Good morning Wednesfield! – here is a briefing on the recent issues that I have raised or have been involved in.
• Ashmore Park Wolmer Road Fly Tipping. It has been reported to me that the Garage site that links Wolmer Road and Griffith Drive has lots of fly tipped rubbish. I have reported the matter and Wolverhampton Homes have asked one of their caretaking teams to visit and remove.
• There is a dispute about a tree- and I have asked the Chief Legal Officer to get involved.
Its worth reporting that your three Councillors over the last financial years (2019-2020) supported Wednesfield community, in a variety of ways.
We managed to help provide resources –
• For the successful Wednesfield History Society’s Lancaster Memorial on Lichfield Road.
• The Christmas lights at the Ashmore Park Shopping Parade.
• We also supported #TheShopLocal campaign.
• We introduced the ‘Community Excellence Awards’. Which we are again supporting this year.
• Two Remembrance benches in The Ashmore Park and on the ‘Black Path at Coppice Farm.
• We also supported The Way -Sensory project.
• Plus ‘door counters’ at the Hub through the Hands on Wednesfield Voluntary Group.
Woodend This week we have reported a damaged pathway in Woodend Road, and is now being examined by the service team.
Lichfield Road –We are involved with a water leak on Lichfield Road, where a dispute has broken out with Severn Trent Water company regarding a water leak that is making a Marsh out of the grass verges. This matter has been rolling along since the early start of this year.
The Oaklands- Twyford Grove where a mine shaft was uncovered. The Coal Authority after a slow start took control, and over the last few days of last week has filled and capped the anomaly. The work was completed last Saturday.
