Redland Park ( Litter bins )

The first of 9 new litter bins have been installed in Redland Park by Curo, the rest of the bins will be installed by Friday this week.

We are thankful that Curo has kept the promise that they made to local Councillors and residents over 3 years ago although we are disappointed that it has taken this long to get them put in.

The new litter bins will help keep the area clean and tidy and these bins will be emptied by the council, so partnership is working in this area.

Thanks to Zack and his team at Curo for listening and responding to our requests.

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.

Cleaning up again

Gerry earlier this year on one of his regular litter picks

On a cold day Cllr Gerry Curran spent several hours clearing up the areas of Woodhouse Road and the entrance to Redland Park.

Gerry said: "The area looked quite bad so I got the litter picker from the car and started to clear up the area and I was soon feeling warm and had a feeling of satisfaction at a Job well done".

Gerry is often litter picking in the Twerton area and if you want to join him and email to find out which days he is out and where he will be.

Pavements in parts of Twerton

We have asked the council to investigate the issues of green moss growing through some of our paths in Pennard, Green Cleeve Green and Shaws way that have recently been slurry sealed to protect them from wear and tear.

We are concerned that this moss could become slippery in the winter months and want to make sure that all of our residents are safe.

The council have been quick to respond saying that they will investigate the matter and bring about a resolution as quickly as possible.

Camely Green

We have asked Curo to pay some attention to the crumbling wall by the garages at the rear of Cameley green.

On inspection the wall is slowly giving way and if not attended to will collapse leaving a danger for pedestrians in the area.

We have asked Curo to secure this area and make the wall safe as soon as possible

Dominion Road

 We have asked that the council clean up the footpath that runs from Dominion Road to Freeview Road, we have also asked that the whole of Dominion Road is litter picked as soon as possible.

It seems that this area has been missed in the last few weeks and we are keen to see it brought back up to standard.

The pictures clearly show that this needs to be sorted asap.
