Section 4: Assisting Constituents
Residents contact me on a regular basis via telephone, email, newsletter feedback or face to face. I walk around the ward quite often, so residents readily stop me in the street to ask questions or raise concerns. Their concerns range from fly tipping, dog fouling, planning issues, housing concerns, benefits and many more.
Helping residents to resolve their concerns by signposting them to other relevant organisations like Citizens Advice Bureau, the hub where they can access help and advice with benefits, housing or other issues.
Reporting and requesting new litter bins or waste bins. The need for fly tipping to be collected and removed. Reporting these events to the enforcement team.
Helping residents to escalate their concerns regarding planning, derelict buildings, and referring it to the Member of Parliament when necessary.
Helping residents with car parking concerns and where appropriate refer to the enforcement team and/or the police.
Continuing to try to get the missing post box back now on the fourth round with Ofcom.
Helping some of the Community groups to raise funds for their cause.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
I meet with the SNT for Broadwaters on a regular basis along with the other ward councillors. It is where we can bring forward to the police residents concerns that seem not to have resolved, also we receive advice for residents from the police to pass onto them through our regular Independent Newsletter.
I attend the Community Housing Walkabouts in Broadwaters engaging with the housing officers and residents. Referring any specific issues onto the relevant WFDC officers.
Likewise, Health information that maybe useful from Health watch I pass onto residents in the Newsletter.
In the last year I have at my own expense become a first aider with St John's Ambulance. This is so I can support local groups when they have public events e.g. fundays and so on in the parks.
I am a trustee board member of Holy Trinity School Academy Trust. I have a keen interest in the provision of education for everyone in the Community as I come from an educational background.
