Concerns about the recent consultation on the controlled parking zone (CPZ) came up on Saturday. The vast majority were against the idea, as in much of the ward parking is not an issue, so it is seen as an additional expense with no benefit. It does appear that the Green Councillors who requested the consultation misjudged the views of local people across the ward.
Cycling safety was also mentioned - meaning the way in which cyclists ride being unsafe - cycling on pavements being a danger to pedestrians for example. But there was also the recognition that some roads just aren't safe enough for cycling, so it's no wonder they are resorting to pavements some of the time.
There are concerns about drug dealing and late licences, and also supermarkets selling cheap alcohol adding to the city's substance abuse problems.
And of course serious worries about the impact that budget cuts will have on services helping the most vulnerable in the city.
We will pass on feedback where we can, and get back to people who took the time to share their views.
