Communal Bin Consultation – Update on questionnaire and meetings
The Council has today circulated a letter to all residents confirming that the date for return of the consultation questionnaire has been extended until Sunday, 18th September.

Spot the difference! … call 101 to keep our gardens safe
To prevent a repeat of this, you need to call 101 or fill out the Sussex Police online form to report it.

To do this they are often using the ‘Trade button’ on the intercom as they have discovered that in many cases it…
Rubbish & recycling consultation request from cityclean
We had some discussions a while ago about the pros and cons of bins in our cellars or the larger communal bins in our area. There was heated debate and it was left unresolved. We have now had a recent note from Ollie our local Green councillor, from the council department overseeing CityClean – ‘the binmen’.
Anti-social behaviour – update
We held a meeting specifically to address the anti-social behaviour over the summer months in Adelaide and Palmeira Gardens. Despite just a few days notice, around 30 FOPA members arrived for the meeting just before the bank holiday, signalling the strength of feeling about this issue, and representing the full cross-section of residents living in…
Noise and disturbances – phone 101 immediately
The ongoing disturbances over the summer from youths in the gardens seems to be taken seriously after several complaints and discussions from FOPA representatives at our Brunswick & Adelaide LAT (local action team) meetings. Our local councillor Ollie Sykes emailed the following report 18 July 2014.
