While these were the main priorities from the meeting at the Community Forum meeting residents also received a presentation by Coventry and Warwickshire partnership Trust to encourage residents to become members of the trust. They also voiced a number of other concerns including various issues with road signs; parking at schools and publicity of forums and residents details have now been taken and added to the circulation list. Dog fouling on the Conway Estate was also highlighted and the District Councils Dog Warden has been asked to monitor the situation and update at the next meeting.
