March 2023 - with Kate Salmon and Joe Salmon Dog fouling in Moordown: Local residents fed up... but Council too broke to boost enforcement Thank you to Kate Salmon's 320 Moordown survey respondents - various issues passed on to Council Can Kate help with local issues? DOG FOULING IN MOORDOWN: LOCAL RESIDENTS FED UP... BUT COUNCIL TOO BROKE TO BOOST ENFORCEMENT Hard-working local campaigner Kate Salmon says: "Over the last year and a half, I've had conversations with hundreds of Moordown residents about some of the issues that matter most to them in our local community. "And something that comes up time and again, is the worrying increase in the amount of dog fouling on our local streets." Local campaigner Joe Salmon adds: "This is a serious issue. So we've contacted the Council on multiple occasions about this. One thing they were considering was the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order. This would really help the Council be able to properly enforce preventative measures. However, action on this seems to have stalled due to budget pressures." Conservative-run BCP Council has been forced into £35.1m of budget cuts for 2023/24 - plus the maximum Council Tax rise. Kate says: "I've also suggested to the Council that they consider a public information campaign to raise awareness of this issue. And they have said that they will take that forward for consideration at this time." THANK YOU TO KATE SALMON'S 320 MOORDOWN SURVEY RESPONDENTS Kate Salmon says: "I'd like to say a really big thank you to the 320 households in #Moordown who completed our resident survey over the last year. "You've raised a lot of important issues, and let me know what matters most to you in our local community. "I've been able to take action on a number of things, reporting incidents of fly-tipping and potholes, and helping people to access vital Council services." Kate has reported fly-tipping in Ripon Road, Hillcrest Close and at the former pub car park on Wimborne Road. Kate has reported potholes on Malvern Road, Gresham Road, Castle Road and Wimborne Road. CAN KATE HELP WITH LOCAL ISSUES? Hard-working local campaigner Kate Salmon says: "If you'd like to talk to me about any local issues or any concerns you have, or if there's anything that I can do to help, then please do get in touch with me."   / katesalmongreen   kate.salmon@bcp.greenparty.org.uk 07764 212765 Kate adds: "If you'd like to see me in person, I come to Moordown Community Centre on the third Saturday of every month from 10am till 11am, and I'm in the cafe area for you to drop in for a chat."
