Westmead Road Drainage: Following a number of residents’ complaints taken up by the Lib Dem FOCUS team recently, local Poets’ Estate resident and local Cllr. Jill Whitehead reports: “Thames Water have just completed a dredge of drainage outlets in Westmead Road and roads off it. They cleared out years of silt and sludge as well as other things blocking the flow, such as builders’ rubble.

Shirley Avenue Resurfacing: Jill adds: “Work has just been completed on completely resurfacing the road and pavement in Shirley Avenue together with a cut back of the grass verge, which has now been given a new metal border.   The double yellow lines on the corner with Milton Avenue have also been repainted as well as the pothole filled in at this site”.
