Words by Cllr Ray Goodwin
As Councillor for Castle Vale, I’ve been proud to lead efforts that are making a real difference in our community. One of the most visible changes is the regeneration of local play areas—turning tired, underused spaces into vibrant, safe places where children and families can come together.
These improvements aren’t just cosmetic; they’re about creating opportunities for play, connection, and pride in Castle Vale.
I have also taken strong action against fly-tipping, which has long been a concern for residents. Through targeted clean-up operations, better reporting systems, and community engagement, we’re tackling the issue head-on.
It’s about restoring respect for our shared spaces and making Castle Vale a cleaner, more welcoming place for everyone.
But none of this would be possible without the incredible volunteers who give their time and energy to support these efforts. From litter picks to helping with play area projects, their commitment is inspiring.
They are the heartbeat of Castle Vale – proof that when we work together, we can achieve great things.
I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, and even more excited about what’s ahead. Castle Vale is a community full of potential, and together, we’re building a brighter, cleaner, and more connected future.
I have promised to always put Castle Vale first which is what I will always do.

As a local counsellor Ray Goodwin, I think you’re doing a great job but your party / government are letting you down , they are a shambles and I am really angry with what’s going on .at the moment .
Thank you for all you do for the residents and the estate. You deal with all issues to the best of your ability.
