More roads to be resurfaced

Councillors Tim Ball and Sarah Moore are pleased to confirm more roads in Twerton and Whiteway are set to be resurfaced over to coming year.

With over half the roads in the ward being resurfaced over the past 5 years, the Highways team have confirmed that both Woodhouse Road and Rosewarn Close are on the schedule for resurfacing over the next year.

We will confirm more details about dates and logistics as soon as they have been confirmed.

Better road surfaces was an election commitment that both Tim and Sarah made last year and continue to pursue.

We are also hopeful to have some further road news after next month's Council budget meeting.

Pennyquick Park - Further updates

We are pleased to confirm the 4th piece of outdoor gym equipment has now arrived and is due to be installed over the next couple of weeks.

A Ski stepper similar to the one pictured below will be installed alongside the existing outdoor gym equipment next to the basketball court.


We are happy to see the lights on the basketball court have finally been repaired.

We have also had confirmation that 2 picnic benches will be installed shortly.  One of these will have an extended table to enable wheelchair users to be able to enjoy spending time in Pennyquick Park with family and friends.

We hope to bring more news about the play area in Whiteway Green shortly, which we are working closely with Curo on.

unauthorised structure near to carrs wood at Walwyn Close

We have asked that the unauthorised structure near to carrs wood at Walwyn Close is removed as soon as possible. The structure is unstable and a potential fire hazard. We are aware that it was probably put together as a bit of fun but it is dangerous and a hazard.
