  PARKING on our pavements is a trend which drivers seem to think is their right.

Why were households left stranded with no way to get out safely – elderly left helpless and alone, cars left abandoned and stranded in the icy snow? Cllr Ansell stated that they went on expert data and forecast, so can he tell me why other local authorities had their teams out? Didn't...

  "FAILINGS" in the way Walsall Council handled a planning application have been criticised by a government official. The Local Government Ombudsman, Dr Jane Martin, found the local authority mishandled a planning application for a tyre and exhaust centre in Walsall. The ombudsman also criticised the speed at which the council acted to rectify unauthorised development on some of its own land, as well as posing whether some...

  COMMUNITY-minded individuals are being invited to sign up as street champions in Walsall. The volunteering network, which acts as the 'eyes and ears' of the general public and report matters such as fly-tipping, graffiti, antisocial behaviour and crime to Walsall Council, police and other agencies, is looking to bolster its ranks in the town.
