🚨🐾 DOG FOULING - PICK IT UP, BAG IT, BIN IT! 🐾🚨
I've been hearing from many residents about an increase in dog fouling around our area, so I’ve been working to address it. Ironically, after putting up new signage today, I ended up stepping in dog mess myself! 😤
To tackle this issue, there will be extra patrols from community enforcement officers in St Barnabas. Anyone caught not cleaning up after their dog could face a fixed penalty fine of up to £1000. The officers can also issue fines for littering.
If you spot dog fouling that needs cleaning or have information about offenders, please report it:
📞 Call: 0300 123 5011
📱 Use the FixMyStreet app or visit www.fixmystreet.com/
Let’s all do our part to keep our streets clean. Bag it and bin it! 🐕🦺🙏
Thank you!

🚧 WORKING TO GET HIGHWAYS ISSUES FIXED 🚧
I recently reported a couple of issues to Cheshire East Highways:
🚦 The poor condition of the road near the pedestrian crossing on Bradfield Road.
💡 An insecure lamp post column on Minshull New Road.
I have been advised by Highways that the pothole issue was repaired last week to make it safe. I’ll be visiting the site to check the repair and see if any additional work is needed.
If you notice any similar issues, please report them to Highways by calling 0300 123 5020 or using the FixMyStreet app.

LEIGHTON BROOK PARK TIDY UP - FRANK WEBB AVENUE
I noticed that the perimeter fencing around Leighton Brook Park on Frank Webb Avenue was becoming very overgrown and looking a bit of a mess with brambles spreading towards the footpath. It certainly grows quickly!
Thank you to the ANSA team who recently responded to my request and gave it a good cut back. It certainly looks much tider now!
