New year celebrations

 It’s New years eve and many of us will be celebrating the ending of yet another year and the beginning of a new one.

Please remember as you celebrate to respect yourself and others around you please treat them in the same way that you expect to be treated. 

It is important to remember if consuming alcohol that this may influence decision making and lead to conflict and a run in with the law please avoid this.

At New year our hospitals are at their busiest times please don’t add to the numbers by doing silly things and ending up there yourself.

Happy New year to all readers of this blog.

Waste and recycling

This is the busiest time of year for the councils waste and recycling crews. Crews are working extra time including Saturdays to ensure that any backlog is cleared.

Please be patient whilst our crews work hard and please ensure that your waste is presented for easy collection. 

 

St Michael’s Road

 

We have asked that the steps halfway along St Michael’s Road are levelled out to allow disabled people better access.

We have also asked that a second handrail is fitted on the steps pictured to make it safer for the less mobile abled people.

£20 million investment for Twerton and Whiteway

Councillors Tim Ball and Sarah Moore have had a further meeting with officers concerning the £20 million pounds that has been allocated to Twerton as part of the Pride of Place Government project.

We have received confirmation that the previous information given to us was incorrect and although the Council are regularly placing bids for funds, this money was not allocated as part of a bid from the Council.

However, as you can see from the map that we have been given below from Central Government, the majority of Whiteway is indeed excluded at the present time.  The funding has been allocated based on ONS data for the area.

We have been told that the Board that will be set up may be able to vote to include additional areas and we will be working closely with officers and residents to ensure the whole ward is included and that the majority of the board is lead by residents.
