The alleyway between Howard Road and Aubrey Road has long been a site for graffiti and anti-social behaviour. We asked officers to address this and the broken fence has now been replaced with bollards and the graffiti has been removed. The police Safer Neighbourhood Team patrol the area regularly and we have asked for fly-tipping to be removed immediately. If you see any problems in the area, do get in touch.

Orphan sites have been blighting this borough for years. These are areas – often quite small – which nobody owns or cares for, so which become dirty and unsightly. We have been reporting sites that we have seen in the ward, arranging for them to be cleaned.
The alleyway between Hurst Road and Forest Road is one area – it has become overgrown and is an eyesore. By May, it will have been dealt with – the weeds will be removed and turfed over and the wall will be removed. Overhanging branches will be removed and improved lighting will be installed.
The alleyway between Howard Road and Aubrey Road is prone to fly-tipping, graffiti and anti-social behaviour. This will be improved by the end of May and will be taken over by the Aubrey Road Residents Association.
If there are other orphan sites that need to be sorted, let us know.
Four roads in Hoe Street ward have also been approved for improvement works, after lobbying from Saima, Ahsan and I. Copeland Road, Leamington Avenue, Milton Road and Wingfield Road will all be worked on in the next year.

We have received many complaints from residents about the footpath between Howard Road and Aubrey Road. It is frequently fly-tipped and is often the scene of anti-social behaviour and crime.
We want to improve the footpath and have obtained funds to renovate the area. We are proposing to install new raised flower planters – do you agree with this plan? We hope the planters will be maintained by the Aubrey Road Residents Association – we are very grateful to them for offering to do this. A plaque will be placed on the planters to recognise the Residents Association’s work.
If you run a residents’ association in Hoe Street ward and would like to work with the council to make your road a better place to live, get in touch with us and we can help. The council can provide you with materials and assistance to improve your area. We’re waiting for your calls!
