 Tom Simpson, Secretary, Sandyford and Goldenhill Residents’ Association 5 million pounds is to be spent by Stoke on Trent City Council to repair back street pavements and roads. It is said the council will be employing extra staff to carry out the much needed work. Unfortunately at this time of year when the weather deteriorates with snow and ice, it is a certainty the streets and pavements behind the main roads will get increasingly worse. Residents have welcomed the announcement and are looking forward to seeing some of this money being spent in Sandyford and Goldenhill.

Young offenders and the staffing team were asked by S.A.G.E. to do copious amounts of groundwork to remove shrubbery and weeds that were growing out of control and making the area look a mess.  Close up of completed work After many weeks of hard working, McDonald’s promptly arranged to have the plot turfed with grass, which was completed at the weekend. This has been a project where residents, business and young offenders have all come together to better the area we live in, and well done to everyone concerned, especially giving a big thank you to the young people and staff from the youth offending service for making this happen. Police in Stoke-on-Trent have launched an investigation after a house was damaged in a targeted attack in the early hours on Thursday morning. Residents in Broadfield Rd, Sandyford were awoken by noise of a stolen lorry being used to repeatedly ram into a house on the street at around 1:35 am this morning (5 November 2015). Witnesses and CCTV coverage says the stolen vehicle repeatedly rammed into the property before making off. A number of vehicles in the street were also damaged. The stolen lorry was found within a few minutes in Cotton Road and a forensic examination of the lorry and the house will take place this morning. It is believed that those involved made off in other vehicles immediately after the incident and none of the occupants of the house have reported any injury. Chief Inspector Adrian Roberts, Commander of the Stoke North Local Policing Team said “This was a very targeted attack, we believe the house and it’s occupants were specifically targeted as part of an ongoing dispute. Sadly this isn’t the first type of incident in this area and a detailed investigation is now underway. I urge anyone with information to speak to the police or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. My local policing team will be conducting highly visible patrols in the area to speak to local residents.” Anyone with information is urged to call Staffordshire Police on 101 quoting incident 34 of 5th November.

For a long time pictured right has been an area on Sandyford High Street adjoining McDonald’s, which has been allowed to vegetate weeds as well as out of control shrubbery that residents wanted removed. Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association contacted the “Youth Offending Service” to ask if they could help to make the area good, which they did. On Saturday mornings and afternoons the team has been working hard to improve the look of the area, and once completed McDonald’s have agreed to have the area turfed with grass as well as new fencing to match the rest of the site. A big thank you to the Youth Offending Team, keep up the good work.
