For several months Raglan Housing’s Taskforce has been working to improve the Vespasian Road and Roman Way areas managed by the housing association. I was privileged to be invited to contribute at the start of this project and have been in regular contact with Raglan Housing officers since then.

The project is beginning to have a real improvement on the area and there is now an active residents association to represent local views and take the project forward. Details of local activities and services are available on a newly erected notice board on Vespasian Road. My congratulations to Matthew and everyone at Raglan for the work done.

Thank you also to the residents association committee for the warm welcome they gave me to their AGM last Thursday. I look forward to working with Alan and the rest of the committee over the coming year.
