📢 Report Local Issues Quickly and Easily 📢

Did you know that residents can report a wide range of local issues directly to Wakefield Council using the FixMyStreet app and their website?

If you spot a problem in the parish, such as potholes, damaged pavements, street lighting faults, fly-tipping, or other local concerns, simply take a photo and submit a report. The app will automatically identify the location, making it quick and easy for the issue to be logged and investigated.

Residents can also use their Wakefield Council My Account to report matters such as overgrown footpaths, highways issues, and other council-related concerns.

By reporting issues directly, you can help ensure they are brought to the attention of the relevant team as quickly as possible.

Thank you for helping to keep our parish safe, clean, and well maintained.

Report, view, and discuss local street-related problems.

📢 Footpath Maintenance Update 📢

The Parish Council is becoming increasingly aware of a number of footpaths that are currently very overgrown, particularly in the Middlestown area.

We understand the concerns this is causing for residents and would like to reassure everyone that these issues have been reported to Wakefield Council. Inspections have now been carried out, and the necessary work has been added to their schedule of maintenance works.

We will continue to monitor the situation and liaise with Wakefield Council to ensure the work is completed as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to report any issues to us. 🌿🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Good afternoon.

Middlestown Cemetery isn't for exercising your dogs , it's a place of rest and peace and for families to visit their loved ones. We have absolutely no problem you taking your dogs on a lead through the Cemetery or to visit a loved ones grave, but we will not tolerate exercising of dogs on consecrated ground.
We have had reports of numerous piles of dog poo being left on the grass, this is not acceptable and there is certainly no excuses for not picking it up.
Please respect the Cemetery and pick up after your dogs.
Thank you

🐕 Important Request to Dog Owners 🐕

Please can all dog owners keep their dogs on leads whilst in Middlestown Cemetery.

We have received reports of dog fouling on memorial headstones, which is completely unacceptable. 💩

The cemetery is a place of remembrance and reflection for many families. We ask that all visitors show respect for the graves and memorials of loved ones. ❤️

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

📢 Have Your Say – New Benches for Overton & Middlestown 📢

The Parish Council is looking at possible locations for new public benches in Overton and Middlestown and would like to hear residents' views.

The initial suggested locations are:

🪑 Bottom of Green Lane (on the grassed area)🪑 Bottom of Ramsey Road🪑 Bottom of Footpath 24 / Bridleway New Hall

Do you support any of these locations? Are there other places where you think a bench would be beneficial for walkers, residents, or visitors?

We would welcome your suggestions and comments. Please let us know where you think benches would be most useful and why.

Thank you for helping us improve our local community spaces.
