Intouch with Bartley Green

14/09/2026

Two more LED light columns left on 24/7. They were recently changed to LED, but they never switch off, even during daylight hours. Another waste of money. We've reported the issue to Kier, so hopefully they'll get it sorted and ensure the lights are switched off during the day.

More fly-tipping was removed today!
Would you walk out of your own front door and be happy to look at this? Would you invite family and friends round and be proud to have them see this mess? NO, of course you wouldn’t.
So please, stop doing it. There is NO excuse for fly-tipping. It’s selfish, inconsiderate and just plain lazy.
People shouldn’t have to live with this outside their homes, and the people who do the right thing shouldn’t have to keep paying the price for those who don’t. Have some respect for your community and stop dumping your rubbish!

Out and about today with the HLB. We have reported a section of trip rail that has been removed and needs replacing to prevent vehicles from driving across the grass. This has been reported a number of times previously, but unfortunately the job has never been completed.
We will keep asking and chasing this up until the work is completed.
