Bus Shelters and Recycling bins

It is good to see the new bus shelters going in along the Lower Bristol Road. These are much better that the previous ones and all have seats.

We have arranged to complemement these arranged to have a new litter bin and two recycling bins placed by the bus stop outside of the former Herman Miller building.

This we hope will help keep down the litter in the area.

Former Unigate yard Rosebery Place

We are led to believe that there are proposals being worked up for a planning application for the former Unigate yard that has been left abandoned at Rosebery place on the Lower Bristol Road.

It seems that after a lull in activity, there is suddenly a lot of interest in all properties along the lower Bristol Road, we are not sure what the latest proposals are for this yard but we will publish details as soon as they are available.

The over riding issue is that it is better that this land is used than left abandoned as it has been.

New Toucan Crossing operational

The new Toucan crossing on the Lower Bristol Road opposite the former Herman Miller Building is now fully operational and allows both pedestrians an cyclists to cross the Lower Bristol Road in relative safety.

The installation of the new crossing has also included works to make several shared footpaths for both pedestrians and cyclists linking the Linear way to the Riverside Cycle route.

We will monitor the new crossing to ensure that it is being correctly used and also that the shared footpath is not being abused.

Bath Press Site

We understand that there are movements on the Former Bath Press site and that further
announcements will be made about what sort of development is proposed in the near future.

We made it very clear at the time that we thought the the proposed development of the Tesco store and its size was far too big for the area and it seems that the Government inspector agreed with us.

The Councils Core strategy has 100 houses allocated on this site and this must form part of any new application.

We believe that the site is quite capable of taking this amount of housing as well as business units and may be even a small store.

The information will be out in the next few weeks but by the information that we are receiving we do not think we are far off the mark with any new planning application for this site.

We will publish any further information as soon as we have it.

Bellotts Road (Linear Way)

We are pleased to see the  completion of the Linear Way at the bottom of Bellotts Road that with the new bridge at the top of Bellotts Road make this route complete.

We will be watching however to ensure that this route is safely used and have agreement that speed with be monitored.

This will hopefully reduce the impact of Cyclists on the very Narrow Inverness Road.
