Pothole in the middle of the road outside number 151
The FOCUS Team alerted the Council to the growing number of potholes they have seen in Cavendish Drive during a ward walk.
They are pleased to see that they have been swiftly listed for action. FOCUS will be monitoring progress.
Since polls closed last Thursday, more than 10,000 new members have joined the Liberal Democrats.
The surge continues as Liberal Democrats across the country have been fighting back and making the case for liberal values of freedom, liberty and change.
Liberal Democrat President Baroness Sal Brinton said:
Something quite extraordinary is happening across the country and our party membership has never grown faster. Events are taking place all over the country and we are delighted so many new people are joining the liberal fight back.
People were devastated by the results last week, but rather than sit back and lick their wounds, people have been invigorated and inspired.
They are coming together to rebuild a strong, Liberal Democrat party, showing that the politics of hope and tolerance can thrive in the face of the politics of grievance and fear.

An application has been lodged at the Town Hall to use the small kiosk, inside the station concourse as a minicab office.
Local traders in Church Lane are already concerned about the number of Gold Line cars waiting for passengers, and feel strongly that there is no justication in increasing the problem by granting permission for a second mini cab operator.

The extension to Davies Lane Primary School came into use earlier in March, when Reception and Year One pupils moved from the main building. This will allow further works to be carried out on the main site.
