The Lib Dem team are continuing to support residents in our area with ‘Bring Out Your Rubbish’ Days. “One was recently held on Rockford, Lamorna and Brendon Avenues,” said Councillor Yvonne Uzzell. “A total of 4.8 tonnes of rubbish was collected, including 1500kg of recyclables.” “These days are always a big success,” added Cllr John Nicholson. “They give local people a change to help keep the area clean and tidy, as well as the opportunity to increase recycling.”

15 Jan 2010 - Improving East Park

Work has begun on the demolition of the old bowling pavilion in the Youth Zone at the front of East Park. The local Lib Dem have supported the demolition, that will eventually mean a brand new building. They fought for funding in order for the works to take place.

“Plans will be drawn up for the new building in the near future,” said Jan Hornby. Extra work is being done to provide more equipment in the skate park. “Users of the skate park have been consulted and work should be finished by next summer,” said Cllr Yvonne Uzzell.
