Problem<\/b><\/td>\n Detail<\/b><\/td>\n Update<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Trees<\/span><\/td>\n Issues relating to:<\/span>\n
leaves<\/span><\/p><\/td>\n
This has been raised with the council and discussions are on-going.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Estate maintenance<\/span><\/td>\n Issues with slip\/trip hazards and overgrown footpaths<\/span><\/td>\n This has been raised with the council and discussions are on-going.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Antisocial parking<\/span><\/td>\n Near to school and also in other locations making access difficult<\/span><\/td>\n Bollards and double yellow lines are being investigated as are visits from ticket wardens.<\/span>\n
To improve pedestrian safety near to the school, a possible crossing will be raised with MKC.<\/span><\/p>\n
This will hopefully also affect the parking in the immediate area.<\/span><\/p>\n
(Other solutions such as cameras, no-parking times etc were raised but will be left for the moment.)<\/span><\/p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Street lights<\/span><\/td>\n Street lighting that it not working<\/span><\/td>\n This has been raised with the highway agency (and, where relevant, the school)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dog bins<\/span><\/td>\n Problems with placement being away from the main footpaths, so that dog owners are not always using them<\/span><\/td>\n 2 pre-existing bins may be moved closer into Galley Hill.<\/span>\n
We will request an additional bin at the Galley Hill\/Fullers Slade boundary where there is currently no bin.<\/span><\/p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
If there are (specific!) problems with trees, etc, please pass this on to the committee so that we can collect the data.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
Concerns were also raised that there may be possible future problems with Galley Hill being used as a \u2018rat run\u2019 as the Western Expansion develops. \u00a0However, this is not yet felt to be an issue.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
Litter bins as well as dog bins were requested.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
