Lights on at Landseer Road

We have asked the council to fix the light at Landseer Road that is constantly on. If you are aware of any other lights that are constantly on or not working then please let us know.

Community litter pick Highland & Landseer Road

It was good to be out in Highland Road and Landseer Road helping clear up the litter in these roads.

In all we  collected 7 bags of rubbish and left the area a whole lot cleaner than it was when we got there.

It was also good to be able to talk to local residents about issues that concern them.

Recycling collections Landseer Road

Recycling collections have not been made in Landsser Road for the past two days due to the road not being able to be accessed by the recycling vehicles due to parked cars preventing access.

The recycling trucks will again attempt to gain access to this road on Thursday to clear the uncollected recycling.

We will be looking into the issues of vehicles being unable to access this road with the councils highways department as we are now concerned for the access of emergency vehicles.

We will report back on this blog on progress as and when available.

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.

New Double yellow lines and removal of Double yellow yellow Lines

New Schedules for no waiting restrictions have just been published and these will affect 2 Twerton Roads.

1) Waiting restrictions (  double yellow lines ) will be put into place on the northern spur of Landseer Road to ensure that emergency vehicles can gain access to Landseer Road.

2) Waiting restrictions ( double yellow lines ) will be removed from a section of Poolemead road to aid the provision of off road parking.

These have both been consulted on with local residents who support these proposals.

The new schedules take affect as of 15th October 2014

Twerton walk around with Curo

We had a good walk around with Curo on Wednesday and managed to resolve several issues and noted further works that need to take place.

Thanks to Zack and his team from Curo.

High street

We noted some cracked paving Slabs that are in need of repair, and we will follow these up with Highways.

We also noted that there are repairs needed to the stairwell at the Parade.

Clyde Gardens.

We had discussions with residents about the trees behind some of the houses that are between them and the railway.

The residents want some of the trees reduced in height and we will be writing to rail track asking them  to cut them down to a lower height.

Landseer Road

We were pleased to see the area much tidier than it has been for a while and noted that Curo had been using community pay back the day before to clean the area up.

The issue about the overgrown area near to 32 & 33 is about to be resolved with the area being turned into parking, unfortunately we have no date for when this may be carried out.

Highland & Landseer Road

We have asked the council to clear up the litter and rubbish that has been allowed to build up on the rear footpaths on both Highland Road and Landseer Road.

Both you local Councillors have spent many and hour clearing up litter that has not been very well cleared up in the past.

We would hope that this area would be cleared up in the near future.

Landseer Road

The council are applying for traffic regulation orders for parts of Landseer Road and on the look of it these seem very sensible.

But after saying that we would like to hear from any residents that have any concerns about the proposals that are indicated on the Map below.

Please let either Tim or Gerry know your views on these as soon as possible so we can feed in any comments.

More litter Cleared

Gerry Clearing up Highland Road

We continued our litter picking on Friday this week Councillor Gerry Curran and I cleared the footpath that runs from Freeview Road to Dominion Road in the morning and also cleared several bags of rubbish from the bottom of Hanna Close.

In all we collected three bags of rubbish from just this small area.

On Friday afternoon Councillor Gerry Curran also litter picked Highland Road and Landseer Road returning them to a clean state after being in a poor condition.

Gerry with help collected a further two bags of litter from this area, It would be helpful if residents would take a little more respect for their area.

Landseer Road

We have asked Curo to ensure that this patch of land is cleared up and replanted as soon as possible.

Late last year we asked that an old dead tree was removed from this area and this was carried out.

We at the time received assurances that the area would be completely cleared of weeds and replanted in the spring, as we are now in early summer with have reminded them.
