New Surface for Popular Footpath

New Footpath From Heron Way to Kingfisher School Via Kingfisher Road

.

.

A few months ago myself and Cllr Pat Gulvin were meeting with residents in Ryde Close and we were discussing local issues that affected them and what could be improved.

One main concern kept being repeated, and that was the state of the footpath that runs from Heron Way down to Kingfisher Road through the Heron Banks.

This was officially a footpath but didn't have a decent surface, the surface was in fact chalk and mud which had been created by all the pedestrian traffic over the years.
This clearly was not acceptable as this path was used by many parents taking their young children to school (some with push chairs) from the Ryde Close area down to Kingfisher School.

After speaking with residents, the first thing we done was to contact the Highways Department within the council and try to get a resolution.

Due to the path already being designated an official footpath this made it easier to secure the necessary funding and the job started in July.
I'm sure this will be a welcome addition to the residents who take this route when the schools re-open in September.

Another job completed by your local Conservative Councillors, we listened to residents concerns and two months later the job has been completed!

New Barrier

Here is the latest addition in our war against the motorbikes in Princes Park. It may look like an ordinary boring barrier but for the residents of Scarlett Close and the surrounding areas it has hopefully added to the misery of the local motorbike culture using the footpaths and alleyways to cut through at their will.

Residents were having problems with youths using the path from Scarlett Close onto the path adjoining North Dane Way.

Although there were already two barriers installed it didn't actually stop the speeding bikes, hopefully this third edition will stop the problem.

Save Capstone Valley Campaign - Update

A few weeks ago cards were sent to our residents in Princes Park and surrounding areas asking people if they opposed the development of Capstone Valley. If they did oppose the destruction of one of the best green spaces in the area then they could sign the card provided and send it into the office.

The response was overwhelming, as you can see from the photos we managed to fill up a wheelbarrow full of replies.

This is yet another clear message to the developers we want the area to remain UNTOUCHED!!

I am glad to see other political parties are agreeing with our views but it was and has been your local Conservatives who have led the campaign from the beginning to keep the greedy planners at bay.

Join us in our fight to save Capstone Valley once and for all.
