Redbrick residents asked for views on improving area
9:33am Tuesday 18th September 2012 in News
RESIDENTS on the Redbrick Estate are invited to attend an ‘estate walkabout’ tomorrow to help improve the area.
The walkabout is taking place alongside the St Martin’s Community Safety Action Zone, which is a 12 month Basildon Community Safety Partnership project aimed at working with residents to make improvements.
Residents are invited to join Basildon Council’s officers to walk around the Redbrick estate to identify areas which need to be improved.
Cllr Malcolm Buckley , cabinet member with responsibility for community safety, said: “We held the first of the St Martin’s ward estate walkabouts last month, and it was extremely useful in finding out some of the issues which matter most to local residents.
"I hope that residents from the Redbrick estate will come along so that we can work together in addressing these issues and making it a more pleasant place for them to live.”
Residents who would like to get involved in the estate walkabout should meet at the junction of Frettons and Gordon Road at 11am on Wednesday 19 September.
The CSAZ street meeting is on Thursday October 11 from 2.30pm outside the Co-Op in Butneys.

Best thing to do is to pull the whole plase down,and move the people out else where.

1)Repairs to the roads and footpaths
2)Routine, regular management of encroaching vegetation/weeds etc
3)Regular street/road sweeping to clear the leaves,twigs and litter from the walkways/roads
4)Targetting and fining and if necessary evicting tenants who breach their tenancy agreement by the cultivation of cannabis (and you only need a nose to find where it's being grown on this particular estate) and anti social behaviour etc.
Of course, the Council will be relutant to act upon most of these suggestions as they involve spending money and employing people....

What is the point in doing a walkaround when people like myself (who would like to take part) are hard at work during the day? Add to that the fact that all the nuisance kids will be at school, makes it an almost pointless excercise.
But then it's no surpise. We asked for more of a police presence in our area and low and behold, they come during the day when no one is around.
