Since my most recent local issues and casework update report last month I’ve raised over 52 queries with the authorities on behalf of residents and businesses across the new Blackhalls & Hesledens ward. I've also been in direct contact with more than 70 individual residents (as you might have noticed the number of contacts this month has reduced considerably since my last report in April where the figures were inflated by an unusually high amount of casework queries in the run-up to the local elections held on Thursday 1 May). 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).
The main issues covered this month include plans for a speed survey at Blackhall Rocks, a new PACT meeting for Hesleden and delays to repairs to streetlighting faults at Broad Road. I’ve selected just a few of the articles about these issues for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.
