Westmoreland walk around

After a walk around with Curo last week we can report that the following issues were raised to be sorted out and we will be working with both Curo and the Council to resolve these matters.

 Rooksbridge Walk

 We have asked the council to clear the weeds from the footpaths at Rooksbridge walk and Loxton Drive the pictures show these have got out of hand.

We would hope that this work could be carried out quite quickly

Loxton Drive

We have asked the Curo to follow up on their promises and remove the old planters that have now become dangerous.

We have also asked the council to jet wash part of the parking area at Loxton Drive.

May residents have complained about the number 40 just being painted on the stone and we have asked Curo to remove this.

We have asked Curo to tidy up the area beside 31.

Priddy Close

Again we have the problem of fly tipping beside the garages at Priddy Close and we will be working with the council and Curo to have this removed and attempt to identify who is dumping at this location.

Albany Road

Cllr Sharon Ball has been helping residents with the aftermath of a sewer overflow last week and has been in touch with both Curo and Wessex water to identify why the blockage keeps happening.

It seems that there may be one very irresponsible resident who is flushing disposable nappies down the drain and we have asked Curo to write to all their tenants to refrain from this sort of activity.

Loxton Drive. Priddy Close & Rooksbridge Walk Community event

I had a very good meeting with Curo and a local resident representative yesterday to discuss the possibility of a community event to be held early September in the Loxton Drive area.

We are looking at arranging the community event for all residents to come along to and would love to hear from any other residents that would like to help arrange this.

We will be putting a flyer out in the next couple of weeks with contact information on, or feel free to contact me via email sssomoore@gmail.com or phone 07807013635.

King George's Road planning application

A planning application has been submitted by Curo to build more social houses on the allotments in King George's Road.

The proposal is to demolish some of the existing housing in King George's Road and build 11 houses and 10 flats.

Comments are invited via the BANES planning page and the planning reference is 13/03835/FUL.  The deadline for comments is 24th October 2013.

This is better

A big thank you to Curo who have done a good job when replacing the broken tree at King Georges Road that I reported to them a few months ago.

I am sure residents will remember the broken metal grids that were in place in this area before that were an eyesore.

The new paving stones are certainly a huge improvement and tidy the area up, lets hope that the kids leave the tree alone to grow.
