Section 4: Assisting Constituents
Residents contact me on a regular basis via telephone, email, newsletter feedback system or face to face. I walk around the ward quite a bit so people stop me in the street. Their concerns range from fly tipping, dog fouling, planning issues, benefits, and many more.
Many of the concerns have been resolved by signposting residents to other organisations such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, and the hub when they need help with benefits or housing or other concerns.
Reporting and requesting new street waste/litter bins.
Helping residents escalate their concerns regarding derelict buildings and taking it to the Member of Parliament on several occasions.
Helping to get back the missing post boxes from the Royal mail escalating it to the Member of Parliament and to Ofcom, it is now on it third round with Ofcom.
Help some of the community organisations to raise funds for their cause.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
When residents raise concerns with cars parking less than desirable, raise these concerns with the local police team, WFDC enforcement and also at the request of residents put it our quarterly newsletter, as it is a concern of the whole community.
I also include any relevant health issues from Healthwatch that the Residents need to be made aware about.
Being from an educational background, I am currently a Director of Holy Trinity School and have a strong interest in the provision for education for everyone in the Community.
