With great weather, and the great support of The Willows residents we cleared litter off the streets.

Newly elected Cllr Martyn Warnes and myself led the way, supplying the litter pickers and refuse sacks

Thank you to so many local residents who came and helped.

In partnership with Ormiston Barnardos children centre I have been supporting their project to create a community garden

Working with community payback teams.. the garden is being cleared and moving the project off the drawing board into reality

Watch this space in the weeks to come

All over Colchester there are pot holes needing attention

The system of priority setting needs amending so our estate local roads get attention

Today I re reported the deep pot hole in Gladwin Road .. with Isobel Merry

We will see what action we can get

On Sunday 25th March, I arranged a tidy up of the footpath leading to our local Schools.

Community payback workers did a cut back of overgrown bushes, strim of the grass and a big litter pick.

All looks good for the community to use safely again

Had a few bags of salt stacked away, so to ensure that risk of slips in the snow is minimised, I toured some areas to drop salts bags off.

Also some nearby residents picked up a few bags for known problem areas

Stay safe out there, try to stay indoors

Today (14th February ) we litter picked the whole of Shrub End estate. It took over 3 hours to tour the roads. Including collecting all the sacks of rubbish.

Thanks to family who joined the Labour team en route.. and a big thank you to the many many people who spoke to us as we walked around

Isobel Merry led the team, as she is a very experienced community litter collector.

Watts Road… Shrub End

A quick overview.. spotted a bad footpath.. and then after reporting it, the footpath and kerbs were repaired
