NO ENTRY SIGN BLOCKED BY TREE

Cllr Sharon Ball has asked that the tree that is blocking the NO ENTRY sign at the Triangle is cut down before another car goes the wrong way down this street.
We would hope that this work would be carried out ASAP.
 

Litter Pick 26th June

We have organised a litter pick in the Lansdown View Estate to take place on Saturday 26th June at 2pm.

We hope that many local residents will come out and join us on this litter pick and we hope that it will go some way to put some pride back into this area.

The meeting place for the litter place will be the Corner of Shophouse Road and Twerton High Street.

Children and Adults very welcome.

Both Cllrs have attended meetings with planners and Lidl and feel that significant progress has now bee made to progress this scheme.
Cllr Ball said: “I am pleased that we have been able to achieve the progress that we have and feel that there is now little to prevent this development taking place”.


Funding for local groups

Cllr Lynda Hedges has used the discretionary grant money available to her to spend in Westmoreland to benefit two local groups and Charities.
A donation has been made to On Board to help them carry out the good work that they have been doing at Oldfield Park Station.
Shape Housing at Dartmouth Ave have also received funds for the the purchase of Computer equipment to help the Homeless find permanent accommodation and apply for Jobs.
Cllr Hedges said: “I feel that I have been able to strike a good balance for the community in helping these local groups”.

 

Bellotts Road

Cllr Sharon Ball has persuaded Council officers to put down new white keep Clear lines on the Corner of Bellotts Road close to the area that leads to the rear of the Royal Oak Public House. The reason for these lines has been due to some very bad parking that has lead to parked cars being hit by traffic trying to squeeze through a narrow gap.
 

Claude Ave Bridge

Cllr Sharon Ball has asked Bath & North East Somerset Council to clear away the overgrowth coming from the Linear Way. Sharon had received complaints from residents that were finding the path on the bridge difficult to navigate due to overhanging vegetation.
