Community Action Teams | Second Monthly Project Round Up
The Community Action Teams work in partnership with participating town and parish councils to provide an area-focused approach to address local issues and doing extra jobs that aren’t picked up as part of the council's routine business. Find out how the teams having been going the extra mile!
Vehicles parked in disabled bays
The neighbourhood enforcement team were called to Oakengates Town Council and identified a number of vehicles using the disabled bays without displaying a valid blue badge. The team and council have encouraged the use of the free car parking spaces available nearby to prevent access for other vehicle users who would greatly benefit.
Litter picking found on a green guarantee site
Our Environment Community Liaison Officer went out to inspect a green guarantee site in Dawley for Great Dawley Town Council. During the check-up it was noticed that contractor equipment may have been taken and used to build dens which was then reported and the litter was cleared, making it appealing and safer for residents to use.
Councillor Lee Carter, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood, Commercial Services and Regeneration said:
“It is inspiring to see the how the teams are committed to driving change and making an impact by keeping the borough’s streets clean and green spaces safe. A small step in the right direction.”
