Latest tour of estates by Halton Housing Trust and Ward Councillors.  (March, 2010)

As Kevan Wainwright and Paul Nolan had work commitments, Hough Green councillor Phil Harris represented the ward on the joint tour of the Afton, Arley Drive, Alt & Aire estates on March 18th. A number of useful issues were identified, some that are long standing. The improvements to the flat areas in Arley Drive are making progress but still need the fencing and other access issues addressing.

As with the recent tour of the Bechers estate, the environmental improvements programme of the Trust that commences next year is going to be a major factor in improving the quality of life for many households in the area. Ward councillors are continuing to press the issues raised with us by residents, with the Trust. It was good to see Ann McFarlane one of the Trust's tenant reps present at the tour of the estates on March 18th.
