Charville Lane and Grosvenor Avenue Residents Association Launched

Local MP John McDonnell and local Labour Councillor Peter Curling yesterday (3rd October) convened a public meeting for local residents to launch the Charville Lane and Grosvenor Avenue Residents Association at the Charville Community Centre.

Local residents have been pressing for action by the council to tackle local environmental issues such as fly tipping and blocked drains, in addition to speeding traffic and road safety concerns. In July John McDonnell MP and Councillor Curling undertook a walkabout with local residents and local Police officers to inspect the local area. Strong concerns were expressed at the lack of response from the local council. It was agreed at that stage to attempt to form an association to take forward their plans to improve the local area.

John and Peter convened the public meeting in order to establish the new association.

Local MP John McDonnell said “This association will give local people a strong voice to raise local concerns and to press for action to improve their local community.”

Councillor Curling commented “There is a strong sense of community in this area of Hayes and people want to see their concerns about the local environment addressed by the council. The association has been formed to enable us to work together consistently to improve the quality of life of local residents.”
