Claude Terrace

Whilst walking to Moorland Road yesterday morning I can across this:

As collection day is Wednesday, this rubbish would not be collected until next week, and as it was obviously being attacked by animals, I decided to come back and clear it up.

Please can residents ensure their rubbish is put out for collection by 7am on the day of collection and not later.  This will mean we all get to live in a cleaner city, with less chance of bags being ripped open.

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.

I have again asked the council to clear the blocked drain at the junction of Lansdown View and King Georges Road.

This drain has been blocked for several months now and as this area is on a steep hill so it is important that the drain is cleared quickly.

Westmoreland Waste

I went for a walk around the Westmoreland ward this morning and was shocked to find that households in 23 different streets had rubbish outside.  I have reported each occurrence of this to BANES to arrange for the waste to be collected before it is spread down the street.

It is important that everyone takes responsibility for disposing of their own waste, which means that NO rubbish should be put on the footpath outside your properties until the day of collection.

Waste bags put out on days other than that of your scheduled collection encourages animals and birds to rip them open and in the case of recycling can result in it being spread over a large area when we have strong winds.

If you are unsure which day your waste is collected, please either check on the BANES website or contact us.

We are committed to ensuring the Westmoreland ward is the cleanest, safest area to live and would ask residents to help us to achieve this.

Claude Avenue/Cynthia Road

Following the Waste Collections yesterday, I went out this morning and picked up 8 bags of litter along Claude Avenue, Bridge Road, Cynthia Road and Mayfield Road.

I was shocked at the amount of litter left behind.  It is important to make sure all waste is put out on the correct day and in suitable containers to reduce the quantity that is left behind.

If you do not have suitable receipticles for your recycling, please get in touch with the Waste Services Team at BANES, who will be happy to help/advise you.

Whilst out litter picking this afternoon we came across this:

We have contacted the owner of the land and asked them to arrange for it to be cleared up as soon as possible.
