Westmoreland Walk around

Had a good walk around the Lansdown View Estate this morning with Zack from Curo and whilst there we discussed issues such as the fly tipping by the Curo depot on Loxton Drive that Zack has agreed to get cleared.

We also looked at a residents request for an opening in a Curo Fence.

At Priddy Close we looked at several trees in some gardens that are in need of maintenance as they are affecting other residents.

We also asked for an update on the spring that is running to the rear of some of the houses on Rooksbridge walk.

In King Georges Road we looked at the land on Lansdown View where the council have put money into the budget to have a slither of grass put down to tarmac.

It was also good to catch up with Mark a local resident and discuss several contentious issues in the area with him which left him with a far better understanding.

Priddy Close

It was good to be able to talk with residents and to pick up concerns about the trees and dumped rubbish in and around the Priddy Close area.

A meeting is being organised with Curo to look at certain trees that are causing a problem and to look again what we can do about the rubbish being dumped.

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.

Trees at Priddy Close

I have been receiving complaints from several residents at Priddy Close that the tall trees at one point are completely blocking their view.

I have asked Curo to consider lowering the height of the tress that seem to have grown rather large and out of  control.

Loxton Drive clear up

We spent a couple of hours talking with residents and clearing up the large amount of litter around Loxton Drive, Lansdown View and Priddy Close.

We will be out every Saturday in different areas of Westmoreland Litter picking and talking to residents.

Each week will depend on the state of the areas as we will be targeting the roads most in need. If you want to join us, please get in touch and we will let you know where we will be.

Cracked retaining walls

I have asked Curo to look at Several retaining walls in Priddy Close to ensure that they are safe and that any repairs required are carried out.

I am not looking to be alarmist but with all the rain that we have had in the past few months it is better that we have these checked.


By Cllr Sharon Ball

Litter an Leaves Priddy Close

I have asked the council and Curo to again remove the litter that is accumulating at Priddy Close.

I have also asked that a brush is taken to the steps in this area to remove the leaves that are so dangerous in the wet weather.

If you know of another area with the same problem then please either let us know or contact council connect on 394041.

By Councillor Sharon Ball

Caravan & Trailers Priddy Close

I have again asked the Council and Curo (Somer Housing) to remove that Caravan pictured from the car park at Priddy Close.

 I have also asked that there is again a crack down on the amount of trailers that are again taking up valuable parking spaces.




By Cllr Sharon Ball

Priddy Close Car Park

We continue our successful campaign to keep the car parks available for cars to park in this ever busy area for parking.

We have asked both the council and Curo housing to ensure that this area is kept clear of trailers and Caravans.

Most residents keep the area clear but one or two persist and after receiving compliant from resident we have asked that one remaining Caravan is removed as soon as possible.

By Councillor Sharon Ball

Dumped mattress ?

please remove me

Who dumped this

We have asked the council to remove the old mattress that has been dumped in the car park area of Priddy Close.

It seems that some one is just dumping stuff in this area for the sake of it, If you see someone dumping please let us know.
