Redland Park (woody park)

We are concerned that this area needs to be kept together and that maintenance needs to be improved and brought this to Curo's attention.

Cllr Sarah Moore has again reminded Curo of the need to repair the lamp post in this area that we have previously reported as not working.

It is of concern that with the dark nights coming that we need Curo to repair this light without delay.

Rosewarn Close

 We have asked Curo to ensure that several abandoned cars that have been vandalised or are without tax MOT’s or insurance to be removed as soon as possible.

It’s a shame that these are here as many residents are working hard to bring this area up together with lots of planters going out.

Linley Close Garage area.

We have asked for the mess to be removed from the recycling area as there is again rubbish dumped there.

We have also asked for the tree branches that have been dumped to be removed as soon as possible .

Connection Road - temporary closure

On 16th October BANES have scheduled work to remove excessive vegetation from the high wall on Connection Road, this will mean traffic will be controlled with stop/go boards.

This road is also scheduled to be fully closed from 19th to 23rd October to enable Network Rail to make brick repairs to the railway bridge.

We have also been contacted by a number of residents that are concerned about vehicles ignoring the no left turn signs and are turning left into Connection Road from How Hill.  This junction is being reviewed to see if there is any way to enforce this restriction and make it safer for vehicles coming up the hill and also people trying to cross this road.

Stop the Loan Sharks

We hope that this will help residents of Twerton.

 Good news –  we are launching our new Stop Loan Sharks reporting app on Wednesday, September 23, and you can download for free on the App Store and Google Play.

 

The app is mainly aimed at frontline professionals and provides useful information on how to recognise the signs of illegal money lending, respond to disclosures and where to refer clients to for specialist support.  

 

If you are concerned that someone you know may be the victim of a loan shark, please call our 24 hour helpline on 0300 555 2222 or seek advice and support through the app. We also have various survivor stories available which can be publicised to encourage others to speak up about their experiences.

 

Please feel free to disseminate the information attached and share widely via your networks.

 

Our promotional landing page provides web users with an overview of the app and links to relevant app stores and share tools.

 

If you have any queries regarding the app or would like to book onto a loan shark awareness course, please contact me on the details below.
