Community Group to take over Hilton Hall

Hilton Hall Community Association has been formed with the aim of restoring the hall to ists former glory.  The new Association Chair is Mr Keith Jones who also runs the karate club from these premises.  Wolverhampton City Council has allowed the hall to fall into a great deal of disrepair and an awful lot of money will be needed to bring it back up to its best.  However, Mr Jones and his Committee are confident that they will raise what is required.  The Association has also got the offer of helf from users of the hall who are bricklayers, plumbers, electricians etc.  The Association has been properly constituted and they are currently seeking charity status.  Insurances willl be paid and the myriad of other legal things that have to be done.  Councillor Mike Heap said "Mr Jones has had the support of your local Councillors from day one and we will continue to give the Association every help and support it needs.   This is a vital resource for the people of Lanesfield and beyond and we are determined to see it continue and flourish."

 
 

223 & 224 Bus Improvements

Councillor Richard Whitehouse is please to report back, as promised, that the review of these bus services has been done.  It was found that there was a real problem with timekeeping mainly because of traffic congestion in Dudley.  As a result the timetables have been altered in order to give a better running time and so hopefully improve time keeping.  There are route revisions around Dudley, however, the most important change for our residents is that the 224 is to be rerouted from the end of November along Farrington Road, Ettingshall Park.  This follows a concerted campaign by the more elderly and infirm residents of Farrington Road to get the bus returned to them at the same time numerouse objections from the residents of Grosvenor Road for it going along their road.  Councillor Whitehouse said "this is good news for nearly everyone and a credit to the hard work a number of residents have put int this.  However, the subsidy only lasts from Centro for another six months and so IF YOU DON'T USE IT YOU WILL LOSE IT.  Finally, if you would like a new timetable then phone me and I will deliver you one as soon as they are printed."

Community Speed Camera

Councillor Richard Whitehouse is pleased to announce that he persuaded the Wolverhampton Road Safety Committee to consider funding a camera and clothing for a residents speed check initiative in our area.  Before it can come into use interested members of the public must first attend a training course.

 
 

Door Entry Hurst Road

Councillor Malcolm Gwinnett can report that after some few years of lobbying the flats on Hurst Road are to have a door entry system early next year.

Gas Central Heating Flats Birminham New Road

Councillor Mike Heap welcomed the new central heating being installed in the three storey flats along the Birmingham New Road.  He said "The old storage heaters were generally past their serviceable life and so your focus team pressured and succeed in having these replaced."

Closure of Footpath Dawson Avenue to Woodcross Lane

Councillor Malcolm Gwinnett is happy to report that the order has been passed to close the footpath from Woodcross Lane along the rear of the club to where it meets the footpath from Dawson Avenue.  Malcolm said "I hope this will help alleviate the problems that residents in this area have experienced over many years."
