New Mini Recycling Centre – The Parade, High Street, Twerton

Somer Housing are planning to arrange for B&NES to install a Mini Recycling Centre (MRC), for residents living in the flats at The Parade. Wheelie bins will be provided in a fixed frame, in the car park area next to the garages.

The current situation involves the B&NES recycling contractor, May Gurney, collecting the individual recycling boxes from outside of the flats. 

 

Following Health & Safety issues with the collection crews travelling down the stairs with full recycling boxes, Somer now feel it would be more beneficial to provide residents at The Parade with a Mini Recycling Centre.

This would involve residents taking their recycling down to this area and depositing this in the appropriate recycling bin. There would no longer be a recycling box collection or a blue bag collection for cardboard, meaning residents would not have to store recycling in their flats until collection day.

We have expressed some concern to Somer about the security of the recycling area and are insisting that the bins are secured in this area. 

Somer are writing to all residents this week and if supported they will arrange installation by the end of June.

Bath City Farm Fun Day

Rubber slide

We both spent time at Bath City Farm yesterday at the Children's Fun Day. It was good to see that nearly 200 people turned up and had a wonderful time.

The event organised by Bath area Play Project and the Play rangers was a great success which every one seemed to enjoy.

Children were also able to visit the animals at the farm and partake in a free Barbecue thanks to donations by local traders.

It has to be many thanks to the volunteers that give up their time to make such an event possible.

Highland Road Railings

Damaged railings not repaired

Sort these out please

We have again chased Somer Housing to get the railings repaired that protect the Car Park at Highland Road.

It is quite a while ago that we reported these and have told Somer that we are unhappy with their response.

Hedge Needs to be Cut Back

Hard to get past Hedge

Cut Me Please

We have again chased Somer Housing with regards to the hedge at Dominion Road on the footpath to Freeview Road.

Somer have recently let the property to a new tenant but no action was taken by Somer to deal with the hedge, We have now asked that they urgently deal with this problem.

New Litter bin requested

Worn out bin Cleeve Green

Please Change me I'm broke

We have asked for a new litter bin to be installed at Cleeve Green as the current one is no longer fit for purpose.

We would hope that the new bin would be in place shortly.
