These are not brilliant and it remains Conservative policy to get rid of them. However there is a vacancy for one member at the moment the sole requirement being they are a tenant.
Meetings are on a Tuesday afternoon generally and there is a flat fee of £25 for each meeting attended.
Anyone interested please let us know and we will forward to the officer. (We do not name officers or politicise them on this site, or elesewhere, otherwise we would point you in the direct route, but can assure you we will forward all applications received and will not vet any)

Kelvin Hall
We can announce that the successful applicant to rebuild this school on the existing site was Balfour Beatty.
Andrew and I have had concept meetings with the BSF team and made clear the parameters this should be done to. Alas we lost the battle about numbers and Kelvin Hall again loses community focus as the catchment area goes into Derringham ward. Currently it attracts Bricknell residents, those from the Avenues Ward and those from North Hull estate.
Once firm proposals emerge we will of course keep you in touch and may even organise a public meeting

Children's centre at Bricknell Primary
Proposals for this came to Planning Committee which Andrew turned up for.
The committee were mystified why a tree needed to be felled given there was so much space and in view of that, plus the contradictory evidence they were presented with, agreed to make a site Visit on the morning of September 9th and the decision in the afternoon.

We continue the Goddard Avenue playing fields mess which the Avenues lovvies are meddling in (not the members, local residents abusing Andrew and I as well as you for daring to want some privacy and protection from anti-social behaviour).
long standing residents will remember when I fought the campaign to stop houses on there (Andrew was still at school) and Ella street residents all said "nothing to do with us" and took no part in the successful campaign? Now, after blocking off an access because they felt they needed protection from anti-social behaviour, they decide it is a matter for them.

Let us be clear:-
- we do NOT intend long-term closure of the fields to the public
- we DO intend sports use (since they are sports fields!), with public use like we have achieved in Cropton Road
- Talks ARE proposed between the owners of the private land which people are unlawfully claiming use of and the council
- there are NO plans to gate off the piece of land immediately adjacent to Jack Kaye walk
- there are NO plans to park cars on Jack Kaye walk
I hope that addresses the delusional accusations flying around and reassures local residents that we are acting in their best interests as well as recognising wider responsibilities. I will not comment on the nonsense we are enduring, people can read the facts here and draw their own conclusions from the different attitudes shown.
needless to say nobody from Ella Street gas spoken to Andrew or I about the matter - they just seem to divine it all by osmosis!

Windsor Road Gullies & Railway Bridge
Good news today on two fronts.
Firstly, following complaints I received about blocked gullies on Windsor Road, the Council has been down to have a look and will clear the detritus from the grates which are causing the blockages. There were particular problems yesterday during the heavy rain with a couple of these grates.
Secondly, following our action, the Council have been a cleaned the pigeon muck from under the railway bridge on Chants Ave. There is still a dispute as to whether the Council or Network Rail are responsible for the bridge and the assocaited pigeon problem. An independent adjudicator will now make a decision on who is responsible.
I am also pursuing a seperate issue related to the bridge which relates to the barriers whih run along the pavements under the bridge. These need re-paiting and we are working with the Lib Dem Councillors in Avenue Ward to try to acheive this.

Up and Running Again
Please accept our apologies for the delay in updating the blog. We had some technical issues, or rather we lost the passwords, but everything is now up and running again.
Rest assured, we have been working as hard as ever, as residents should have seen from the local newsletters. Current on-going campaigns include -
Rest assured, we have been working as hard as ever, as residents should have seen from the local newsletters. Current on-going campaigns include -
- Tidying up the Chants Ave railway bridge and seeking a permanent solution to the pigeon issue.
- The re-painting of the footbridge on Hotham Road North, terracotta in the hope of deterring graffiti.
- Removing the graffiti on the clubhouse on the Cropton Park.
- New flagpoles for Commonwealth Homes and the Cropton Park.
- Tidying up the roundabout on Cott Rd/Farifax Avenue.
- Protecting grassed areas and grass verges against irresponsible parking.
Obviously, there are more but these should give an idea of our continued commitment to working hard for you all year round.

THANK YOU
John and I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in the Council Elections on May 1st.
The result in Bricknell Ward was truly phenomenal for the Conservatives. We managed to achieve not only the highest turnout in the City but also achieved the biggest majority of the night and gained a record 67% share of the vote.
As a result of the kindness of the people of Bricknell, John and I are able to continue our fight for standards locally.
Many thanks for your support.
