Update on our local roads, litter and fly-tipping

Road improvements There will be road works resurfacing the carriageway on Woodlands Avenue. This is being conducted by the local council on the 16th of February for 5 days. Local residents should be aware that there may be more congestion on our streets than usual during this time.

Litter, Rubbish and Fly-tipping Your local team have been working with residents to keep our area clean, with community litter picks around the Tyle Green Duck Pond, and the council’s weekly rubbish collection. If you have any issues or concerns with your rubbish, contact us and we can help. Fly-tipping has sadly increased recently, if you notice fly tipping around the area, also contact us so we can get this removed. Our contact details are below. Grant MacMaster litter picking around the Duck Pond, Tyle Gn. Julia Lopez MP This month I met head teachers from Sanders and Redden Court schools to see how I can help with building facility improvements and the challenges of the pandemic. I also met the new Principal of Havering Colleges, Janet Smith, who has taken over from Paul Wakeling. We are working together on our latest virtual Apprenticeships Fair and the government's skills agenda. At the end of January, the Prime Minister held a virtual Q&A with Upminster’s St Joseph’s Primary, and thanked teachers, carers and parents for their patience and hard work through lockdown. My team and I caught up with our Borough Police Commander, Stephen Clayman, to talk about law and order in the constituency. Efforts to recruit more officers as part of our manifesto pledge are going very well. Stephen has been instrumental in improving entry routes into the Met, including a new apprenticeship, and degree-holder detective and PC entries. If any constituent is interested in joining the Met, they will be presenting at our virtual jobs fair on 12 February. We also discussed work to tackle domestic violence, burglary, drug violence and gangs, intimidation of shop workers and more.
