Todays surgery covered many issues. Those that are not of a confidential nature included:

A derelict garage being used as a rubbish tip and becoming a health and safety issue. We have passed this onto Sharon in Westmoreland ward as the garage concerned is not in Southdown.

Slippery footpaths from Marsden Road to Englishcombe Lane. We will put this onto our next meeting with our Highway engineer.

Anti social behaviour in Wedmore Park. We gave an update on all the activity we have been doing on this issue in recent weeks and inform our beat officer.

Poor lighting in some of the Wedmore Park back alleys. We will take up this issue with Somer Housing.

Grounds maintenance and getting the various operations sequenced properly before the spring starts and everything bursts into life again.

And finally a garden being used as a rubbish tip in one of our streets.

As ever the main issues in the ward - litter, lighting and anti social behaviour concerns. A typical Saturday morning surgery.

NEXT SURGERY : Saturday 2 February - Methodist Church The Hollow from 10am to midday.
