Item 14, “Action Log of Previous Meeting”

·           Good quality noticeboards had been erected on the Towers Recreation Ground, and on the main footpath at the back of Sandfields School;

·           Fly-tipping was still a problem on Victoria Road East and on the Towers Recreation Ground.  Ward Councillors had asked for something to be done to address the problems being caused by vermin attracted by the fly-tipping and it was hoped that discussions could be held with the owners of Grosvenor Court to increase the size of refuse bins provided; and

·           Goalposts had been erected on the Craven Recreation Ground, but the pitches had not been marked out.  This could be due to the bad weather experienced recently.

Item 15, “Ward Councillors’ Feedback”

·           Bollards had been installed in Hampden Road, but problems with inconsiderate parking were still being experienced.

All invited to contact the Ward Councillors or the Ward and Community Engagement Officer to have items displayed on the new noticeboards.

Ward Councillors to approach St Theodore’s Church to see if the car park at the church can be used by people dropping off and picking up children from Sandfields Close Primary School.  The landlord at the Three Kilns also to be approached to see if the car park at the pub can be used for the same purpose.  If the pub car park can be used, Ward Councillors and Ward and Community Engagement Officer to consider whether funding should be made available from the Ward Community Budget to provide a sign indicating that people parked there at their own risk.
