Is it really Christmas?
A merry Christmas to all of our readers and really happy New year? And that leaves the question about what you will be doing to make life better for others next year.
One thing that we can all do is to help the environment by ensuring that we recycle more of our waste and ensure that it does not go to landfill. If we do not do more our local Conservatives will push forward with their plans to build a new incinerator in the Former Avon area! A report from a recent meeting of the West of England Waste Partnership is attached.

We have also attached Bath & North East Somerset Councils Refuse and recycling collection times for the Christmas period.

Pleas also look out for each other over the festive season and try to make sure that our elderly are looked out for.

An exciting new venture for cyclists and walkers is now a reality. After being awarded £50 Million by the national lottery Sustrans the cycling pressure group will now be able to extend the national cycle network. The New routes will run along the Linear way through the heart of Westmoreland linking the rural areas of North East Somerset with the city of Bath. The Opening of the railway tunnels will make this a reality.
Well done to all who put pressure on to make this reality.

Land Rear of Cynthia Road / Mayfield Road
The attached document is the decision of the Planning Inspector for the Development of 5 houses behind Cynthia Road.
Residents will remember that your councillors along with many residents fought the planning application earlier this year.
The planning inspector overturned the Councils decision to refuse planning permission and has granted permission for the homes to be built.
Although we are unhappy that consent has been given we would draw your attention to the conditions on page 7 that may help a little with some of the concerns that were raised.

New Train Timetable from 9th December from Oldfield Park
A new train timetable has just been published by First Great Western that sees a few improvements from Oldfield Park. Although the peak hours services still need far more improvements we welcome the additional services and the rearranged services.
The Key Changes to the new timetable from Oldfield Park are:
An additional service to Gloucester, departs Oldfield Park at 09.17 and runs via Keynsham, Bristol Temple Meads, and arrives in Gloucester at 10.31 am.
The former 8.34 from Bristol Temple Meads to Swindon now runs earlier and leaves Oldfield Park at 8.20am.
A new service to Westbury leaves Oldfield Park at 09.23 and arrives at Westbury at 09.51 am.
If you need further information on the new timetables then log on to http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/.
