Call me funny but I like canvassing. Knocking on the door of complete strangers, asking them what particular local issues concern them and where possible trying to help them fix it. But that is not all. When you are out pounding the streets you often notice little niggles that the council could easily fix but they might not know about them. Often local residents don't have the time to report them, or do not know who in the council to contact, or indeed which council is responsible. An excellent website FixMyStreet makes this easier. We made a number of reports after canvassing the other day.
An abandoned refrigerator on Maple close.
A broken street sign on Maple close.
A blocked drain on Milton Road.
Graffiti on a give way sign.
A crumbled pavement.
A pile of green waste.
