Section 3: Community Involvement
This year I have continued to be involved with the Friends of Brinton Park group. I am treasurer for the group and attend regular meetings.
I am also a member of Wyre Forest Green Alliance and provide a link between the council and local sustainability groups.
I regularly liaise with the police local Safer Neighbourhood Team regarding speeding concerns, parking and any anti-social behaviour. I hope to have a “speedwatch” scheme for 2 of my streets set up this year, with support from the local police.
I am a member of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for one of my local schools.
This year I am setting up “Incredible Edible Kidderminster” initiative, growing food locally for the community, with support from local organisations and councils.
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
I communicate with residents regularly via my regular newsletters, phone calls/email and social media.
I have supported residents with a range of issues such as dog mess, local bus services, overgrown shrubbery, anti-social behaviour, neighbour disputes, housing and parking issues. I have followed up residents' concerns about the delays to the works at Brinton Park.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
I work with other Councillors, officers and outside agencies with the aim of making life better for all residents. Supporting families and children, reducing carbon emissions, eliminating our use of pesticides, improving air quality, and protecting the natural environment are important to me.
