Notes:
WYRE FOREST DISTRICT COUNCIL
ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES 2008/09
COUNCILLOR: John Holden
WARD: Mitton
Activities
Throughout the year newsletters have been written and delivered in the ward. They have contained important information on how to apply for free fire alarms, the new police phone number and general information such as the Lights out Line. Highways are always a priority and road resurfacing in the ward has been extensive and welcomed by all the residents. All enquiries by email and by phone are dealt with in 48 hours, unless I am working away.
Working with Council officials the ward is kept free of litter by responding to constituents who let me know if they have a problem. The debris left behind on Friday nights in the Memorial Park is now dealt with by the town gardeners who have been given overtime to keep the park clear of debris over the weekends.

I sit on the Corporate Services Scrutiny Committee chaired by Councillor Ballinger, and chair the Audit Committee. I also chair the Wyre Forest Highways Forum.
