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.

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.

Grass cutting to be done by weekend

Longhay Close this morning
We have received some good news on the grass cutting front and can confirm that Kelston View will be cut before the weekend as we would like to see.

We have also reported Longhay Close today and are pleased that this area will also be cut before the weekend.

Kelston View grass cutting

We have been chasing the council and Curo over the poor grass cutting across the area particularly Kelston view where it looked like the grass had just been hacked around and not properly cut.

We hope that these poor standards will not be repeated and have received assurances that these areas that we have reported at various points in Twerton  will be cut in the fashion that we would expect in the very near future.

Cameley Green

I have asked the council to clear up this area as a large amount of litter has been scattered across the area from 66 to 78.

Residents have told me that there was no obvious sign of split bags or animal activity and believe this is human being caused.

If you know who this was please let us know in the mean time it should be cleaned up shortly.
