Woodhouse Park

The project in Sunbank Woods to repair the culvert and restore access has now started. We expect it to be finished by mid January 2025. This is our main access for machinery. It will enable us to continue works to maintain and improve Sunbank Woods.

Road safety school signs

Road safety signs have been installed at the following locations to improve safety during pick-up and drop-off times:

• Ringway – 5 signs
• Willows Primary – 5 signs

This project aims to improve school safety and traffic management in these areas.

CCTV camera installation

A CCTV camera has been installed as part of the Forum's network. The camera will overlook the benches outside the tram stop to help reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and littering in the area.
