Section 3: Community Involvement
This year I have continued to be heavily involved with the Friends of Brinton Park group. We held a successful event for the King's Coronation and also our annual Christmas fair. We have a Summer fair planned for this year. The Friends group continue to hold gardening sessions as well as litter picks with support from the Pick Up Artists. I am treasurer for the group and attend regular meetings.
I am a member of Wyre Forest Green Alliance and provide a link between the council and local sustainability groups.
I regularly liaise with the police local Safer Neighbourhood Team regarding speeding concerns and any anti-social behaviour. I am currently setting up a “speedwatch” scheme for 2 of my streets with support from the local police.
I am a member of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for one of my local schools.
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
I communicate with residents regularly via phone calls/email, social media and regular newsletters. I have supported residents with a range of issues such as dog mess, overgrown shrubbery, anti-social behaviour, neighbour disputes, housing and parking issues.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
I work to the best of my abilities with Councillors and Officers to ensure that we work with the priorities in the WFDC Corporate Plan. Particularly important to me is reducing carbon, reducing our use of pesticides, improving air quality and protecting the natural environment.
