Waste update from the council

The council today said:

Council Refuse and recycling collection teams are working and collected from main roads this morning and will do from those side streets where pavements are not too icy later on. If residents' waste is not collected as scheduled today they are reminded to take it back off the pavement and put it out for next Tuesday's collection. The Council plans to catch up on those collections missed yesterday (Monday) later this week if conditions are suitable

Pot holes in Kingsway - good news

The council has now filled in these pot holes, on to the next lot

holes in road in Kingsway again

We have had to complain again about holes in the road, surely it would be cheaper to have re-surfaced the whole road.

These were holes that had been patched before that were breaking up.

Ambleside Road/Marsden Road junction seems worse the worse

Don Foster MP comments on announcement of Public Inquiry into Bath Transportation package

“Right from the outset I have argued that more research was needed into these proposals. When I spoke at a Council meeting in September 2008 I expressed my concerns that this project had been tackled the wrong way round, and that consultation with residents had been far from adequate.

“However, the Council refused to listen to my concerns and is now faced with the real possibility of losing almost £60million. Had they gone about the task properly right from the start then we wouldn’t be in this situation.

“Congestion is a huge problem in Bath, what we need are some common sense solutions to deal with traffic issues in the city, such as prioritising getting our children on buses to school.”

Residents see red over blue bags

The blue bags for putting out cardboard waste, have come to Odd Down, well all over Odd Down, we have heard back from a number of residents without bags, if that is you call 394041.

We can't see how it can help, and what about the cost ?
