Following a recent meeting with frustrated local residents, I contacted the West Neighbourhood Team highlighting the eyesore shown in the pictures below.
Having previously installed a fence at a cost of £6k in Phase 1 of the project some time ago, the overgrown weeds and unsightly bushes are now back on the agenda thanks to my persistence in getting a positive outcome for fed-up residents.
I have been advised that there will be consultation letters going out to all residents regarding the refurbishment of the drying areas in order that the Council can achieve a practical long term solution to the maintenance of these areas.
After discussions with the Council officials, Phase 2 of the project which concentrates on the unused ground and the maintenance of the area is now thankfully under review and the project to be revisited in 2012.
By listening and taking on board resident's concerns, the project will not be seeking to put in place any seating or play facilities within the area.
There is however some fantastic news for the immediate rejuvenation of the area.
Correspondence received earlier this week from the Services for Communities team notes that whilst the long term plan is for full refurbishment, in the interim period the Council will carry out work to clear the area of weeds.
Taking residents issues head on and delivering actions – not words – is key for any aspiring Councillor. I will deliver what I promise and will takeup any and all issues on your behalf.
I promise that if elected next May, I will be a strong voice for you as your representative at the Council. I believe that many politicians forget about the local communities andthe people who live there. I promise to put local people first in any decision.
If you would like to discuss this, or any other issue in the area, please contact me either on 0776 4149767 or email at mark.brown@scottishconservatives.com
