The hedge has been removed to improve sight lines because of complaints about anti-social behaviour in the bowling green area. It also reduces the hedge cutting costs by a small amount which has to be taken into account in these days of savage cuts to Council budgets. All other hedges will stay. We were not notified about the work on the border and the top path, which is excessive, and we are discussing with officers what plans there are to repair/improve/replant. Cllr Sheila Bailey Cllr Sheila Bailey Cllr Sheila Bailey Cllr Sheila Bailey said "Residents have complained about anti-social behaviour around the bowling greens and the Police have also had issues reported to them.

Rear PassagewaysRear PassagewaysRear PassagewaysRear Passageways It is anti-social to tip rubbish in rear passageways. Whenever this happens it means we all pay through our Council Tax to get it moved. These passageways were cleared by the Community Payback Team last year and look great. Hopefully they will stay clear.

"As a new candidate in Edgeley and Cheadle Heath I spent as much time as possible before Christmas getting to know local people and organisations in the Ward. I have been amazed at the level of community activity in the area and have been to events at St Matthew's Church (Irish Coffee was very nice), York Street Community Centre, the Rose Walker Community Centre and Friendly Fridays as well as the very successful Carols in Alexandra Park (where I attempted a short video of the event which is on our Facebook page)! I am really impressed with the interest in local parks and by the Alexandra Park Friends Group. I hope to set up a group for Cheadle Heath Park - details on the front of this Newsletter.
