Street lighting in Gransmoor Avenue

Due to community safety concerns in Gransmoor Avenue, street lighting has been added. Before, there was no illumination at night. This project is part of the safer community initiative, which helps improve safety and cleanliness in the area.

Sandywell Millennium Green

Two new goalposts with astro turf goalmouths have been installed at Sandywell Millennium Green. A brand-new picnic bench with a plinth has been ordered, and we are waiting for a delivery date for installation. This project is part of the initiative to improve play areas and enhance our parks and green spaces.
