Trinity Mead Parking Survey

Following a number of complaints Trinity Mead from residents, the Alveston ward councillors, led by Cllr Diane Walden, carried out a survey of the Trinity Mead area to try and identify the problems around parking.  The results are clear cut – three quarters of the people replying to the survey said that poor parking had affected them directly.

The main problem is caused by parking on corners and bends, making it difficult to see past the parked vehicles.  As several people put it, ‘accidents waiting to happen’.  Some cars park with two wheels on the pavement, presumably trying to be helpful to other road users.  However, it’s clear from the survey responses that this in turn is causing problems by partially blocking the pavement for pedestrians and pram and mobility scooter users.

Dear Neighbour

It seems a number of domestic burglaries have occurred whereby the addresses were targeted following entries made by the victims on social networking Web Pages regarding holidays they were taking, thus divulging that their homes would be unoccupied, check out:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-12062331. Please take the utmost care that you do not make any such entries on these sites. After all, we cannot be certain that they are secure. Continue reading Protect Your Home
