Chair’s Report On April 1st, we were able to celebrate 25 years of Myland Community Council, which was given official recognition on April 1st 1999. For those who attended it was a reminder of how much over the years we have been able to achieve for our growing community, thanks to the time and enthusiasm of fellow residents. We are pleased to say the future looks just as promising, with a community centre to come and village green space, as well as a new but thriving sport and leisure committee, full of ideas for how we can support the development of activity for all ages and offer financial assistance. My thanks to those who worked hard to get the event up and running and those who made the time to come and speak to us on the day. A chance to reflect on how far we have come and what there remains we can do and you would like us to do (fully accessible playgrounds were mentioned and connected green access). Over the last few months we have seen good things happen with tidying up of overgrown pathways and changes, which haven’t been easy with the starting of the Rapid Transit Route on Northern Approach Road causing disruption, noise and dust to many, as well as obvious concern to those living closest. I am pleased we have been able to represent those with concerns and push for better from the contractors. Thanks also to those raising questions over plastic around small trees on roadside verges and hedgerow cutting along Mill Road in front of the old rugby club. We have been able to confirm replacement hedgerow whips on Mill Road and ask if trees can be left unrestrained and plastic removed. Please come to us with anything you think we can help with, no matter how small the problem seems to be. We have good relationships with City Council and are usually in a position to get an answer and action. We were delighted to welcome new Councillor Lindsey in February. It was greatly encouraging to see three residents step forward for selection and good to see many of our local residents have a voice which wants to be heard, to help us continue the hard work for another 25 years!
