Parking on the grass verges round West Park is causing considerable damage. Cllr Robin Lawrence has arranged for signs to be erected saying "NO PARKING ON VERGE". Robin said, "The grass verges add to the beauty of the Park and should not be churned up by tyre tracks."
Claire Darke and Councillor Robin Lawrence have both welcomed traffic calming plans for busy Larches Lane, Haden Hill and Clarendon Street. Liberal Democrats began consulting with residents on traffic calming in these streets in January 2006 and have been encouraging Wolverhampton Council to try to solve the traffic problems of the area ever since. Commenting on the proposals Park Ward Liberal Democrat candidate Claire Darke told Focus "I am very pleased that at long last there are plans for calming the traffic in this area. The Liberal Democrats have been right to call for such a scheme for so long. The roads are used far too often as rat-runs and speeding traffic is a dangerous nuisance for residents.'
A resident contacted Councillor Robin Lawrence to complain about flooding problems and he demanded an investigation from the City Council's Highways Division so as to put an end to the flooding nuisance. Thanks to these actions by Councillor Lawrence the Council has promised to repair the problem leaving the residents flood free.Claire Darke said "You can rely on Park Ward Liberal Democrats to take residents' concerns seriously and deal with problems swiftly. A resident of Sweetman Place had been promised action by the Tories twenty years ago but nothing happened.
