REPLACEMENT SENIOR PLAY EQUIPMENT,KYNASTON ROAD REC:

This wooden equipment was put up by local Residents after raising a lot of money and asking other funders to help.
Unfortunately it is now 'past its sale by date!'

£60,000 has now been put in the Borough Budget. GREAT!.

Consultation with teenagers has now taken place. The youngsters had a wide choice of equipment from pictures on display.

I had stipulated that the equipment MUST BE fun; challenging and as exciting as possible.

Their choice has now gone out to Tender. When in the Supplier will be chosen from those who put in a Bid.

The plan is to have it up by the Summer Holidays.

I will see if pictures of the equipment can be put on this BLOG.

Youth Residents Group

I'd really like to form a Youth Residents group for Harlescott!

These are some of my ideas - which can be changed by those who come to the first meeting!
After the first meeting the Group will be run by the Young people themselves.
They can decide what they want to do and how to run it etc.
It will be the voice of the young people of the Ward.
Suggestion - the Age group 14 to 21?
I have a few interested young people, their ideas include :- making a video of the Ward; Discos; Graffiti Workshops; football and basketball competitions. What ideas do you have?
The First Meeting is provisionally planned for APRIL/MAY.
Venue? Where would you like to meet? What time and Day??
Watch this BLOG for Date and time.
If you'd like to get involved and come to the first ever youth residents group, email me with your details eileen.sandford@shrewsbury.gov.uk
Please give me your email, name and address (do not forget post code)
It would help to give your age when replying.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Harlescott Roads Group

I intend to form a 'Roads Group' (not a committee!) in the near future.
I believe this will strengthen my power when I am negotiating for improvements or alterations to the ward's roads.
Also I will be able to consult you when there are planning improvements etc.
I plan to include the following roads to be represented:-

• Mount Pleasant (2 reps)
• Lancaster Road
• Westbury Road & Boscobel Drive
• Morville Road
• York Road (possibly 2 reps)
• Kynaston Road
• Harlescott Lane (2 reps. to include Harlescott Cresc: and Crossing.
• Battlefield Industrial Park
• Worcester Road
• Bainbridge Green
• Schools rep

The idea is to look after and observe Safety zones, parking, traffic calming measure and get your thoughts and help for the ward.

We would need 12- 14 reps for all the roads.
Meetings to be held when required. Suggest about 2 a year plus the preliminary.
We could invite a Highways Officer/Police or as we think might be helpful.
Venue to be determined, any ideas?

If you're interested in representing a road please let me know & if you have any ideas, I'm listening!

I'm Online!

Welcome to my new venture!
I haven’t any idea where to start but I am having help with the technology and so hopefully, I’ll make progress!

The idea is to attempt to communicate with all my residents who use the world wide web.
This will be your chance to ‘talk’ to me and get your questions answered, (if I don’t know the answer, I will find out), and your chance to air your opinions on national, local or any other subject you are interested in.

I will be posting entries with news and views on national and local issues, I want to know what you think about everything going on today.
If you don’t know who I am, please read the links on this page to ‘About Me’.

So, what do you think? Please leave a comment below.
