Simister Village Community Association
Last night I attended a well attended meeting of this local residents association.
Wetlands Developments
The Simister wetlands is a local nature reserve and the SVCA are keen to see the site develop and become a local beauty spot. The SVCA have contacted the BBC’s Autumnwatch with a view to obtaining a grant fro improvements to the site.
Allotments
Specifically Egypt Lane Allotments - They are in need of attention - a large number are currently unusable due to bad drainage. The new allotment manager was there to brief residents. They hope to find funds in the near future to carry out drainage improvements and generally improve the allotments.
Roads
Concerns were raised at the lack of flexibility over the councils refusal to allow Road mirrors at junctions with poor visibility. I promised to take take this issue up with the Council. Additional issues were raised regarding the new traffic calming measures on the approach to Parrenthorn School.
The next meeting of the Association is January 30th, 7.30pm Lady Wilton Hall
