YOUR UPLANDS PARTY COUNCILLORS

This month saw the introduction of our dedicated ward operative who will be tackling jobs such as cutting back foliage and keeping kerb lines clean. We have also been helping monitor noise levels from park events with the council and university. We have also been on site at Brynmill Park where the council have been instructed to carry out works to monitor the banks of the reservoir.

WORK REPORT: We compiled our work carried out for Uplands over the last five years and formed our manifesto. The document was then distributed to residents.

BUS STOPS: We have won our battle to have seating installed on the replacement bus stops in Walter Road and Sketty Road.

TOWNHILL CAMPUS: We have been liaising with constructors and Pobl over timelines regarding the demolition of the halls of residents building and passing on observations from residents in Notts Gardens to them about the effects of the projects on the street.

THE GROVE: We have spoken with residents about options for the proposed planters which we are helping to fund through the community budget. These will replace some of the rotting posts. We have also carried out a clean up of the road signage.

The growth around traffic islands and other kerblines, does make the area look shoddy. We have dug round the Sketty Road pelican crossing island and hope that the improvement is welcomed. We will continue with other islands ourselves whilst speaking with the council to get a proper schedule in place to raise standards in the area.
