Current issues
Residents living along Park Hall Road between Springvale Ave and Lake Avenue have expressed concerns regarding the presence of a site compound on the grass verge immediately opposite their properties.This compound is being used to store materials and also to reduce the distance travelled to the site compound at Aston University Sports Ground.The area will be restored to its original form and the Council will investigate the possibility of providing additional trees and further landscaping enhancements at this location.
The Council extends sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
