Notes:
WYRE FOREST DISTRICT COUNCIL
ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES 2008/09
COUNCILLOR: Mumshad Ahmed
WARD: Broadwaters
Activities
I was elected to Wyre Forest District Council in May 2008.
I sit on the Regeneration & Enterprise Scrutiny Panel, Audit Committee and Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel.
The Conservative administration support economic development very actively and it continues to play a major part in Wyre Forest district e.g. the Easter Park Development at Hoobrook, Finepoint on Stourport Road and the redevelopment of Stourport-on-Severn on the former Carpets of Worths site planning to house a large Tescos Store.
Ward activity is daily/weekly with letters and emails resulting from leafleting. I leaflet every door in my ward every 8 weeks keeping my residents updated on local issues. Over 21,000 leaflets have been delivered in 12 months.
Working with Friends of St Georges Park I have been successful in having a BMX Track installed and completed for 13-19 year olds.
I am campaigning for the Horsefair Toilet Block to be knocked down and rebuilt.
I campaigned for Street Scene to regularly clean Coventry Street & Blackwell Street Subways.
I have worked with Friends of St Georges to Litter Pick Sion Hill Estate on a keep Britain Clean weekend.
I donated £300 of my Locally Determined Funds towards swimming classes for local people and £200 towards Friends of St Georges Park to help set the group up.
In the last 12 months I have sent over 500 personal postcards to residents and dealt with over 4,000 emails in the last year. I have also knocked on every residents door in the past 12 months and carried out a full ward survey.
