I have been approached over the last few months by many residents who wanted to see improvements to the Carmel Webb memorial garden on Scott Avenue.

The hedges and brambles were overgrown, which was not only untidy but also a security concern. There was also antisocial behaviour and littering in the garden.

I asked for the hedges and brambles to be cut back and this has now been done. The council have also installed a new litter bin at my request so this should hopefully reduce the littering problem – as long as people use the bin!

It is great to see this garden looking so good.
