Councillor Glaholm says: We are still waiting for the Council to respond to the petition sent in by residents of Marston Avenue in April 2006 asking for extra parking.

Yellow lines will be removed in various parts of the estate to allow more parking and lines in Grafton Road will be changed to give more room when entering off Penhill Drive.

Some of our car parks will have white lines painted following residents requests.

Give way lines will be painted at the end of Corsham Road at the junction with Penhill Drive by Lillian Lock Gardens following a request from a local resident who highlighted it as a danger.

The containers on Winterslow Road have at last been removed and we have been assured the land will be reinstated.

Braydon Court works have been delayed because of the credit crunch and legal agreements being drawn up with the contractor but we expect the work to finally start early this year.

Mendip Close has had all the bushes and trees pruned back and looks a lot better.

Have a good Christmas & Happy new year to you all and we hope to see you all at our next Councillor Surgery in the New Year.

Cllr David Glaholm & Cllr Paul Baker
