A statement from Cllr Angela McClements


Parking spaces at Kingsland 

The parking spaces at Kingsland and Kingsway Crescent were requested by residents a couple of years ago and there was a consensus amongst those residents for the work to be done.  On both these islands the road is very narrow and cars could not get past if a car was parked on the road and they had to go onto the grass to get around.  



The John Broad Avenue was looked into a few years ago and I did knock on residents doors to see if they would like parking spaces.  Unfortunately, at that time a number of residents did not want to see any parking spaces and wanted to the green to be left.  Indeed a few were very angry that there was a possibility of the green being lost to parking bays.  

However in view of the concerns raised recently we are now looking into it again and hopefully there will be an opportunity to consult those residents who live in the properties around the green again to see if a consensus can be reached on potential parking bays.  We will be suggesting that not all the green would necessarily be taken up by parking bays so that may be a helpful message when the Council consults to get agreement

We thought we would launch our very own competition to find Arleston's "Best Neighbour 2021" to coincide with "Neighbourhood Watch Week" We launched the competition via our social media channels and asked for residents to send in their nominations to us via our Facebook page. Entrants had to name who they wanted to nominate and why their neighbour should be named as "Best Neighbour". We received several nominations, which was fantastic!  We were pleasantly surprised by some of the reasons as to why nominee's had been nominated. It felt great to be launching such a lovely competition after such a difficult year that we have all been through. First nomination  Our first nomination was received by Claire Goonan who wanted to nominate Sarah Jayne Davies as "Best Neighbour". Claire's reasons for nominating Sarah were as follows: Hi I would like to nominate Sarah Davies for the best neighbour award. She is always happy to help out any one. ...

Meet our local councillor - Angela McClements

Hello Arleston Neighbourhood Scheme Members.   I thought I would introduce myself to you as the Borough Councillor for Arleston Ward.  I am proud of my Arleston roots and strongly believe in community pride and ensuring that the community work together on issues that are important to them.  Since being elected in 2007 I have worked hard across the ward, holding regular weekly surgeries at the Community Centre and have taken up hundreds of local issues right across Arleston.   I am delighted that a Neighbourhood Watch Group has been set up in Arleston recently and look forward to working alongside the Group and the local Arleston Police Team in tackling the issues that residents are concerned about.  I know that there are many residents who are concerned about anti-social behaviour and want to live in a strong, safe and friendly community.  That’s why a Neighbourhood Watch Group is important to reduce the fear of crime, improving home security an...
