It just goes to show that the Twerton spirit of lets get on with it despite the odds is alive and well

Pot Hole Reported

There is a large pot hole on Watery Lane that has opened up in the past week since we have had all the rain.

The Pot Hole is close to the bus stop on outside of Pennard Court and has caused a few problems for motorists.

We have asked that this pot hole is repaired as soon as possible.

New Fencing at the Hollow

Old broken down fencing now gone

New fencing is being erected at the Hollow between Kelston View and Cotswold View.

Although we welcome the new fencing it leaves us suspicious to what the underlying motive for this fencing is.

We will of course dig in and find out what is going on in this area.

The Magpie seems to agree

The Pictures show the improvement that the new fencing is having on the area with the old metal fence now gone.


If you have any comments that you would like to make please contact us.

Pot Holes Kelston View

Some of the Pot Holes that were reported on Kelston View have now been repaired. If you know of any pot holes that need attending to then please let us know.

Litter clear up request

I have asked the council to clean up the footpaths between Shaws Way an Newton road after finding them very messy several days running this week. I have also asked for the footpath between Freeview Rd & Dominion rd to be cleaned up.
