Lidl ( another step forward )

The prospect of a Lidl store in Bath has taken another significant step forward to day with Bath & North East Somerset Council announcing proposals for the closure of Fieldings Road for a period of up to six months to allow road alterations.

The closure will also allow a period for construction to take place.

The closure will be from 27th May 2014 as advertised in the statement below.

Brook Road Rubbish

We have complained about the state of Brook Road after a recent refuse collection in the street where
food waste was scattered over the pavements after being put out in general rubbish bags and not in the black food recycling bins.

We have asked that a leaflet drop is carried out in this street reminding residents of the need to keep food waste secure otherwise it is an easy target for Gulls in the area.

Please ask your neighbour if see them not recycling properly not to put food waste out as easy food for Gulls.

The Hollow

We have contacted the cabinet member to request the bin that has been placed at the bottom of The Hollow/top of Lansdown View is moved.

We have requested this bin is placed next to the bus stop, close to the shop, this will hopefully help to reduce the amount of litter that is dropped in this location and also the large amount of litter that regularly accumulates at the entrance to The Brickfields.

We will keep you updated on progress with this request.

We have requested the dangerous potholes spread at various locations on Coronation Avenue are repaired as soon as possible.

We are keen to get all the roads around the area back to a safe condition, if you are aware of any issues in your street that we have not yet reported, please let us know and we will request these are looked at as soon as possible.

Inverness Road

We are following up a few incidents with cyclists being abusive to residents on this road.

We were concerned when this road was suggested as a route for cyclists that the road was too narrow and that this sort of conflict may take place.

We would ask that all cyclists that use this route respect the rights of residents privacy and give way as much as possible to residents carrying out their daily routines.

It should be remembered that politeness costs nothing and that fostering good relations is always a good thing.

We hope that now the new bridge is open and the path to Bellotts Road is now complete that there will be less contention on this road.

Vernon Park - Litter

Following the waste collections yesterday, a large amount of litter was left through Vernon Park.

Councillor Sharon Ball and I have cleared this and have also reported the lack of collection of the recycling and requested this is picked up as soon as possible.
