Positive meeting held with Traffic Department, Cllrs. Lloyd-Hayes and Walling. Toured estate to see problems for themselves, i.e. cars parked illegally on corners, paths and bus stops. A full survey of the area will be conducted. More news on this will be posted on our notice-board in the Post Office, Chilton Square.

Police informed. We have also asked for a 20 m.p.h. limit on Whittern Way so that our children may cross safely to school.

According to Police records, A.S.B. reported crime is down. “Oh no it’s not” might be your cry! Well that might be because you are not ringing it in. Please RING Police, and also ask for an Incident No. Give us the Incident Number and we will follow it up. Your name will not be given out to anyone by us or the Police. So don’t sit back and watch – do something!

Firstly, politely ask driver to move. If they are decent, community-minded people they will move. If you have a drive-way or garage, please use it. Be sensitive to parking needs of disabled neighbours. Use your own space outside your own house. Community spirit for all!
