Montpelier Park plans - landscape designer appointed and £90K earmarked (approx half of that is for capital costs)

The street lighting policy continues to frustrate. Residents should get some choice about what happens in their street.

The Hopetoun Road to Muller Road path is temporarily shut. Station Lane path should be open for the duration of the works. This will mean access from Ashley Down to Fairfield School remains unaffected.

Purdown school playing fields have been given go ahead.
