The Staple Tye Ward Advisory Group meets again this afternoon. A lot of issues are raised about particular estates - street sweeping in Longbanks, the crumbling road hump at Woodhill, lorries blocking traffic at The Briars.

We also have a long discussion about the suggestion of bringing in 'introductory tenancies' - not giving new tenants a secure tenancy until they've lived in their home for a fixed period of time, so that they can easily be moved out if they don't pay their rent or cause a nuisance. The group is strongly in favour of this. What do other residents think?

The next meeting of the group is on Tuesday 7 March in the evening at the Staple Tye council office.
