Bin Changes at Cameley Green

The Council have decided to update its allocation of refuse collection receptacles in Cameley Green after many residents requested a change from bags to Bins.

The change is being made to accommodate resident’s requests and are being bulked up into rows or terraces, making them operationally agreeable.

Each property will be knocked and a letter left explaining the reasons for the change. The bin swaps will take place in the days after the following collection from the knock (starting on Monday 22 January 2018). The list of dates for the knocks and exchanges is also listed in the table attached.  All exchanges will be completed by mid-February 2018; there will be no disruptions to the service for these residents.

Community litter pick Highland & Landseer Road

It was good to be out in Highland Road and Landseer Road helping clear up the litter in these roads.

In all we  collected 7 bags of rubbish and left the area a whole lot cleaner than it was when we got there.

It was also good to be able to talk to local residents about issues that concern them.

Linley Close Garages and play area by Centurion public House.

We have asked both Curo and the council to clear up the garage area at Linley Close and also the land behind the Centurion Public House that has got into quite a mess.

We are pleased that a single member decision to approve the replacement of the Pratten hut used to House the Nursery unit at the School.

The Pratten hut had fallen into disrepair over a number of years with part of the floor rotting in places.

Controversial Housing sites remain in Council development plans

It seems that the Conservative administration are ignoring local peoples feelings by bringing forward sections of land that have previous;y been dismissed by local residents and planning inspector in one case for development.

In the new developing local plan TWT7 land at Cotswold View has been included as development land despite being refused planning permission on numerous occasions.

Another section of land that has always been dismissed is land the other-side of Whiteway road F17 that includes Haycombe farm.

These two sites as far as we are concerned are unacceptable and we will be objecting to them being in the emerging new Local plan for development.
