The footpath that runs along the side of the farm is covered in mud, leaves and branches following the cutting back of the hedges by Bath City Farm.
We have contacted the Farm to ask that they clear up the mess left behind.
We have also requested that all the other footpaths around Twerton are cleared of the weeds and leaves.
Residents in Freeview Road have experienced considerable difficulty with parking provision for a long time and we have been working for a number of years to get agreement for additional spaces to be provided. This was one of the commitments we made during the election and are pleased to be able to finally make it happen.
Having secured funding, we are pleased to confirm that the Highways team have agreed the following 2 areas for additional parking in Freeview Road:
This provision is next to the existing parking near the entrance to Innox Park. Unfortunately, there are no suitable areas in the middle of Freeview Road, but these spaces should help to reduce the pressures further along the road.
As soon as the work order has been placed with the contractor we will let residents know.
We are also still working with residents in other areas of Twerton & Whiteway where parking is also an issue to try and find a resolution.
Over the past 3 months Tim and I have reported a number of issues to Curo across the ward.
Despite numerous chasing emails, these issues are not being dealt with in a timely manner. We have finally received a repair date of 4th November for the broken light by Woody Park that we first reported at the beginning of August. We also reported graffiti on garages in Kelston View at the same time but are still having to chase for a date for this to be cleared and the climbing frame in Woody Park that has meant the gates were locked still isn't sorted.
Residents across Twerton and Whiteway deserve a better service from Curo, we have been told that Curo are making changes to the way they work and we will not stop until issues and repairs are dealt with in a timely manner.
Trees are being damaged and the noise and disturbance with buses constantly running from the early hours till late evening without any passengers on many of the busses has been brought to their attention.
We have asked that first bus and the council re-evaluate the need for these large vehicles on this route and return to using smaller buses. The need for the frequency of these buses has also been challenged.
Those missed collections will be collected Saturday and residents are requested to present their recycling for collection.
We have a planning appliaction at 10 Rosewarn Close, Whiteway, Bath.
Proposal
Change of use of dwelling (Use Class C3) to House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) (Use Class C4). Erection of a rear extension to replace existing conservatory and provision of secure cycle storage.

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