Attached is the list of some of the issues I am currently working on;
- Planning - the picture above is a 3D rendering of what the Isle of Dogs might look like if all known developments finish - the area will be denser then Manhattan - how this area copes with that level of growth drives a lot of my work
- Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Planning Forum - website here
- Road and pedestrian safety especially around construction sites - I have drawn up this map here of the construction sites, danger spots and other issues which I share with the Council
- 20 mph blanket speed ban - as I do not believe it delivers safer roads without other changes
- Anti-social behaviour - short term by working with the police but this is an area that needs a lot more work
- Member of the following Council committee's (substitute means I deputise if a colleague cannot attend)
- Grants Scrutiny Sub-Committee (Chair)
- Audit Committee (Member)
- Pensions Committee (Member)
- Housing Scrutiny Sub-Committee (Member)
- Overview & Scrutiny Committee (Member)
- Strategic Development Committee (Substitute)
- Development Committee (Substitute)
- General Purposes Committee (Substitute)
- Communicating with residents;
- Through Facebook my own page here, through various local groups like Canary Wharf & Isle of Dogs Residents
- www.streetlife.com now www.nextdoor.co.uk
- Local newspapers (see mentions in the press)
- & this website and emails (if you give me your email I will include you in a regular newsletter)
- Hand delivered letters - to deliver a letter to every single household in my ward (approximately 8,000) can take one person about four days effort so it is not something I can do very often
