The ward briefing last week covered the following items:
§
Forest Ave Reserve:
following complaints to Step Key, Member for Ashford, and a public meeting Council has now completed
what it promised it would do. That is to clean up the site, especially around
the edges as a one of offer of goodwill. The Black Forest school owns the land
and has full responsibility for keeping the area safe and attractive. It is my
understanding that the school has now hired a groundsman and the area is looking
better, including the water leak that was flooding the centre of the grounds.
§
Lyons
Pde: DPTI have agreed that the Perspex screen looks dreadful; they are investigating
an alternate solution that retains a line of sight.
§
Cromer
Pde: staff are looking at alternate landscaping options in the last
triangular piece of land at the end of Chelmsford Ave.
§
Lonsdale
Tce: The dead , dry and awful bits of landscaping will soon be replaced.
This follows a resident request quite some time ago.
§
Canterbury
Tce/East Ave: the safety improvement works will be undertaken soon.
§
Mills
St concerns: unfortunately Councillors failed to support the residents
and both Don and I in trialling right hand turn bans for a small portion of
each day.
§
Goodwood
Oval clubrooms: Council are likely to support a $250,00o upgrade to
allow for women’s football and to generally make the facility look a little
smarter inside.
§
Arundel
Eve: staff will report back on the current state of the landscaping. Compared
to Canterbury Tce it looks pretty awful. They will also check the trees that have
the potential to become significant have been planted and are doing well. DPTI
seems to have finished off what was struggling. Hopefully, it will be DPTI who
are paying for the additional plantings
