"That the Manager tackle the many problems along Whitechurch Road as requested by the Willbrook Lawn Residents Association listed below:
The following is a summary of what we found to be the situation: . The weeds are overgrown both at the roadside edge and along walls of all the footpaths. In fact the only area free of weeds is along the green area at the entrance to Willbrook Lawn, which the residents clear up regularly. . The footpath (which is very narrow) along The Millhouse is totally overgrown and inaccessible. . The Whitechurch River is overgrown with weeds and has become a dumping ground for rubbish. . Where overhang of shrubbery has been cut back, it has not been removed completely from the footpaths and as a result it is very dangerous walking along the footpath at certain areas, especially from the Ford Centre up to Whitecliffe. . The greenery at the edge of the road just before St. Gatien’s Court is an eyesore – full of weeds and rubbish."
