Alleyways /Bankeyfields Park and Open Space

Reports of a group of young people drinking in the alleyway running from William Coltman Way to Regninal Mitchell Way - support request for intervention. The alleyway is full of litter smashed bottles and cans.

Open Space

• Evidence of drinking at the park and reports of youths very late at night on the park up to 1pm
• Residents raised the issue of dog fouling on the streets and the open space
• Litter and dog bins are not been emptied regularly
• Open Space grass is not cut and landscaping seems to have ceased

Roundabout

Roundabout at the entrance to the estate

The roundabout on the entrance to the estate is an eyesore it’s very overgrown and requires more manageable landscaping It gives a poor impression of the estate.

Questions for the AIT (Area Implementation Team)

1. What can be done to resolve the issue of ASB and young people in the public spaces on the estate and what do the residents need to do to help?.

2. Can we have the signs re dog fouling on lampposts around the park and estate?

3. Can we have the footpath spray/stencil for hotspot areas? Could NW committee members do this

4. Can the grass cutting and emptying of bins be put on a regular rota
Could we be considered for/ included on a RESPEST action week

5. Can the roundabout at the entrance to the estate be landscaped in consultation with residents via the Neighbourhood Watch?

6. Can the Neighbourhood Management team forward a paragraph introducing themselves their role and how they can help and contact details?

7. Request for site meeting to discuss Reginald Mitchell Way
