Two bits of local news to report on for Holyrood Ward:

Heywood Court and Baguley Crescent Bins
Residents who live in the flats which use communal bins in Heywood Court and Baguley Crescent have had their bin day changed from Friday to Monday for the grey bins only.
Residents in one part of Heywood Court had experienced problems with bins being emptied, due to the narrow access for bin lorries.

Working with the residents Management Company the Council has agreed to use a slightly narrower bin lorry which will hopefully mean the bins can be regularly emptied. To enable this the work with other rounds the bin day has changed from Friday to Monday.

Yellow Lines Poppythorn Lane
In 2016 (following representations from us) yellow lines were introduced on Poppythorn Lane just south of the junction with Fairfax Road, because of the significant traffic problems on that junction.

At the time a gap was left (opposite the corner shop), but traffic management are now proposing to fill in that gap with further yellow lines because of the continuing traffic problems on that junction. We have not objected to this.
