This week your Labour Councillors reached a milestone in helping with local residents complaints. In the last 2 years they have dealt with 350 complaints in the area from local residents.
Further evidence that Labour are working hard in the Peel area and supporting the residents in the area.
If you have a complaint or suggestion, please do not hesitate in contacting your Peel Councillors. We are here to help!
18 Months ago it was reported that a container that had been put in Horne St was causing an obstruction to local residents. There was also complaints of load music coming from the Pioneer Works and plastic rubbish on the street.
Councillor Plummer has been emailing and talking to Lancashire County Council on a regular basis for the last 18 months, trying to get them to remove the container. The County Council after much pestering from Councillor Plummer have issued an enforcement notice on the owner of the Pioneer Works.
Councillor Short and Plummer visited the Company and have had an undertaking from the company that they would keep the music down and ensure all plastic waste was removed from the street. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.
Councillors were out again on a sunny Sunday, litter picking around Plantation Street to Bold Street.
Your local councillor’s have been out and about tonight clearing the streets around the north end of the Peel Ward. Two shots an obligatory before and after.
We have available a small amount of money for improvement to Peel. If any residents or local association would like to come forward with any ideas, please contact Councillor Plummer or Councillor Short.
There are criteria that we need to adhere to, but this will be explained on contact.
This is you area have your say on how it should be improved.
In May it was brought to my attention from a local resident that there was fly tipping in the alley behind Claredon St. This was behind the old G4 building.
After conversations with the Council a notice was sent to the new owner to clear and secure the area. There has been no action by the owner and I have had to contact the council to request legal action. Legal action is now in the process of being sent out to the owner.
I will keep you posted on further developments as they happen.
Councillor Paddy Short
The following Fly Tipping has been reported this week:
Unfortunately one of the animal rides on the Coppice Play Area was vandalised recently. We have reported this to the council and they have removed it for safety.
Vandalism has started to blight the area again. If you see anyone vandalising property locally please call the police on 101.
On 8th August Councillors called on residents of Manor Brook. There has been instances in the area of persons unknown trying to enter houses in the early hours of the morning. Councillors Paddy Short and Joyce Plummer called on all the residents to warn them to keep their windows shut and not to leave their keys on the back of their doors.
If any residents believe someone is trying to enter their home, they should call 999 at once. Do not try to tackle or apprehend the intruders.
On 18 July the Police Cadets kindly agreed to help Councillors litter pick the entire area of Peel. There was 24 bags of rubbish collected from the streets. Many thanks to the Police Cadets for all their hard work.
