Rubbish

Once again the issue of rubbish in the area was raised. It was pointed out that people have been dumping rubbish on the back of Clarence Street. Since this discussion MDC have been out and cleared up some of the rubbish. Questions were also raised regarding the bin collections on the back of Clarence Street, as the bin lorry used to reverse up the road, but no longer does. Concerns were also raised about the amount of dog mess in the area, and a desire for specialist bins was raised.

Activities

There was further discussion surrounding the Halloween and Bonfire Night Celebrations, and what options we have for entertainment etc. We also agreed the media message we will present for the Bonfire Night celebrations. Concerns were raised about the conflicting message from MVMP regarding the climbing wall, and we agreed we need to clarify this. Finally, we also discussed possible activities for adults.
