The work to fill in all the potholes on and around Garden Avenue has started. Already a great improvement.

Good to see also that after five years of trying all of Caterhouse Road has now been resurfaced.

I also kicked up a fuss about the fact that despite repeated requests over a year, holes in the footpaths on part of Lilac Avenue, near the bungalows hadn’t been touched – typical labour council communication failures. thankfully today a good long stretch of pavement was resurfaced.

Finally the roadsweeper has been out in our area. Aykley Vale has seen its first sweep in I don’t know how long. I think the change in management we secured is having a real effect. The guys are doing a good job.

Still more to do though. Don’t forget to return your postal vote unless you want five more years of clothing allowances for Labour councillors.
