Recycling centres

Good news from City Homes. In an attempt to increase the recycling rates the Housing Officers are making a big effort to find suitable sites for recycling depots for flats in the ward.

The first consultations have taken place and others have recently started.

If you get a letter asking your opinion do let us know. I am sure most people would welcome more recycling, and if you would respond to say so.

At the moment I have letters for Albemarle and Nicholson Ways, and have seen various sites in Minerva Way.

Fix to manhole in Minerva Way

Another quick feedback: I was out today in Minerva Way and saw a manhole I had reported a dangerous problem with being fixed.

Anything that is clearly dangerous let us know of as the County Highways department do their best. The problem is with bigger projects rather than isolated problems. Only four projects were funded in the City last year, and only four this year. There are many more projects that could be done.

Please let us know of any problems: even if we can't get them fixed we can make sure the County know people are not happy.

Damaged path on Minerva Way

I reported damage to the road next to a manhole in Minerva Way and have been informed by the Highways Department at the County that a works order has been raised to repair the damage.

Please let us know of any damage to pavements near you. We will do what we can to get them repaired.
