Over the past few weeks, a number of small issues that Tim and I have reported have finally been actioned, including the street sweeping on North View Close and the repair of these steps on Freeview Road:
We have also now received dates for other repairs such as the felling of a very large tree that was planted in the wrong location. Whilst we would not usually request any trees to be removed, if they are the wrong type that are too big for the location, as they grow over time they start to cause damage and become a hazard. We have already planted a large number of new trees in the Twerton area and are looking to increase this number.
We also now have a date for the repair of the gate at Hanna Close, this will have a slow closure mechanism added to it, to prevent it from banging shut.
Due to the full workload of our Highways team and the previous administration not scheduling the resource within this year, we have been assured that the additional parking at the end of Freeview Road, will take place early in the next financial year.
The repairs to the bus stops in the area will take place towards the end of February/beginning of March, this is due to contractors and replacement parts availability.
We continue to report minor issues via the FixMyStreet APP which is available for everyone to use and the request goes directly to the team responsible or you will receive a response if it is not the Council's responsibility. This is the quickest way to lodge issues and get a resolution.
We fully understand residents frustrations that work does not happen as quickly as you would like and we are now looking at how we can speed up resolutions, however, please do continue to let us know of any issues in your street that need action and we will
