Following complaints from local residents about problems of workers from nearby businesses parking inconsiderately in The Cannons and Leary Crescent, Newport Pagnell I carried out site visits with both the police and Council officers.   It has taken about three years in total, but a residents parking scheme is now in place.

  My Lib Dem Focus Team colleagues and I have been reporting all the potholes residents have let us know about, but I escalated the worst two roads to the director responsible, as they were so bad.   Good new!
