NEW FENCING FOR BURFORD PLAYING FIELDS


The Kingstanding Neighbourhood Police Initiative have for years been calling for improved boundary fencing on the Burford Road Playing field.
Now thanks to the efforts of Councillor Keith Linnecor and his 2 Ward colleagues Barbara Dring and Grahame Green, the replacing of old fencing on the Burford Road Playing Field ( Kingstanding Road side) has taken a step in the right direction. Funding has been identified and measurements for the new fencing taken.
Brian Brookes Senior Coordinator NPI said. "Councillor Linnecor and I turned up on site on a wet day to help ensure the Council officers fully understood how important this new fencing will be. They have now taken the necessary measurements and will soon be pricing the much needed fencing"

BLACK COUNTRY MUSEUM DAY OUT WENT WELL











Our trip to the Black Country museum was voted a great success by all those who went there.
Despite the rain and a few teething problems with the eclectic scooter every really enjoyed them selves and Nigel Quinn, George Hough and Councillor Keith Linnecor really did a good job organising the day trip.
George Said " I was so pleased that every one had a good time. For some their lack of mobility can be a real problem but the new fold up scooters and wheel chair did really well for them.
Some of those who went even ventured into the mine for a look around and the old shops and streets really reminded us of the old days".
"Nigel said I was very pleased that the day went so well it was good that both disabled residents and their careers had a good day out, they deserved it." Keith said I was pleased to be able to help those who went on this trip, have a good day it was tiring, but worth while."
