Notes:
ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES 2010/11
Ward Activities this year, including outside bodies:
My main focus of work in Oldington and Foley Park over the last year has been to continue to improve the quality of life for all residents.
I have focused on facilitating the improvement of road surfaces and pavements, clearing up litter hot spots and helping to tackle anti-social behaviour.
In addition, I have responded to and carried out a vast quantity of case work on many issues that have helped to aid and improve residents' quality of life.
Highlights:
This year I have had five lighting columns installed in the alleyway between Beauchamp Avenue and Lisle Avenue. This was first raised as an anti social behaviour issue at a local PACT (Partners and Communities Together) meeting.
I have also been able to get new pavements laid in Avon Road and Sutton Park Road.
I have had the green light for double yellow lines to be installed at the corner of Beauchamp Avenue and Blount Terrace. This was also raised at a PACT meeting because of parking problems.
I have had the Old Garage Site on Jubilee Drive cleared of all rubbish and fly tipping and had the entrance secured by having a barrier installed.
I have had all the overgrown bushes cut back along Goldthorn Road.
I have also given £3,500 from a pot of money for Positive Activities for Children to the YMCA Club to run after school activities at Birchen Coppice Primary School
Special Knowledge:
I have a degree in History and Politics which helps my understanding of the intricacies of politics on a national and international level. I also help run the family business in industrial and commercial flooring which gives me insight into challenges and pressures of the private sector.
