Twerton and Whiteway Ward Councillors weekly update - 08.02.2025

Here is this weeks update on what your Councillors Tim Ball and Sarah Moore have actioned in the area. As well as attending various meetings. 

*    Considerable rubbish and fly-tipping in Rosewarn Close

We have reported the high level of rubbish and fly-tipping to both B&NES and Curo. B&NES visited on on Wednesday and cleared 32 bags of rubbish and 2 loads of fly-tipping. Curo will be visiting shortly to clear up the litter in the shrubs and bushes.

*     A number of Highway issues

We have sent a list to the council of roads that need resurfacing, street signs that need replacing and potholes that need repair.

*    Fly-tipping and rubbish in Redland Park

This was reported to Curo, who are arranging the removal.

*    Excessive litter/weeds

We requested the clean and green team at B&NES to clear the consider amount of litter on Twerton High Street, Shophouse Road and Landseer Road. They also requested the large amount of weeds to be removed from the footpath at the end of Kelston View (close to The Hollow).

*    Shaws Way

We have again asked for action to be taken to stop vehicles driving on the public footpath at the front on the houses 1 - 12 as this is dangerous and is also causing a lot of mess.

We had another meeting with Curo to request they move forward with putting bleed kits on their blocks of flats and other key locations in Twerton and Whiteway. Curo will be discussing this at a meeting next week and we are hopeful to have an update on this shortly.

We have handled approximately 40 pieces of resident specific casework.

If you have any issues in your street that you would like help with, please do get in touch.
