Nettles overgrowing footpaths, broken glass, full poop scoop bins, graffiti and litter in back lanes have all been reported but are still awaiting Council attention two weeks later. A confirmation of receipt of the complaints had been sent by the Council on 8th September when the issues were sent on to the responsible department for action.
The problems had been reported through “Fix my Street“. This web site allows progress to be publicly recorded. Some issues logged two weeks ago have been addressed – an abandoned bike on York Road has been removed and a clothes recycling bank emptied – but several remain outstanding.
Local Councillors have been asked to escalate the outstanding issues.
Nettles overgrowing Bellhouse Way – first reported on 6th September and a hazard for passing children
Broken glass on School Street back lane – outstanding for two weeks
Litter in Gladstone Street/Beaconsfield Street area back lanes
Poop scoop bin full on Dijon Avenue . First reported 6th September -may have been emptied but is now full again (and very smelly!)
Clothes bank has been emptied in Acomb car park but rubbish now being piled on top of can bank

Grass cutting reported on Sunday
Good to report that, following action by Cllrs Stephen Fenton and Sheena Jackson, the grass on the Teal Drive/Carrfield snicket has been cut back
In fact the whole of the Rowntrees playground, park and surrounding area has been tidied up.
Next on the list is to get the cycle barriers painted.
Teal Drive – Carrfield snicket grass cut
Next up – get the cycle barriers painted!
Earlier in the week there was a bit of a drama at the Foxwood shops when a drivers foot slipped on the accelerator sending her car into the flower tub.
Fortunately no one was hurt and damage was superficial

Our survey into Westfield residents views and priorities – officially launched on Tuesday – is getting a good response.
No thanks to The Press newspaper which publicised yesterday a link to a similar survey which is apparently looking for the views of residents living in the Acomb Ward. That survey was only made available more recently. The Press confused the issue by using a photo of part of the Westfield Ward to illustrate their story, but failed to provide a link to our survey.
So Westfield residents should click this link to take part in the “on line” survey.
