What is a Ball-hillian?

 Well what’s a Ball-Hillian?

You may ask the question.

They`re one in a million!

They’ve helped with congestion.

They see you there with a quizzical look!

You are perplexed, as they clean up muck!

A number of teams are on various quests,

To serve Ball hill, to do their best,


A Ball-Hillian takes pride in where they live,

They give up time, they try to give.

Litter picking, surveys no time to chill

They keep areas clean up on Ball hill,

Environment aware, they’re a friendly bunch

A Ball-hillian cares thats the crunch!


Ball-hillians focus on air that we breath,

traffic is huge, verging on heave.

Too many cars, congestion is rife.

Affect our lungs, affect our life!

An Eco team tackle the causes,

Produce solutions,

but battle the Tories!


Earlsdon receives money in the pot.

Why can’t Ball Hill be given a shot?

Not much to ask, be a fairer approach,

For council to not pilfer, intrude and poach.


Parking’s an issue but that’s not strange.

Ball-hillians ideas are simple in range.

A walking bus for the Stoke Park kid.

To lower emissions and to get rid


Brilliant concepts been introduced, 

Reduction of the lines with `RED `routes.

Design of a rain garden has been born

only on paper though, nothings been sworn

Ball-hillians connect with the common people. 

to reach the  folk who show no  BULL!!

With people in mind to improve their lives 

Ballhillians march on with their strives.


Ballhillians  plights are in mid flow,

They help ball hill to thrive  and grow,

Raising issues, applying for grants

nowts been decided or rubber stamped!

Fingers are crossed for the future

Lets wait and see on the computer.
