Looks like a full and interesting agenda Michael.

I will be away, unfortunately, but I'd like to propose a small and relatively inexpensive improvement to the gateway of Dartmouth Road's shops, pools and library etc, which I believe could be quite effective.

   

At present I think it looks quite dark and uninviting when you glance it from the main junction; mainly due to the bottle-neck at Bunka and the grimey brickwork above the shops.

I'd like to see the brickwork on the first few shops (at least) cleaned and brightened-up and Robert Stanfords' old sign above Bunka utilised (a la the new Kirkdake High Street signage) to promote the road's offerings and to coincide with the £650,000 worth of pavement and road improvements that are being done over the next 2 years.
