Out on the Doorstep in Landseer Road

We have had a very pleasant session talking with residents in Landseer Road who have told us that they are pleased with the work rate of their local councillors.

Having said that there are matters that need to be resolved and we as of yesterdays entry been chasing the large mounds of bark that have jus been dumped in two areas and we have requested that these are raked out properly.

We have also noticed that the are is in need of a good litter pick and Gerry will be in the area on Friday to give it a good clear up.

Landseer Road

We have asked the council to clear up the mess that they have made making alterations to the former planter areas between 32/37 Landseer Road.

We requested that these areas were cleared up some time ago and will ensure that these areas are put right as soon as possible.

The attached documents will allow residents to access Post Office services for much longer during the day which we believe will in the long run benefit the community.

Please see attached documents which hep explain what is happening in more detail.

Mill Lane

We have been informed that Mill Lane that leads to the Lower Bristol Road from Twerton High Street will close overnight for essential safety work on the railway bridge on 3rd November at 10pm and will reopen on 4th November at 6am.

An alternative route is available and is:

Lower Bristol Road, Bellotts Road, Ringwood Road, Millmead Road, Dartmouth Avenue, Lynmore Avenue, Shophouse Road and High Street.

Parking Restrictions Poolemead Road

Last week we raised the issue that the order to remove double yellow lines from the road opposite to the island at Wedgewood Road had been approved.

We can now confirm that these yellow lines have now been removed allowing for off road parking as originally intended.

We have already heard from a number of residents we are pleased that we have been able to resolve this difficult problem.

Community speed watch (Twerton)

The Police are setting up a community speed watch scheme for Twerton for which volunteers in the community can then run.

We all know the roads where there is speeding traffic and we all moan about it, now let's pick up the mantle  and do something about it.

If you are interested in taking part in community speed watch then you will need to be trained and have a bit of time on your hands.

To find out more about this exciting scheme the either contact Pc Adge Secker at Bath Police Station by dialling 101 or contact Tim or Gerry and we will pass your details onto  Adge.

Wedgewood Road Bus Shelter

The Bus Shelter at Wedgewood Road is going to be replaced with a new shelter and seat in the spring of 2015

In the mean time we have arranged for the light fitting that is damaged to be repaired, we would hope that this would be done quickly.

Bus Shelters and Bus Stops Kelston View

A new Bus shelter has been installed on Kelston View by Wedgewood Road flats as part of the Bath Transport package to encourage greater bus use across the area.

The controversial bus build out by 38 Kelston View will soon be removed and the original bus stop put back as it was. This was brought about by complaints from local residents.
