MINUTES – The minutes of the meeting held on 3rd March 2022, having been posted online and circulated, were accepted.
MATTERS ARISING – A Police liaison meeting has been arranged for 25th May 2022 at 1.30 pm at Canley Police Station. Refuse Collection Dispute – general and recyclable waste is being collected by Tom White Waste. A community litter pick held on Sunday 13th March 2022 was well supported. The next Councillors’ Drop-in Session will be held on Friday 22nd April 2022 at 10.45-11.45 am at Finham Library; it is hoped a Police representative will also attend. Animal Pound – no response to John A's email to the Parks Department requesting maintenance assistance has been received and Coventry City Council have not commented further about making the structure safe.
Parking Around Grange Farm School – letters outlining measures already taken by the school have been delivered to homes in Hexworthy, Barnack and Dewsbury and it is hoped some feedback will be forthcoming. A small article about this appeared in the school’s newsletter at the end of March 2022. A resident in Dewsbury has supplied John B with photos of vehicles parked on double yellow lines and has also reported a disagreeable incident concerning a driveway obstruction.
Mantilla Drive Resurfacing – Mattie has raised a petition to have the work included in the Highway Capital Programme for the year April 2022 to March 2023 and volunteers are collecting signatures (currently just over 300). Mick has reported the worst areas on Fix my Street, but the damage would appear to be too serious for them to offer any help!
