5 community members that attend the book and blether group at Youth Connections have stated:
There is the annual fear of the build up to the local fireworks display and the mess that is left behind, and the impact this has on factor fees
A feeling of being unsafe standing at bus stops at night, mainly down to poor lighting
There is always cars parked on pavements and this makes it difficult for people with disabilities to use the public walkways.
The area requires a more frequent warden / police presence.
Kestrel crescent grass area has high activity of rodents and the grass needs cut, the pavements in this area need repaired too.
We think the council need to advertise who to report safety concerns to as it is not clear at the moment.
