Linley Close

We have complained to Curo Housing with regards to their recycling at Linley Close garages.

At the moment the recycling is in a loose area and it gets scattered widely across the area and is a target for fly tipping.

We have asked Curo to put their recycling in a compound at a nearby block of flats to stop this mess that is currently being made.

Landseer Road

We are working on this area and have made great efforts to get the area cleaned up Cllr Gerry Curran said: "I spent some considerable time on Friday this week clearing the area of litter and removing some of the brambles and stinging nettles from an area where the old Cherry Tree was cut down."

The area has been a problem for quite a while and we need to resolve several issues in this area.

Cllr Tim Ball said: "The council have agreed to clear the bed in front of 32 Landseer Road this winter and prepare it for seeding or turfing. This will be co-ordinated with the replacement of the Cherry Tree".

Landseer Road Cherry Tree

I have asked the council to replace the Cherry Tree that was cut down a few weeks ago out side of 32 Landseer Road with another one, the tree was apparently dead.

I have also asked that the area is given a good clear up with brambles and nettles being cut back form the shrub bed  area.

High Street

I have asked for two very dangerous paving slabs to be replaced on Twerton High Street one outside of the CO-OP and the other alongside Blockbuster.

I would hope to see these replaced or repaired in the next couple of weeks and will keep a check on the area to ensure progress.

Litter pcks continue

I have continued my litter picks on Friday of Last week and spent time picking up litter in Dominion Road and Freeview Road.

In all I collected several bags in the time I was out and met several people who were surprised to see me picking litter but also very pleased that it was happening.

I will be out again this Friday if you want to join me then let me know via my contact details.

The fencing will be removed in the next few weeks and the area will be grassed over abandoning the wild flower area that never worked.

Litter Pick Long Valley Road

I had and enjoyable afternoon litter picking with a friend along Long Valley Road on Friday Afternoon.

It was nice to meet local residents and do a good deed for the community.

 In a short period of time we collected two bags of rubbish and left the area much cleaner than we found it.

By Cllr Gerry Curran

New metal fencing is soon to be erected at the bottom end of Redland Park to match work already done in other Parts of Redland Park.

The Work will be carried out in late October on Curo properties, I have also persuaded Curo to put this high quality fencing on one property in Newton Road that leads into the estate as this will tidy up the area and give a greater impact on Redland Par itself.
