New Police Headquaters.

We have unofficially heard that the Police are to have their new base in Bath in the Westmoreland Ward based in the former tax office at Redbridge House behind the Kia garage.

This has not yet been officially confirmed by the Police but from information that we have received we are reasonably confident that our information is correct.

We are pleased if this is confirmed as it means that our area continues to be a thriving area for employment and ensures that all our office space is being used.

Western Riverside

After hearing from residents about cars speeding into Western Riverside and had a concern raised that a resident was nearly knocked over by a car racing into the site we have taken some action to have this matter resolved.

We have asked that 20mph repeater signs are introduced at the entrance to this site with immediate affect and are spaced at periodic intervals in the site.

We have also asked that the Police check this area periodically to deal with offenders breaking the speed limit.

Local Policeman gets top award

Last week our local beat officer that covers the Westmoreland Ward Adrian Secker was given a top accolade by the Avon & Somerset Police.

Adrian was given the Police beat Manager of the year award for his work in the communities and we believe that this award is well deserved as he has worked tirelessly in our area.

Some of the work Adrian has carried out has brought the main graffiti artist to Justice.

Well done Adge a well deserved accolade that has been a long time coming but well deserved.
