Missed Refuse Collection Adel Woods and Wayland Approach/Croft Update

In response to the previous post dated 23rd November your association passed on our thanks to Cllr Barry Anderson for his support in getting the black bags/wheelie bins emptied the following day which was greatly appreciated.

This is the response received from Cllr Barry Anderson as follows:

“There is no doubt that the new bin routes and bin days have caused a lot of problems locally. So far with a bit of pressure the refuse collection managers have been able to get things resolved within a reasonable period of time although there have been isolated occasions when they have not been able to get things done within a reasonable period of time. Can residents let me know as soon as their bins have been missed so that I can keep the pressure up on the department and you can receive a quality of service that we all want.”

Thanks

Barry

Turning Circle Sir George Martin Drive

Publisher: Cllr Barry Anderson

This issue was raised at the last Adel Association Meeting. I agreed to raise the issue and set out below is the response from Highways.

“Cllr Anderson

Very disappointing, the kerb alignment reflected the desire line where vehicles had over-run the grass, not wide enough for some ! I had heard from the team on site that Buses were parking up and taking breaks in a similar position. I am not an expert on Parking Restrictions and their justification, however I consulted the guru earlier about the recommendation, his comments below in blue.

Double yellow lines in these circumstances would not be effective. This is because the drivers of the vehicles stopping in the turning circle appear to be staying with their vehicles and if a warden approached them they could simply move off. In a location fairly remote from other restrictions any enforcement would be sporadic.

Not very positive, but reluctantly the only other alternative is to look at physical deterrents.”

Scam Alert – Water Board

Written by Publisher

Seems the scammers are out again – please can you make your friends and family aware and respond accordingly.

A man with an Irish accent aged late 20’s, short dark hair and black leather jacket tried to gain access to an older persons house recently in the Seacroft are.  He wanted to turn her “stop tap” off under the sink because he was plumbing in a neighbour’s washing Machine next door!!!!

He then tried to force his way in but was stopped by chain on door – thankfully our previous scam alerts had meant this client had kept her chain on before answering the door and she knew to call the Police.   The Police have potentially gained from prints but please can you reiterate this key message.
