Allesley Green - Carols in the Close

It was great to support Allesley Green Residents’ Association last night with Cllrs Gary Ridley & Julia Lepoidevin at their annual Carols in the Close.

A great opportunity to catch-up with residents and enjoy a glass of mulled wine & a mince pie.

The carols were led by local residents and enjoyed by all. A great Christmas tradition.

Allesley Green - Quiz Night

It was fantastic to support the Allesley Green Residents’ Association annual quiz night at Jaguar Social Club yesterday evening.

Our team didn’t win the quiz, but we had a good night on the raffle.

Good to catch up with residents at a great community event.

Tile Hill - Ponderosa Footpath

It is fantastic to report that work will commence on a footpath around the Ponderosa very shortly. This will be a fantastic improvement for residents in Tile Hill and the wider Woodlands Ward community.

Back in August 2021 I raised a petition, in response to calls from residents, calling upon Coventry City Council to install a footpath around the Ponderosa in Tile Hill.

In Oct 2021 I presented my petition to Full Council.

In Feb 2022 I outlined my petition to the Cabinet Member. Unfortunately, my petition was rejected.

But, we didn’t give up hope and continued to seek alternative funding.

Mount Nod - Alderminster Rd - Traffic Calming Petition

I attended a Cabinet Member meeting this afternoon in support of my petition calling for traffic calming measures on Alderminster Rd.

Unfortunately, the number of road deaths or recorded accidents on this stretch of road do not meet the Council’s criteria for intervention. This is despite two significant incidents recently that have seen vehicles crash into residential properties causing significant damage and danger to the public.

However, I welcome comments from the Cabinet Member who agreed to defer a decision and to consider data from vehicle activated signs (VAS) on Alderminster Rd and to conduct further speed surveys along the stretch of road adjacent to the shopping area.

I will update further as soon as I am able.

5G Phone mast application - Tile Hill Library, Jardine Crescent

I have formally objected to this planning application and referred the matter to Planning Committee. The existing design is completely unsuitable. At 20m, this mast would tower over its surroundings.

More details on the application are available here: https://planandregulatory.coventry.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=getApplication&id=269275%20

CITY CENTRE - PARKING CHARGES

Coventry City Council have decided to increase City Centre parking charges in the evenings and on Sundays.

Coventry Conservatives are opposing this move that will add further misery to traders in the city centre.

Nitrous Oxide to be Banned

This is great news for Woodlands Ward as there are several locations throughout the ward that are blighted by discarded canisters.

Hopefully, the police will now have the tools to tackle this problem.

📢 BREAKING: Nitrous oxide to become an illegal Class C substance by the end of the year.

Number 82 bus service

At a recent residents meeting a request was made for the number 82 bus service to call at Woodridge Avenue. As a result, I made representations to Transport for West Midlands and I'm pleased to say they've agreed to the suggestion.

From September the number 82 will now call at Woodridge Avenue. Full timetable details are to follow.

This is a great result and couldn't have happened without the support and enthusiasm shown by the Allesley Green Residents Association. More information is available here: https://www.coventryconservatives.com/news/councillors-welcome-improved-bus-service-allesley-green
