Lymore Garden Play Park

It is great to see work has started at the Lymore Gardens Park Play area to brighten it up.

As you can see, the surface has been replaced with fresh bark and the bushes have been cut back.

We are awaiting confirmation of when the large multi activity equipment can be replaced and are arranging a date for repainting of the swings and the bench.  We have also requested the small rocker toys are replaced.

Western Riverside Development Area, Midland Road, Twerton, Bath,

Weston Lock

We are pleased to see the tidying of the land outside of McDonald's with new fencing being erected grass and gravel put down.

We hope that this area will stay tidy.

On a further matter we are hearing that there are changes being made to the main retail unit PC World & Currys with a new retail outlook being proposed for half of the unit.

We will investigate this further and come back with a more detailed report in the next few weeks.

Former Herman Miller Site

Lidl have confirmed that they have instructed contractors to cut the grass at the Former Herman Miller site early next week.

It is important that we keep this site in a clean and tidy state whilst we are waiting for construction of the new Lidl store.

Some initial work has commenced, however, we are still awaiting confirmation of when the main works will be undertaken.

We will update you further as soon as more information is known.

Vernon Park

I have asked the council to look at bringing in Gull proof sacks to this road.

I have again reported the amount of mess left in this road, which was caused by birds attacking bags with food waste in them.

The council should have by now cleaned this road up but the situation can not be allowed to continue so I have also asked the council to investigate further what can be done to resolve this problem.

Claude Avenue / Bridge Road

We are pleased to confirm that work is scheduled to start on the ramp from the Linear Way up to Bridge Road/Claude Avenue from 2nd  June.

The delay in this work was to enable alternative options to be sought to reduce the number of lorries having to access the path via the St Kilda's Road entrance.

The work will take approximately 6 weeks and the path itself will be closed for approximately 4 weeks.  Diversions will be in place for cyclists during this period.

If you have any questions or would like any further information, please contact us.

Notice is given that Bath and North East Somerset Council in exercise of its powers under section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 intends to make an order the effect of which will be to temporarily suspend parking in that length of Brook Road, Bath extending from the party wall of Nos. 32 and 33 Brook Road to the party wall of Nos. 33 and 34 Brook Road. 

This order is required because works are being or are proposed to be executed on or near the road to facilitate a new gas supply to No 33 in the carriageway and will be operative on 27th May 2014 for a maximum period of two weeks. The road will only be restricted as and when traffic signs are in position and may not be effected for the whole of the period but only for so long as is necessary to execute the works. This is anticipated to be for three days.

Litter picking

Sarah and I spent a good few hours on Tuesday night clearing up litter on Brook Road, Lymore Ave

and Vernon Park.

All in all we collected several bags of litter from all of these roads and were surprised to find that Vernon Park was so bad after only clearing it up a week earlier.

A pattern that we are finding is that some people are putting food waste out in their black bag waste is concerning and we have taken this up with council officers.

We are out in Westmoreland on a regular Tuesday night speaking with residents and will soon be in a street near you if you have any concerns or worries then please speak to us.
