What a fantastic PACT (Police & Communities Together) meeting tonight at St Crispin's Church.

Thank you to the residents who attended to share their views - and to the Fallowfield police team at GMP for listening.

👮‍♀️The key message from GMP is that they are open for business!

They want to hear from you - and they have the resources to act on intelligence and bring down crime.

Thank you to the Labour Government's investment, we have 4 new Police Officers solely dedicated to Fallowfield!

I will share the details of our Neighbourhood Policing Team shortly and how to contact them - but in the meantime please do keep reporting any issues to 101 (or 999 in an emergency).

I attended the Braemar & Brailsford Residents (BMBB) meeting this evening in the square, which we have allocated a large sum of money to regenerate!

It was lovely to see the residents, and I have already actioned a number of their priorities including:

- Biffa to complete all missed collections ASAP
- Alleyway contractor, Redgate to do a cleanse of all the alleyways
- Double yellow lines to be refreshed on Belvedere
- The Braemar car park to be resurfaced
- Grounds maintenance to cut back these unruly trees and bushes

I am working hard to raise standards whilst we wait for the longer-term regeneration to take shape 💙

Both Fallowfield Labour Councillors Jade and Ghazala have been at The Place at Platt Lane today supporting the community who have been evacuated from Abram Close and Rostherne Avenue following a second suspicious item.

Huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers at The Place who opened up the doors for the second time in less than 24 hours to provide tea, coffee and shelter.

Thankfully everybody is safe, and we remain on site with Council Staff to liaise with GMP, share updates with residents and provide reassurance.

We are beyond lucky to have the Place, it has been a real lifesaver for the community.

If anybody has an questions or concerns, we are asking people to look at GMP's social media or contact us Councillors:

Following on from our visit to Wilbraham Primary School, Cllr Jade and Cllr Ghazala met with the new Executive Member for Highways to raise the pupils' concerns about getting to school safely.

Ghazala identified a funding opportunity, and we are thrilled to confirm that a new Lollipop Person, Oyay, is now in post!

We have had really positive feedback from Princpal Mr Marchant and parents.

There is more to come with a School Streets day arranged for the 18th June.

Fallowfield Labour Councillors are here all year round to listen to your concerns and deliver results!

Great news that the Fallowfield District Centre Plan has secured a Government Grant - well done to Jade, Ghazala (and Ali) for getting the process started and for residents for all their hard work putting together a plan

📢 GOOD NEWS - Fallowfield District Centre Plan gets Government funding from the Economic Development Regeneration Flexible Grant (formerly UKSPF) funds!

We also secured Council Public Realm funding recently too.

This is fantastic news for the District Centre plan which local residents, students and traders have been working hard to develop for over a year.

It means we have funding to support the plans and priorities to make Fallowfield Brow and Wilmslow Road safer, cleaner, and nicer for all you all.

Huge well done to our residents who have shaped this plan, and I'm so proud that Fallowfield Labour Councillors pushed for this process to start two years ago.

Exciting times for Fallowfield 💙

🚦School Streets

It was fantastic to meet Mr Marchant from Wilbraham Primary to talk about road safety and School Streets.

It was also so lovely to hear thoughts on road safety from the year 5's and 6's - they had some fantastic ideas on what will make the roads safer for them getting to School.

We have something planned for clean air day on the 18th June - so watch this space 🚧🚸

Platt Fields Park updates 📢

The Friends of Platt Fields Park came up with a number of suggestions for our park at their last meeting in April.

Me and Ghazala are working with our MP Afzal Khan and Moss Side Labour Councillors to make these suggestions happen, starting with connecting the group with local housing providers to discuss food growing projects on their land, and picking up talks about the safety of the Platt Lane entrance.

We will keep you all updated as things progress 🌳

Birthday Stars is a fantastic project set up by Jess from Fallowfield.

It gives children in temporary accomodation some much-needed joy with a free Birthday Party.

They provide entertainment, cake, a buffet and a chance for parents to make their children happy during such a difficult time.

If you can kindly support the project please see the poster below ❤️
