🚧 8th JUNE - PARTIAL CLOSURE WALFORD AVENUE
From Monday 8th June, for approx 22 weeks, there will be a partial closure of Walford Avenue from the junction of Queensway to the junction of Pastures Avenue.
Traffic will still be able to turn left from Queensway into Walford ...Avenue, only.
I've had a couple of questions about this so you can see a copy of the map below with the red line outlining what's closed.
The suggested alternative route is Queensway, Wansbrough Road and the unclosed part of Walford Avenue.

🛝LACK OF BIN: WESTLAND ROAD PARK
I know there's a continuing sense of frustration that the newly built park at Westland Road (Haywood Village) has no litter bin which means litter is often left around the park.
The park is currently owned by Persimmon Homes, and is not the... responsibility of either North Somerset Council or Weston Town Council.
I made an initial approach to Persimmon Homes but that wasn't successful, so subsequently both Dan Aldridge MP and I have jointly written to the Chief Executive of Persimmon Homes and asked for a litter bin to be installed and emptied on a regular basis.
Hopefully Persimmon Homes considers this request favourably, and I'll keep you updated.
