This is the casework we ran in our September edition of FOCUS – which we are still delivering!

Coming soon to a junction near you…
The Council promised that it would start work on painting extra double-yellow lines further into junctions in order to protect cars and make the area safer.  It hasn’t started yet, but should be starting soon.  The Council will first write to everyone who lives near the junction to check what they think – so if you have views, make sure you let them know.  This year, Staindale Drive, Chalfont Drive, Newlyn Drive (both ends), Westholme Gardens and Franklyn Gardens are on the list.
STOP PRESS: Following requests from residents nearby, we have asked the Council to look at doing the junction of Bobbersmill Road with Nuthall Road. They have agreed it needs doing and will look for the money next year.

Darley Avenue empty garages
The empty garages on Darley Avenue are getting messy again so Alex has got the Council to get the owner to tidy them up.  He has also asked the Council to find a better use for the land in the long term.

Pothole, Staindale Drive
A resident complained to Alex that the Council came back to fix the same pothole on Nuthall Road near the junction with Staindale Drive year after year.  Alex has asked for a permanent repair.

State of Kennington Road Park
Residents raised the state of the park at a recent KAMRA meeting.  People have been writing on the new equipment only months after it was installed. The Council has agreed to come out and sort the damage.

Waste bin,  Whitemoor pub
The waste bin was taken away from the bus stop outside the Whitemoor pub. Gary asked the Council, who have agreed to put it back

Exit from Homfield Road – Action at Last
At long last the Council are consulting about putting double yellow lines on the junction of Homefield Road and Aspley Lane.  Residents have been complaining about the difficulty of exiting here for years. Gary said “I have been pressing for action for a long time.  I am pleased that something will happen soon.”

Blocked drain Northdown
Following complaints from local residents some blocked drains on Northdown Road have been cleared.

Tree pruning work, Cheslyn
The Spinney at Cheslyn Drive will get some much needed major pruning work this autumn – but the Council have to wait until nesting season is over.

St Margaret’s Avenue
After local residents complained Gary got the council to repair some potholes on St Margaret’s Avenue.  It is on the list for full resurfacing – but not in near future.
