OSCOTT DISABLED RESIDENTS CALL FOR MORE ROAD SAFETY MEASURES

The Oscott Disability Group is continuing to press the Birminghanm City Council to introduce more road and pavement safety measures in the Oscott area. This is not just about introducing the dreaded speed hump but more about sensible measures. For example a traffic lights at the Greenholm Road, Aldridge Road junction. Improvements to the Hawthorn Road pedestrian and traffic light system and erecting bollards near disabled bay drop curbs to ward off parked cars.
The Current Councils attitude to road and pavement safety has in our view been very poor for the last few years.

QUESLETT NATURE RESERVE COMMUNITY WATCH

With the help of the Police the Friends of the Queslett Nature Reserve are setting up a Reserve Community Watch.
After an initial training a group of memmers will from time to time patrol the reserve with Police CSO to act as a deterrent to anti social behavior on it and to help give reassurance to the users of the reserve.
or if you would like to take part in the many other activities of the F.O.Q.N.R please contact the Chair of the Friends of the Q.N.R Councillor Keith Linnecor on 360 6486.

QUESLETT ROAD ACTION IS NEEDED

ORG are appalled at the lack of action regarding much needed road safety measures for the Queslett Road. For most of last year we along with a number of other local resident Betty Whitehouse, Maureen Byre and of cause Councillor Keith Linnecor presented petitions and wrote various letters to authorities asking for action all to know avail.
We will continue to back Councillor Keith Linnecor in any attempts he makes to get the various authorities connected with the Queslett Road to take action and appeal to other polititions to do the same and to stop making childish political points over the matter as one did last year.
Let us all hope 2008 is the year something gets done.
