Hugh Jones & Ross Shepherd Councillors for Rossett

Pot holes

Street Scene have been filling in numerous potholes throughout the village. Many identified problem areas have now been addressed, particularly on some of the lanes around the ward. This work will continue ensuring roads are kept up to a satisfactory standard for all users.

Flooding issues

Street Scene officers have responded to the recent flooding on Rosemary Lane and are taking action to prevent further recurrence. Their immediate reaction was to pump out water and jet drains. However, more work needs to be done with improving water courses. In cooperation with landowners, a lot of work has been done to clean out ditches and gullies to reduce the impact of heavy and persistent rainfall. The potholes that appeared were rectified.

Road markings

Officers are in the process of repainting numerous markings around the village. This has already started on the main Chester to Wrexham road. This work will continue through the new year. The zig-zag lines outside the chemist have been repainted emphasising the fact that parking is prohibited on this area.

Speeding

We have received the initial results of the speed monitoring on Chester Road and Burton Road. The figures for Chester Road show that 88% of the 42,300 weekly traffic flow were exceeding the 20 mph limit. On Burton Road, just under 25% of the 6,300 weekly flow were exceeding the speed limit. This information will now be used to determine what action needs to be taken to reduce the speeding. We have asked for similar monitoring to take place in Trevalyn.

Dog fouling

This continues to be an issue within the county borough. Enforcement Officers visit Rossett, on a rota basis, and will continue to monitor the situation. Unfortunately a small proportion of dog owners have a complete disregard of the law and need to be deterred ensuring they clean up their mess.

Green bins

The green bin surcharge of £25 runs from the 1st September and ends on the 31st August each year. These dates remain the same for every resident regardless of when you pay the fee.

Fly tipping

Unfortunately, fly tipping is a problem in many areas of the county borough. Street Scene services have been contacted on numerous occasions to collect goods which have been dumped illegally in certain parts of the village.
