Here is this weeks update on what your Councillors Tim Ball and Sarah Moore have actioned in the area.
Haycombe Drive - we have again requested the Highways team visit the area and see the increasingly worsening state of the road and get work scheduled.
Newton Road - we have reported the increasing number of pot holes along this road.
Pennyquick Park - we have submitted another request for funds for a pump track, this has been a long term ambition to get sorted, however, the cost for this is so large that it is taking a bit of time to secure.
Firstbus - Sarah spoke with a couple of representatives from Firstbus this week to discuss issues faced by residents and ask for updates on any upcoming changes or improvements they have planned, more information on this will follow soon.
HMOs - We have sent a list of HMOs to BANES that we are aware of, this contains 31 HMOs that we have queries with, either they do not appear to have the relevant Licence or do not appear on the Planning site as having the approved change of use. If you are aware of any HMOs in your street that you want us to look at, please do let us know. The Licensing and Planning rules are there for a reason and we need to ensure they are all correctly registered.
Tim and Sarah attended the Full Council meeting where there was unanimous agreement to object to the latest airport expansion request from Bristol Airport. There was also unanimous agreement for the motion bought forward by the Labour Group and amended by the Liberal Democrat group in discussion with the Labour Group for Improving Transparency and Community Engagement around Planning Gain.
Tim and Sarah also completed over 40 pieces of personal residents case work.
