Oldfield Park Railway Station

Storm drain before clearance

Councillor Sharon Ball and I met with representatives from Network Rail recently to discuss a number of issues along the area of track that runs from the bridge at Brougham Hayes through to Twerton.

Following our meeting we are pleased to see the storm drain that comes out  to the West of Oldfield Park Railway Station has been cleared of the large amount of rubbish that has been thrown over the fence.

Rubbish now removed

The hedge that has been overhanging the pathway on this stretch of the railway for a number of weeks has been cleared back to make the area brighter and cleaner.

We have also discussed having the fencing around this area raised to help prevent people being able to throw the rubbish over and blocking this drain.  We are awaiting confirmation of a date for when this can be carried out.

We will confirm as soon as we have progress on the other works we have requested.
