Windrush Close - Footpath

It is really good to see the slippery moss has finally been cleared on the footpath in Windrush Close.

We have also requested the uneven pavement in Shaws is repaired as soon as possible.

If you have any issues in your area, please do let us know and we will see if we can help.

Christmas Waste/Recycling Dates

Below are the dates that waste and recycling will be collected over the Christmas period

Christmas trees can be collected from January 18 after garden waste collections resume, taken to a Recycling Centre or collected by Dorothy House. The charity has a dedicated website for people who live in BA1, BA2, BA3 and BS31 postcodes to arrange for their Christmas tree to be collected by volunteers. Keynsham is a new collection area added for 2021.
 

Curo Christmas card competition winners revealed

Elves, sleighs, snowmen, Christmas trees and cosy Christmas homes featured highly on the designs local children submitted for this year’s Curo Christmas Card competition.

We would like to say a big congratulations to the winner of the 5-9 age category eight-year-old Kassady White of Twerton, Bath. Her design imagined one of Curo’s repair vans as a reindeer-pulled sleigh.

We would also like to congratulate 14-year-old Gina Paradise, who lives in Corston near Bath, won the 10-16 age category and will see her design used on the official Curo Christmas card and the winner of the 0-4 category is Paris Lake’s colourful creation. Paris also lives in Corston and is just one-and-a-half years old.

All the winners received a £50 gift voucher and certificate, safely hand-delivered by Regional Customer Account Manager Emma Newman who came up with the idea for the competition.

Emma said: “This is the fourth year we have run our competition and even though we were in lockdown we were determined it would go ahead because it’s always so popular. We had some fantastic entries again this year and we loved viewing them all - it really brightens the day! Thanks to everyone who entered.”

A gallery of all the winning and highly commended competition entries is available on Curo’s website at www.curo-group.co.uk/christmascardcomp

Freeview Road - Work scheduled

 We are pleased to confirm we finally have a date for the installation of the additional parking.

We have been involved in discussions since 2016 about where and how additional parking provision can be put in place on Freeview Road.  We had sign off of the funding in 2018, however, the work was not scheduled by the previous administration which has resulted in the delays.

We chased this up at the end of 2019 and had confirmation that it would be carried out during 2020-2021 financial year.

Today we have had confirmation that work is planned to commence on 4th January 2021 and will last for a period of 3 weeks.

The work is being split into 3 phases as shown below: 

Parking restrictions will need to be in place whilst the work is being carried out during the day, but residents will still be able to park there in the evenings and over the weekend.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to the residents, however, we are hopeful the end result will make parking a bit easier and safer.

New Multi Use Games Area agreed

We are pleased to confirm that our bid to secure funding to install a new Multi Use Games Area for Rosewarn Park has finally been fully signed off.

We will be arranging a meeting with Curo to push this forward and contact the supplier.  Exact design is yet to be decided but it will hopefully be something similar to the one above. We will confirm when this will be installed as soon as it is sorted.

We are also looking at other areas across Twerton & Whiteway to see how we can make improvements for all our residents.
