Residents living in the Alexandra Park area are being urged by local Lib Dem Councillor Wayne Hoban to come and contribute to the public meeting on the future of ‘the triangle’, a green space at the junction of Crescent Road and Place Gates Road. The meeting is to take place on the 24th April, at Handbag Café, 8 Crescent Road.

Alexandra Councillor and Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Cllr Hoban has written to residents to encourage them to join him at the meeting to discuss proposals made following a site meeting he had with Council officers in February.

A series of actions have already been agreed with Council officers including the removal of metal fixtures and litter, producing a plan of possible pants and seeds and clarifying ownership of the site, which is important before the Council commits itself to future significant work. However Cllr Hoban now wants residents’ suggestions on how to make it a real focal point for the area.

Cllr Hoban comments:

“The triangle has been an eyesore for far too long, when instead it could and should be an attractive part of our local community. This is why we are keen that residents have an opportunity to contribute to the debate over future plans for this site. The meeting in February was productive and a lot of positive ideas came out of the site visit. However we need to know what the residents want because they are the people who will be the beneficiaries of any improvements.”
