Street Sweeping; The trial notification of street sweeping is about to begin; if you have volunteered to be part of the trial Council should let you know a day in advance of the sweeping. This should enable residents to ensure that least their own cars are not parked in the street and for any leaf litter to be swept off the footpath and into the gutter.

East Ave

Oakley Ave

; Consultation will occur in July regarding better markings on the road to improve cyclist safety.

Fairfax St

Storm water management; Following a recent issue this is just a reminder that if the storm water falls on your property it is unlawful to allow the water to exit your property other than directly to the street (unless you have planning approval to dispose of it in some other way). You can also dispose of it on your own property as long as this does not impact on your neighbor. 

Council meeting; The next meeting of the Full Council will be held at Goodwood Community Services on July 25^th. It would be good to see a few  people attend. Rarely is there any one that comes to these decision making meetings that ultimately affect  all residents.
