John’s bridge safety campaign continues.
On 12th October we showed a picture of LABOUR’s Cllr John Salter at the newly raised fence over a motorway bridge near St Joseph’s. The safety fence was built following John’s presentation of a petition to Merseytravel, on behalf of residents.
Strange to say, an 
almost exactly similar picture was published in the press shortly after with a ‘defected’ Councillor standing in the same spot and claiming the credit!
‘Cheekie chappie?’
Meanwhile John is already busy continuing his campaign, on behalf of residents of all parts of our ward, as the letter below shows.
Let’s hope Merseytravel will be able to make similar safety improvements on all of the other bridges.
We will keep you informed.
Protecting our environment
There has been a great clean up operation in Percy Road. Cllr John Salter is seen here with the Team. One delighted resident told John:
"We are really pleased about this clean up operation. There are still one or two blackspots but we all hope this initiative will be encouraging to everybody."
Several other residents commented favourably on the excellent work being done with young people in particular to deal with anti-social behaviour.
The Team removed just about everything they could, including some very small items as well as the obvious things. Many residents made a point of coming over to say a big ‘thank you’ to the team for their work.
Meanwhile, a lady walking her dog drew John’s attention to a couple of sources of smelly water, one of which seemed to have an oily substance in it. (See small photographs.)
John reported these to our Environmental Health Officers.
Do let us know if you spot any other sources of possible environmental concerns.
