Lighting updates Highland Road

If you can find the lamp post in the picture on the left then you have done very well indeed.

I have been walking this way mainly in the day time and did not realise that there was a light here.

I have now asked the council and Curo to ensure that all the overgrowth is removed and that the light is cleaned so it can be put back into use.

The picture below shows another light that is on during the day time and I have also asked for this to be fixed as soon as possible.




We have been following up lighting issues all over the area if you know of a problem with lighting then please let us know and we will try to get it sorted.

Highland Road ( street cleaning issues )

We have asked the council and Curo to take action to remove the weeds and rubbish from the footpaths in Highland Road.

Weeds that have grown through the paths are not acceptable  and residents should not be expected to put up with the untidy conditions that have been created.

We would expect the are to be brought back up to standard in a very short period of time.

We will be monitoring the condition of this area and will be chasing the matter up if it is not brought up to an acceptable standard.

Highland Road leaves and Rubbish

 I have asked the council to clear the leaves and litter from Highland Road the pictures show the accumulation has been building up for quite some time.

I have asked that this area is kept an eye on as it has clearly been neglected in the past.

Highland Road

We have received reports that rubbish and recycling were not collected from Highland Road due to very bad parking that resulted in the Lorry being unable to gain access.

A further attempt will made to collect the rubbish and recycling on Wednesday.

Highland Road

 We have asked the council to clear up the mess that we found in Highland Road when we visited only a few days ago.

We have found problems at this location nearly every time that we visit this area and have asked that the council monitor the area to ensure the build up of litter does not happen.

We will also be asking that new litter bins are installed in this area in the new financial year in other words after April this year when new budgets are available.

Highland Road

It was good to be out talking with residents in High Street and Highland Road this morning and to hear about a few local issues.

The matter of the most concern was the litter that was in Highland Road and we have reported this to the council and have asked that they get this cleared up as soon as possible.

It seems that we have a constant problem with litter in this area and we would like to know if residents would be happy if we put in litter bins.

It is not acceptable for this area to be in this constant mess and we will continue to try and get this area sorted out.

Highland & Landseer Road

We have asked the council to clear up the litter and rubbish that has been allowed to build up on the rear footpaths on both Highland Road and Landseer Road.

Both you local Councillors have spent many and hour clearing up litter that has not been very well cleared up in the past.

We would hope that this area would be cleared up in the near future.

Innox Park

We have asked for the old mattress and shopping trolley that has been dumped in the drainage ditch behind Highland road to be removed as soon as possible.

If you know who dumped theses items would you please let us know.

We ate meeting with council officers in the next few days to design a new path that will run across the park from The Brow to Freeview Road and will report on this item shortly.

Highland Road

I have asked Curo to clear up the fly tipping at the rear of Highland Road.

Some one has dumped old mattresses and old television and other items behind 51/43 on the grass area and path.

I would hope that this matter is cleared up as soon as possible. If you are aware who may have dumped these items then please let us know.

More litter Cleared

Gerry Clearing up Highland Road

We continued our litter picking on Friday this week Councillor Gerry Curran and I cleared the footpath that runs from Freeview Road to Dominion Road in the morning and also cleared several bags of rubbish from the bottom of Hanna Close.

In all we collected three bags of rubbish from just this small area.

On Friday afternoon Councillor Gerry Curran also litter picked Highland Road and Landseer Road returning them to a clean state after being in a poor condition.

Gerry with help collected a further two bags of litter from this area, It would be helpful if residents would take a little more respect for their area.

Highland Road Litter Pick

Your Local Councillors Tim Ball & Gerry Curran have carried out a litter pick in Highland Road on Friday morning supported by several local residents, these are part of the regular letter picks that we carry out every Friday.

In all we have removed quite a few bags of rubbish and have left the area much cleaner that when we found it.

Cllr Gerry Curran said: "This area always seems to be in a mess and we are keen to find out why. It could be rubbish sacks not being cleared away or it could be the lack of a litter bin."

We are considering getting a litter bin put in place but want residents feed back please let us know what you think.

Highland Road

I have asked the Council to ensure that the pot hole outside of 25 Highland Road to be filled in as soon as possible.

Highland Road Railings

Damaged railings not repaired

We have again chased Somer Housing to get the railings repaired that protect the Car Park at Highland Road.

It is quite a while ago that we reported these and have told Somer that we are unhappy with their response.

Highland Road

We have asked for the railings at Highland road as pictured to be repaired they are currently very dangerous.

We would hope that this work would be carried out as soon as possible.
