Wedgwood Road - Tree Maintenance

Please take care if you are out and about on Wedgwood Road tomorrow, 28th February as Curo will be cutting back some of the trees in the area as part of their maintenance programme.

Clean Air Zone - Update

After residents from across the city have put pressure on the Conservative administration, it has now been confirmed that the proposed Clean Air Zone being voted on at a special cabinet meeting next week is set to be put in place.

However, they are opting to exclude ALL cars in the revised proposal.  Full details of these proposals can be viewed here.

Waterloo Buildings

It was a pleasure to see the new fencing that we asked for has been erected at Waterloo Buildings replacing the old worn out dilapidated fencing that made the whole area look so untidy.

During the next few months it is hoped that the fencing will be painted to make it look even better.

A group of residents have already volunteered to put some sympathetic planting in where the old shrubs have been removed and along the grass bank opposite your homes and to lead the painting of the fence.

It is also hoped all residents that are able, will join in this group as has been the case in Landseer Road, together we can make Twerton even better.

Please watch out for further updates.

Street Issues - Twerton & Whiteway

Over the past 12 months, Tim Ball and Sarah Moore have visited every street in the area numerous times and have created a list of issues in each street that they have either observed themselves or have been raised directly by the local residents, eg lack of parking, poorly maintained footpaths/roads, overgrown hedges, poor street lighting, regular flytipping, abandoned vehicles and many others.

Tim and Sarah are working hard to get all these issues resolved, however, some of these have a financial cost, which needs revenue to be put into a budget to deliver or may not be the responsibility of the Council and so other companies need to be involved.

Please email sssomoore@gmail.com or tim_ball@bathnes.gov.uk if you have issues in your street that have not been addressed as they may already be on their list or can be added to the list. 

You can also report minor issues, eg blocked drains, Flytipping, excessive litter etc via the FixMyStreet app yourself.

By working together we will make Twerton and Whiteway the best it can be for all residents.

Lower Bristol Road Dangerous Parking

We are working with the Police and Bath and North East Somerset Council to get the dangerous parking resolved on the Lower Bristol Road.

Not only are cars parking on the pavement on a very busy, dangerous road but they are obstructing the view of pedestrians attempting to cross the road at Connection Hill.

We are concerned that some one will be killed at this point so have asked the Police and Council to take enforcement action to prevent this dangerous parking.  We have also asked that a large section of this particular area has double yellow lines installed.

High Street - Connection Hill - Temporary Footpath Closure

Please be aware there is work proposed by Western Power Distribution from 27th February for up to 14 days, which will mean the footpath leading from the top of Connection Road to the Lower Bristol Road (by the side of the Electric Sub station) may be closed off. 

If you usually use this route, the next footpath to the Lower Bristol Road is via Mill Lane.
