Newland Park street sweeping

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured an undertaking that efforts will be made to ensure Newland Park streets will be swept before student and other parking begins in the morning.

For some time we have been pressurising the officers to accept the obvious – namely, that if street cleansing here is to achieve the best possible results, that cannot be attempted at any time of day when non-resident vehicles belonging to students and others are around.  Far better, we have long contended, to do the job before all those vehicles get here since of course residents park, for the most part, on their own drives. We raised this matter yet again at Wyke Area Committee and finally received, after rather prolonged pressure, and undertaking that the officers would take our views back and arrange for what we wanted to be done.
