Christmas Tree up

 

Councillors Sarah Moore and Tim Ball are pleased to confirm they have arranged for a Christmas Tree to be erected on Twerton High Street for the community to enjoy. 

 

The tree has be been placed on the grassed area at the end of Clyde Gardens.

 

Working with Bath Funeral Directors on Twerton Parade, baubles will be available free of charge, for residents to collect and write a message on to remember a loved one that is no longer with us, which can then be hung on the tree through the festive season. NB only baubles should be hung on the tree. 

Christmas and New Year rubbish and recycling collections

Every household has been sent a leaflet advising them of changes to the recycling and rubbish collection dates and highlighting the outstanding 60% recycling rate achieved across the area, which has helped save 51,000 tonnes of waste – enough to pack Bath Abbey to its vaulted ceiling around 14 times. You can also check your collection dates online.

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
