Bideford Town Council - Manor Court Presentments 2011
This is a list of the presentments which were agreed by the Manor Court Jury on 19 March 2011 and which will be considered by the Staffing, Finance and General Purposes Committee over the next few months.
1. Ford Rock
Could the bushes be cut down and the area to be tidied and regularly maintained? We also request the reinstatement of a bench.
2. Entrance to Grenville Ridge.
We request the council to make a call to the relevant bodies to cut back the trees around the streetlight at the entrance to Grenville Ridge.
3. New Road
Can the land and property owners in New Road, from Ford House to Torridge Hill, and the lower part of Torridge Hill, be requested to generally tidy the overgrown areas and remove rubbish/waste in an effort to improve the visual appeal of the area. In addition we request a rubbish bin adjacent to the zig-zag path which enters Devonshire Park.
4. Pride in Bideford
We request the resurrection of the Town Council’s initiative ‘Pride in Bideford’ to facilitate the cleaning and general sprucing up of the town. With particular focus on the more frequent collection and emptying of street litter bins and dog bins including outlying areas. We also request the tree lights on Bideford Quay are maintained.
5. Road Gritting and bins
We request the Council to ensure that pavements in the town centre and the Quay are gritted as required. We also request that grit boxes are installed throughout the town.
