Canvass


Last Saturday Cllr Pat Gulvin along with Tracey Crouch and our Walderslade Conservative colleague David Brake was out canvassing a part of Princes Park.
What was discovered was more local residents want to recycle a greater amount using the blue box/bag system.
I agree the boxes are probably not big enough but you can collect a roll of blue bags from the Medway Council offices in Military Road, Chatham.
Please click here for the story on Tracey Crouch's blog.
If everyone has the same attitude towards recycling our figures in Medway would far exceed the Government targets set upon us.

Barrier Update

Following on from Cllr Pat Gulvins story regarding the barriers, we have also had barriers installed on the pathway that runs at the rear of Highgrove Road with a replacement 'Kissing Gate' due to be installed very shortly.
Also, the pathway that runs from Swallow Rise along the top of Morrisons will also be having barriers fitted in the very near future.
This is in conjunction with the pledge that Pat and I along with the local police gave to the residents of Princes park in trying to cut down on motorbikes in the area which in turn reduces anti social behaviour.
If there are any trouble spots in the local area that you think need looking at that could benefit from having barriers fitted then please contact us with the details.

Barriers




Barriers


These may just look like boring barriers, but to some residents they have been a lifeline. The residents in this part of Princes Park were having their lives disrupted by motorbikes roaring up and down the alley. This was at all times of the day and also into the night. There was no way they could even spend time in their garden. They got in touch with Matt and myself after we were elected and asked for our help. We were both very new so it did take a little time before we found the right officers. Then it was loads of phone calls every week to make sure it stayed a high priority. One of the residents did a fantastic job as well by ringing up regularly or e-mailing the officer in charge to make sure they were finally installed. I know it seemed as if it would take forever, but we finally made it.
Barriers cannot solve the whole problem of nuisance bikes. But with the cooperation of residents, police and our community safety team we can make some improvements
