Where are Our Road Signs

Where are Our Road Signs




We have reported the two missing Road signs at Camely Green and asked that these are replaced as soon as possible.

Please clean up these leaves


The leaves are falling all around and are a problem underfoot so there is a need to be careful when out there at the moment as many of these are slippery and it is very easy to fall.

We have asked the council to clear many of the leaves that are is places that the elderly or vulnerable walk.

The picture shows leaves on Woodhouse Road and we have asked that these are cleared as soon as possible but we know that the council are up against it as all the leaves seem to have come down at once.

Community recycling facilities

Community recycling facilities


The Picture shows a very good reason why community facilities in some areas break down.

Why is it that Bath & North East Somerset Council are not providing cardboard recycling at many of the recycling banks in community areas dominated by flats.

People will always dump rubbish and leave cardboard in areas where they expect a collection to be made. We are asking the council to ensure that they remove all rubbish and recycling materials from recycling banks as it builds up.
Residents in the Walwyn Close area in Twerton where this picture was taken have told us that they have contacted the council on several occasions to ask for the rubbish and recycling materials to be removed but have not had a positive response in fact quite the opposite.
