Cleaning up again

Gerry earlier this year on one of his regular litter picks

On a cold day Cllr Gerry Curran spent several hours clearing up the areas of Woodhouse Road and the entrance to Redland Park.

Gerry said: "The area looked quite bad so I got the litter picker from the car and started to clear up the area and I was soon feeling warm and had a feeling of satisfaction at a Job well done".

Gerry is often litter picking in the Twerton area and if you want to join him and email to find out which days he is out and where he will be.

Out on the Doorstep in Landseer Road

We have had a very pleasant session talking with residents in Landseer Road who have told us that they are pleased with the work rate of their local councillors.

Having said that there are matters that need to be resolved and we as of yesterdays entry been chasing the large mounds of bark that have jus been dumped in two areas and we have requested that these are raked out properly.

We have also noticed that the are is in need of a good litter pick and Gerry will be in the area on Friday to give it a good clear up.

Redland Park Litter Pick update

The litter Pick that I have been organising with the council and Curo will take place at 2pm and hour before the fun day.

Meeting place outside Cost cutter shop Newton Road

Time 2pm

Please come and join me and other residents if you can.

More litter Cleared

Gerry Clearing up Highland Road

We continued our litter picking on Friday this week Councillor Gerry Curran and I cleared the footpath that runs from Freeview Road to Dominion Road in the morning and also cleared several bags of rubbish from the bottom of Hanna Close.

In all we collected three bags of rubbish from just this small area.

On Friday afternoon Councillor Gerry Curran also litter picked Highland Road and Landseer Road returning them to a clean state after being in a poor condition.

Gerry with help collected a further two bags of litter from this area, It would be helpful if residents would take a little more respect for their area.

We had a good clear up in Redland Park and Linley Close Garages yesterday 18th,

In Redland Park there are still many areas that need attention and we will return to these over the coming weeks.

In addition to this we are planning a good community Clear up of Redland Park followed buy a fun day sponsored by Curo later in the day we will post more details later.

Councillor Gerry Curran (pictured opposite) & Councillor Tim Ball carry out litter picks on a regular basis and if you want to join us just let us know and we will tell you where we are going.

 At Linley Close Garages we removed all of the litter that had been accumulating for quite a few months an also cleared the park area down to Shaws Way.

We hope that when we get the new recycling Centre relocated that a lot of this mess will stop happening.

We will also be approaching the local public house as many of their glasses were found in the car park area.

It is important that we all do our bit to help keep the community clean including the public houses in the area.

Great Friday Litter Pick

It was good to clear the litter off of Watery Lane, Newton Road, & How Hill this morning with Councillor Gerry Curran on his regular Friday morning litter picks.

It was also very good to be joined by three residents who responded to our request for help last week.

If you want to join us on a Friday Morning then please contact Gerry or Tim and we will let you know where we are meeting, we don't put this out in advance as we want to concentrate on areas that are in a poor state and only make the decision where we are visiting on the Thursday morning before the Friday litter pick.

Highland Road Litter Pick

Your Local Councillors Tim Ball & Gerry Curran have carried out a litter pick in Highland Road on Friday morning supported by several local residents, these are part of the regular letter picks that we carry out every Friday.

In all we have removed quite a few bags of rubbish and have left the area much cleaner that when we found it.

Cllr Gerry Curran said: "This area always seems to be in a mess and we are keen to find out why. It could be rubbish sacks not being cleared away or it could be the lack of a litter bin."

We are considering getting a litter bin put in place but want residents feed back please let us know what you think.

Litter Pick & Childrens play area

Cllr Gerry Curran joined children from St Michael's Junior School on a litter pick in Carr's Woodland off of Walwyn Close Twerton on Monday 18th March.

Gerry Said: "The area was full of litter and it was great to have the children along to help us adults clear up, It is a shame that people can not take their litter home with them instead of dropping it where they are stood".

There was also a lot of fly tipping that had taken place in the woodland area that has been removed with help of the councils waste department.

After an hour of litter picking the Children went onto a new woodland play area created by the councils parks department, in which the natural elements are put to good use such as fallen trees and tree stumps.

"We hope that the Children have as much fun using the new play areas as we had looking around them".



The areas above and to the left hand side are the new play area's created for children from natural materials.

The play area can be accessed from Walwyn close by entering the woodland trail and following it 300 yards, It can also be accessed from the Woodland trail from Pennyquick View with a slightly shorter walk.
