Fly posting

Fly postering has started to appear on the former blockbuster building in Twerton High Street.

I have contacted the council and am attempting to contact the new owners Morrison's to try to get the fly pottering removed as soon as possible.

It appears that the posters are for the Moles Club in Bath and the Dolphin public House.

It should be remembered that it is an offence to Fly poster and both businesses will be reported for appropriate action.

Newton Road Bolards to be installed

The issue of the parking on the grass verges on Newton Road has been a hot topic for some time now.

We have agreed to have new bollards put in place between the entrance to Redland Park and the exit from Redland Park to stop the erosion of the grass verges.

Residents in this area have ample parking to the rear of their homes and have no need to park in front of their homes.

This work should take place later this year and the bollards will be of a design that will blend in with the local area.

We are also considering having having small pear trees installed on these verges to completely tidy up the area and will be consulting residents on this issue.

There may also be a small section that will need to have some grass Crete fitted and we are seeking funding for this.

This will be another of our six to fix issues that we promised residents that we would deal with.

Poolemead Road grass verges good news

As in our promises made to residents pre the local elections in 2011 we are please to announce that we are now able to go ahead with the installation of grass Crete at Poolemead Road.

Grass Crete will allow parking on the grass verges where there are no double yellow lines and will clear up the damage highlighted in this picture opposite.

This is another of our six to fix promises that we made to residents that is being achieved.

The finances have been made available by the two local Liberal Democrats Tim Ball & Gerry Curran Councillors ward initiative fund that allows Councillors a limited budget to spend on important local issues.

The proposals are:

1.       From the telephone box down to the vehicular access into Poole House  40metres x 1.5 metres

2.       From the vehicular access to Poole House down towards Garrick Road junction (to stop at the double yellow lines)

3.       Reinstate grass verge behind the yellow lines.


We would hope that this work would be carried out later this year.

Split bags Kelston View

We have asked for the mess that was created outside Bath City Farm on Kelston View to be cleared up.

Bags were placed outside of the farm entrance after the rubbish collection and one was split covering the area with litter.

We have asked for two issues to be addressed,

1, The Farm to put out waste at the correct time.

2, To ensure that there is no food waste to be put out in bags.

Redland Park Road sign

Curo housing have confirmed that the Numbering sign that was removed from the area close to 122 Redland park that was dangerous being repaired and will soon be replaced.

We would like to thank Curo for their prompt action with regards to this sign.

If you are aware of any other signs that need dealing with then please let us know.

Garage mess Clyde Gardens

I am currently chasing the problem of a garage in Clyde Gardens in Twerton that has been left full of rubbish with the garage door off.

The garage looks to be abandoned and know one seems to know who owns it.

 I am concern that the garage is a fire hazard and I am asking for it to be secured in advance of getting it fully cleared.

Good News at Hanna Close

Curo housing have confirmed that the action they are taking is making an improvement to the local area.

After I made complaints last month the rubbish has been cleared from behind the garage block and the untaxed van has now gone.

The user of the garage has been reminded of the need to respect the neighbours rights to privacy and not to carry out works on stock cars.

The owner of the trailer is being pursued and will be asked to remove it.
