Open Spaces and associated Play Areas have gradually improved over the past decae or so. But the last 4 years have seen more rapid improvements.
Here is my latest (and last) Ward Report as a Sleaford Town Councillor. The photographs were all taken on April 1st.
WARD REPORT APRIL 2019
General
On April 1st I toured the Holdingham Ward with specific reference to the Facilities which are the direct responsibility of Sleaford Town Council. The facilities included: Woodside Play Area (Open Space): Lincoln Road Play Area; Bus Stop/Shelter adjacent to Furlongs Road; Becks on Lincoln Road and to the rear of Winchester Way.
Some relevant Photographs are attached.
Summary
The improvement in the facilities available on the Lincoln Road and Woodside Open Spaces are considerable in comparison to those available in 2015. (These are my observations).
Woodside: The Fencing in Summerfield (boundary with the Open Space) has improved matters for the residents. The entrance at Woodside (off Summerfield and the Sleaford Wood) is now more open. Note: it suffers from very muddy conditions at times (responsibility unclear).
Bus shelter: Graffiti is a problem. (I understand this is to be cleaned). Thankful for the cleaning but these ASB acts use up Ratepayers money.
Lincoln Road Issues: The Beck adjacent to Holdingham “Green” Housing (e.g. Stokes Drive) to Hockmeyers Garage) suffers from Litter mainly near to Hockmeyers Garage. Fast Food Cartons and Drink containers. Similarly: the hedgerows adjacent to Peterborough Way suffer from Litter deposits. The pavements are cleaned by STC (and also McDonalds and NKDC (where appropriate e.g. Farm Bridge)
General Conclusion
Council Staff, Services and Assets Panel and others deserve some credit.
