PACT Meeting

The next Pact meeting for the Westmoreland area will be held on 24th September at 7pm at Oldfield Park Baptist Church. All residents are welcome to attend and bring issues forward for discussion.

West Ave

We have reported the issues that have been raised by residents in West Ave & Ringwood Road concerning the mess that has been left behind on waste collection days to the council and asked that more care is taken to ensure that all of the waste is collected and none left behind on the Street after the final collection is made each day.
We realise that the new same day collection is pretty new for everybody but feel that it is essential for our residents that our area is clean and tidy at all times.

Former Herman Miller Building

We are expecting a further planning application from Lidl for this site in the next few weeks. This will then go out to further consultation before being returned to planning committee for determination.

Thank you June

Can we all thank June Player for her hard work in keeping the wonderful flower displays on both the Lower Bristol Road and at Oldfield Park Station. It is always good to see the flowers in our local area and the work that she carries out deserves some recognition.
June can often be seen keeping the flowers beds at the Station in great condition so if you see her working away just stop and say thank you as she is a volunteer with a huge community spirit.

Brambles again on Lower Bristol Road

We have asked that the Brambles on the lower Bristol Road near to Twerton Arch are cleared again. This is a problem every year that seems to get overlooked.

Thank You

Can we thank all the residents that spoke to us when we called on them on Friday 12th June in Ringwood Road,Millmead Road and West Ave. Many issues were raised and we will be in touch with those residents who raised specific items with us over the next week. If you were not home in these roads and want to talk to us them please get in touch.

Should this grass be tarmacked over

Many residents on this part of Lansdown view have asked that this area of grass pictured below be tarmacked over as they claim that it is only used as a dog toilet and is very muddy in the winter.

Cllr Sharon Ball at the area of Lansdown view being investigated
A consultation letter will be sent to all affected houses over the next week.
