on the Jesse Jackson park were reported. There was also a need for footpaths there.

·         There were abandoned supermarket trolleys on Silverstone Drive. The Chair suggested that the resident might wish to contact Sainsbury’s to ask them to organise collection.

·         There was a disused building on Woodbridge Road and it was queried whether the future use of the building was known. The Chair advised that planning permission for a supermarket had been refused – future plans not yet known.

·         A concern was raised that falling leaves from a tree outside 12 Silverstone Drive were causing a mess on a resident’s car. The Chair asked if the resident would be able to park away from the tree and also questioned whether it would be possible to trim the tree back.

Actions to be taken by the City Warden / Neighbourhood Development Manager / Community Engagement Officer.
