This week as Your Councillor

Graffiti, litter, art and trees

A slightly late update - This week as your councillor - well last week now.

A busy week full of variety. Just how I like it.

Helped host a Big Art Fun Morning for local children and families. Lots of colour, creativity, and smiles.

Sat down with colleagues to review a joint working matrix. We’re working together more effectively through the Local Councils Forum.

Supported residents stuck in house move chains due to delays with S106 agreements. It’s not fair when slow responses elsewhere risk breaking home purchases. I’m pushing for answers and faster action.

Responded to graffiti enquiries. Getting unsightly mess sorted quickly.

Joined a quick litter pick. Every little bit helps keep our parish tidy.

Looked into tree planting plans. Learned from a neighbouring council’s work to address the shortfall across Swindon. We’re considering how to do more here too.

Thank you to everyone who stops to chat or shares local concerns. I’m always here to help where I can.
