Urban Safety Group
There are many issues which have been raised, such as ‘poor road conditions/potholes/speeding', anti-social behaviour, litter, dog fouling, grass cutting etc. My main focus of work within the ward has been to deal with and action all communications received from Oldington & Foley Park residents.
I speak on a weekly basis with the Tenant Consultative Committee (TCC's) as we have a number of ongoing issues. We also have ‘walkabouts' on the estates with officers and this includes the police, wardens and Community Support Officers.
Council Activities
Planning (Enforcement) Committee
Achievements During the Year
I assisted Councillor Desmond in having traffic calming measures installed in Walter Nash Road, Birchen Coppice, Kidderminster.
I also managed to have a ramp installed for a gentleman in my Ward who uses a mobility scooter. Previously he was unable to leave his property. I liaised with the British Legion and Community Housing to have the ramp installed.
Members' Surgeries
I regularly walk around the ward and meet/speak with residents and I receive regular contact from residents and therefore on a daily basis I am on the ward sorting out problems and meeting with the residents.
Partners and Communities Together (PACT) and our Urban Safety Group is a great opportunity to engage with the locals and these are every six weeks.
