Local Labour councillors and representatives are working hard on your behalf throughout the area and bring news of action they are involved in and other other local issues which have been brought to their attention....
Nixon's Wood
Moss Side Women’s Institute have been involved in work to enhance the wood. And a very good job they have made of it. The pathway through the wood is quite narrow. Ulnes Walton Bridleway Association wants this path to form part of their bridleway route to allow as many horses as possible to avoid the busy road around School Lane and Dunkirk Lane. Your local Labour Team is aware of some concern about the safety of mixing horses with walkers, children and pets. County Councillor Anne Brown said "Both local organizations have a lot to offer this area and I am sure that a way of safely accommodating both groups and their objectives can be found".
(Trouble at) Mill Lane
Following complaints to local Councillors and the Area Committee, County Councillors arranged a meeting on the site which has been the source of significant anti-social behaviour. The land owner, the Community Beat team met Anne Brown and a number of residents. As a result of this the site was made less accessible and residents report some reduction in nuisance. We hope that this can be permanent peace for the hard pressed residents. The people who were a problem have probably moved elsewhere. Where are they now? Do you know where your kids are?
The Place is the place
Use of the community centre is building slowly and will build faster as volunteers come forward to help.
Wade Hall Community Forum
Concern was expressed by members of the community about drinkers hanging around the Royal Avenue shops during the day, giving a bad impression of the area and a poor example to children. Police and Borough Council officers will work together to solve this problem.
Moss Side Community Forum
Moss Side Community Forum is beavering away trying to raise the funding to make a much improved and more accessible Community Centre. They also need a lot more volunteers. If you are interested in the community you would be very welcome.
Penwortham Bypass
This would mean an end to delays going into Preston. The County Council have agreed to employ consultants to bring the bid up to date.
