Councillor Contact details

Twelve months ago Tim Ball and Sarah Moore were elected to represent the residents of Twerton & Whiteway on Bath and North East Somerset Council.

They would both like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that helped to achieve this and also express their gratitude to all the residents that voted for them.

The past year has been eventful and the current challenges we are all facing has meant that not everything they want to achieve for the ward is possible at this time.  However, Tim and Sarah remain focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for Twerton, Whiteway and all the residents that live here.

They are continuing to work hard despite not being able to visit as many people and hold their monthly ward surgeries, however, if you need help, they are both contactable through social media, email and on the telephone. Here are their contact details:

Bus Shelter repairs

We are really pleased to confirm that the damaged bus shelters across the area are finally set to be repaired.

We have had confirmation that mesh, like this shown in the shelter on Haycombe Drive, will be replacing the sections which have had the glass smashed and work is scheduled to start week commencing 16th March 2020.

Bus Stop lighting - Boyce Close

After recently being contacted by a resident expressing concern about the lack of lighting at the Bus Stop by Boyce Close, I have been in contact with council officers.

The lamp post by this bus stop is faulty but is also obstructed by the trees.  The teams are working together to clear the trees from the top of the lamp post and will then fix the lamp post to hopefully give more light.

I will provide more details on timescales for this work as soon as I have them.

Keeping up to date

Tim Ball and Sarah Moore are committed to keeping all residents updated on what is going on around the area and across the city.

With this in mind but with an increased effort to reduce the amount of paper being posted through your letterboxes, we will be changing the number of paper Focus Newsletters to quarterly.

However, please be assured Tim and Sarah will not be reducing the level of work they carry out around the ward and will therefore be producing a monthly e-news Focus, which all residents in Twerton & Whiteway Ward can register to receive by sending their email address to sssomoore@gmail.com.

We appreciate not everyone will have access to the internet or have an email address and therefore, if you know of a relative, friend or neighbour that would still like to receive a paper copy of our monthly update, please do let us know and we will do our best to get this over to them.

Please be assured the email addresses provided will only be used for the circulation of the monthly e-news Focus and not for any other political or non-political correspondence.

The first e-news Focus will be released in March.

The regular annual ward survey will also be carried out over the next few months, so please do let us know what is affecting you in your street.

N.B. There may also be an increase in paper documentation during election periods.
