On Thursday, local Lib Dem Councillors Glyn and Irene Nightingale once again took part in a "patch walk" with local police officers and representatives of Coast & Country Housing and the Fire Service.
We found a whole load instances of graffiti, fly-tipping and damaged roads signs. There was widespread litter all over the area which Coast & Country are responsible for. But surprisingly, they have no schedule for clearing up.
It's not the first time that we've had to report these sort of problems on the estate to Council officials to seek their urgent attention to sort things out. But we've reported the problems again to them and we'll be checking to see if they are sorted out soon.
The Allendale Shopping Centre is full of graffiti. It's a long standing eyesore that local people say they are fed up with. Police officers want CCTV cameras installed. We have raised the possibility with Council officials.
One of the problems on the estate is the patchwork of land ownership between the Council and Coast & Country Housing. It's time they really got together to do a better job for residents.
We'll keep you in touch with developments.
