Young people cared for in the
community
At the request of a local resident, I
have met recently with the managers of
the children’s home in Wyndham Road. I
am able to report that the young people
who are cared for in this home have a
curfew of 9.45pm, that 75% of the girls
are in full-time education and the
other 25% have a tailored programme of
education and activities, and that the
manager speaks regularly with many of
their neighbours.
Lorries Lorries Lorries
At the request of another local
resident, I have arranged for a new
sign to be put up at the junction of
Endless Street and Chipper Lane to
prevent lorries getting stuck in
Wyndham Road.
Better access for Motorised
wheelchairs
An elderly lady in Milford has
contacted me to express concern that
many pavements in the city centre are
not suitable for motorised
wheelchairs. I have set up a meeting
with the highways department, to take
place when the resident has fully
recovered from a recent stay in
hospital.
Boy-racers
On receiving a complaint that ‘boy-
racers’ were speeding late at night on
Wain-a-long road, some 6 nights out of
7, I alerted the local police who
agreed to keep watch and take action as
appropriate.
