Zahid Shah, the Liberal Democrat's Focus Team leader in St Peter's Ward, asked Cllr Robin Lawrence to join him on a brief walk round the ward.

Thieves have been stealing lead from roofs and above bay windows, and reports have come in over the last few days of theft in many parts of Elm Tree. Councillors Julia Roberts and Suzanne Fletcher are letting as many people know as possible, so that people can be extra vigilant and keep an eye open for anything looking suspicious connected with this. They are urging people to make contact with the Police straight away with details if they see anything.
