Last night I was at another Parish Council meeting. As each meeting goes by we are attracting more and more local residents, which is fantastic. People are beginning to understand how the Parish can help improves lives in the local area. There is still much to do, but we are making progress at a good rate.
The main focus at the meeting was getting a Home Watch scheme organised, with the help of Greater Manchester Police. Residents seemed keen to get this set up and help protect there properties. The nature of Ringway means that neighbours are often few and far between, so we all need to work together to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.
The other main focus of the meeting was the dispute over which division of Greater Manchester Police covered the Parish. This may not seem very important, but the Wythenshawe division that has now been assigned to the parish have to travel through the Ringway division to get to the parish! Our aim is to reduce call out waiting time and to make sure at least one division responds to calls.
The meeting also covered a few other issues residents raised. As the Clerk of the Parish, it’s very interesting and rewarding to have a central role within this ‘new’ Parish Council.
