Notes:
WYRE FOREST DISTRICT COUNCIL
ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES 2008/09
COUNCILLOR: M B KELLY
WARD: Habberley and Blakebrook
Activities
The biggest concern of the people of Habberley and Blakebrook is the state of the roads within the ward. I have submitted repeated reports to the County Council.
I have been heavily involved in the planning of the new children's play area which has been provided in Truro Drive and have worked closely with Habberley Tenants Consultative Committee and Wyre Forest Community Housing. The play area is being constructed in phases. The final piece, a zip wire, is now going to planning, with the hope it will be in place by the end of the summer.
I have put out 4 newsletters during the last year all bearing my name and contact details thus keeping the electorate informed and able to make contact should they wish to
I have dealt with many problems and complaints made to me by the residents of the ward throughout the year. These vary considerably from planning, housing, the state of the roads, to some very complicated issues such as boundary problems, even marital issues such as access to children etc.
Council Activities
Regeneration and Enterprise Scrutiny Committee
Licensing and Environmental
Ethics and Standards
Treasury Management Review Panel
I am also the Leader of the Labour Group which entails other meetings as and when necessary
Achievements During the Year
Any achievements that can be accredited to me are for others to judge. I firmly believe that if I can help any constituent or organisation then it is my duty to do so. I do not seek praise I just want to help and I feel that I am an effective hard working member of my community. I have helped many organisations within my community and many individuals.
Members' Surgeries
I do not hold surgeries as I find they do not work. I have tried them in the past and found that no one turned up. I find a more effective method is to actually knock doors and to do walk abouts all over the ward at random, talking and listening to people picking up problems.
Training and Development
I receive regular training from Wyre Forest particularly on Licensing matters. I also receive intensive training from Wyre Forest Community Housing.
