Everette Berry, 55, nier automata costume of Walnut Hill was arrested after Escambia County deputies spent over an hour searching for him. There were men intimidating boys over drugs. Skateboarders are using Francis Street as a main thoroughfare and there is a lot of noise and pollution from lorries and cars, even on Sunday mornings. It was also reported there are problems in Francis Street with anti social behaviour (street drinking and drug dealing), the benches being used by drinkers and noise from delivery lorries servicing the Open Market at 6am some mornings - causing a huge noise issue for residents. Cllr West is to ask the Parks Dept and Police for statistics about anti social behaviour in the toilets (at the Level and Open Market).


Cllr West said something needed to be done to encourage people to put bins out. We have concerns about cyclists who have to move out of the way, except on the pavement. "I do think they take it on board but there’s a small minority who don’t. Penny added: "I do think there’s been some improvement. Cllr West added: "It definitely didn’t have anything to do with the planters (being in the road). Clarence Mitchell added: "Speed needs to be dealt with. Mike Hedgethorne called for a few community bins, eliminating the need for every house to have wheely bins. Read this passage together a few times and see if you can identify the rhythm in the passage. Let The Good Times Roll! Let us know what you think! Philip Wells said he didn’t think calming is optimum yet but consultants were looking at it along with communal bins. It think the presence of the benches acts as a magnet for this. Resolved to add the benches in Francis Street to the policing priorities on the Level. There was comment that bins are collected on Mondays but on Thursdays bins are still left out on the street. Planning wrote a blanket generic letter to 119 houses and flats in Viaduct Road on 19 February 2015 suggesting works be carried out to maintenance and redecoration of property.


We have now written to all the properties in Viaduct Road (including individual flats) and sent them a copy of the attached letter. Philip Wells reported LAT and the council had been working together to push for improvements to the look and layout of Viaduct Road. Philip Wells said the white lines (on Viaduct Road) and signage has improved the responsible movement of traffic. Mike Hedgethorne: If the planters were painted white they might stand out more. Penny King commented "It’s a prompt to people to look at what they might be responsible for. Penny King commented that speed cameras were only put where there are accidents, therefore there was no question of cameras at Preston Circus. Because of the gas works (at Preston Circus), the planters were moved (in to Viaduct Road) under delegated powers. But the planters simply appeared. A vote went in favour for the trial of planters to continue.


Concern raised about how long the trial will go on for. The next step will be to focus in on individual properties where the appearance is causing significant concern. Do we feel this is a step in the right direction? Cllr West added "Cllr Ian Davy has been very involved with the development, parking and dealing with the anti social behaviour problems in the street. " But Cllr West said competition is not a consideration in the planning process. Debate as to whether to approve or object to any possible planning application. Philip Wells reported he spoke to Wetherspoons’ area manager who assured him he would come to LAT to hear what people had to say if there was an application submitted to open in London Road. Noted no formal application from Wetherspoons to open in the former Co-op building, but reported are looking at the site. Further to our meeting on site and my attendance at the London Road LAT in January I am writing to give you an update on our actions. The average speed has reduced from over 30mph to an average of something over 20mph. He asked: "Is it doing what the meeting last time was hoping for?
