Since my most recent monthly local issues and casework update report I’ve raised queries with the authorities on behalf of 64 residents and businesses across the Blackhall ward. I've also made direct contact with more than 78 individual residents. Almost all of these queries are personal and/or confidential so for obvious reasons details cannot and will not be disclosed to the public.
In addition, I’ve dealt with a number of general queries raised by members of the public. These include issues raised at ward surgeries, during street walkabouts, at the monthly Blackhall PACT meeting and through other methods, including direct contact with me via telephone, email and my social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky).
These issues range from reinstated traffic calming measures and other highways issues to new street signs for schools in Blackhall Colliery and a preserved cornerstone in Hesleden. I’ve selected a few for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.
