I have been ask to give a shout out on behalf of a Bretton resident. The person is a cancer patient with nobody to rely on. She has a small conditioning unit which needs a 150mm hole in the wall to allow the unit vent.

Is there anybody out that has a 150mm core drill and would be willing to drill a hole in the wall?

Please message me privately if you are able to help.

On Saturday I met with Cllr Zameer Ali, Cabinet Member for Communities and Community Safety to discuss ways in which we can improve public safety in Bretton Park. We will be pushing for the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order. This will give the police and the enforcement team more powers to deal with anti social behaviour, unauthorised gatherings offroad motorcycles and e-scooters etc.

Earlier today, I spoke to the mother of the Bretton lad who was attacked on the railway bridge.
Following this, I contacted the police to seek assurance that this crime is receiving their full attention as nobody should every have to go through sort of experience.
On Saturday, I will be walking the area with the portfolio holder for communities, who's remit covers community safety, to look at what improvements can be made.

I am posting this information with parents permission.
