Be a greenie not a meanie and learn about climate change at this year’s Green Fair

This year’s event at Lloyd and Aveling Park will take place 2pm-7pm, 20 July and will feature creative and musical work by young people inspired by William Morris’ cultural legacy

Visitors on the day will encounter a musical interpretation of William Morris’ green utopia within the park while artwork created by young people working with local artists will also be displayed.

There will also be plenty of information to help residents do their bit to tackle climate change and increase the amount they recycle, fun activities for children, live music, food and drink.

The Green Fair is the Council’s annual environmental event which aims to improve people’s awareness of green issues and help people to make the small changes to their lives, which can help to make a dramatic effect on the environment.

Following a complaint by a resident of Macdonald Road claiming the road had not been swept for 4 weeks, your Focus Team arranged for Kier Street Services to do a thorough clean of both sides of the bridge.

When they left all the weeds had been removed and the street was in a class A condition.

It was clear however that the street had been swept in recent weeks.

On our regular ward walk on Saturday Cllrs John Macklin and Bob Belam came across this rubbish dumped under the arch at 31/44 Ashdown Court.

We asked officers to carry out an inspection to see who is responsible for the removal of rubbish, the purpose builds sheds and management of the site.

An inspector will be visiting today and will be liasing with colleagues in order to resolve this issue.
