Councillor Gerry Curran is continuing with his regular litter picks in Twerton and this time he is organising a community litter pick in Redland Park Woodhouse Road & Walwyn Close.

The litter pick will start in Redland Park at 10.30 am where we will meet at 10.30 am moving through Redland Park and onto Woodhouse Road and Walwyn Close in the afternoon where we will finish at about 3.30pm.

If you are able to join us we will be pleased to see you. Litter pickers can be provided but if you have your own please bring it along.

If you are not able to join us at the start and can join us later please ring 07970461674 to find out where we are.

Linley Close and garages

Councillor Gerry Curran spent a good two hours clearing litter for the park area behind the Centurion public house and the garage area behind at Linley close.

In all Gerry removed several large bags of rubbish from the area.

We have also asked Curo to remove the old Fridges and gas bottles that have been dumped in the garages.

Redland Park Fun Day plus

A fun day is being put on for residents of Redalnd Park for Wednesday 28th August to take place at Pennyquick Playing fields from 3pm till 6pm.

The Fun day will be primarily for the residents of Redland Park and is being organised jointly between Curo and Time Bank Plus who are introducing a new worker into the area to encourage residents of the estate to take part in the time bank ethos.

In the light of this I have organised a litter pick in conjunction with the council on the same day starting at 2pm from the bus shelter at Pennyquick View to cover the Redland Park estate please come and join me if you can.

Residents will also be able to make comments on what plans Curo have for the area and what improvements they would like to see made including the location of the new litter bins that Curo have promised us that they are going to install.

Many stalls are being organised with advise and information about Welfare reform and Universal credits and how this will affect you.

A few weeks ago I attended the meeting that decided to put this event on and I would like to pay credit to Curo, Time Bank Plus, and the council officers that have also helped bring this forward in a very short period of time.

At the fun day their will be many items for the children including the young at heart such as a bouncy castle and competitions and fun things to do.

So if you have the time on your hands, need some advice or just want a bit of fun the this one is for you.

A good day in Twerton today

It has been a good day in Twerton with much of the work that we have been calling for being carried out to leave the area looking much tidier for the weekend.

1) The grass at Kelston view has been cleared up as we requested.

2) Curo have cut back some of the very overgrown gardens on the greens in the area,

3) A good litter pick on Watery Lane Newton Road and How Hill this morning,

4) The council have cleared up the bad area in front of Eleanor Cottages that we have complained about.
