✅ CASEWORK WIN

For several months I've been battling to get a single person's discount reinstated and a £70 penalty (for failure to supply information requested by the council) removed from a resident's council tax bill.

The resident never received the ...documentation nor the information request, but none of their circumstances had changed. Despite saying this, the discount was removed and the penalty added.

After taking this up on behalf of the resident I'm pleased to have received the news that this resident's single person discount was reinstated and the £70 penalty waived.

I share these stories about some of the casework I do as a way to help people know what types of issues their councillor can support with.

If you're a resident in the ward of Winterstoke and have an issue then feel free to get in touch with me, and I'll try my best to resolve it.

Note: Winterstoke ward broadly covers the areas of Haywood Village, Weston Village, parts of Locking Castle, Hutton Moor Lane, Maltlands, Puttingthorpe Drive.

It's been confirmed that the fire that started on grass near Locking Farm Industrial Estate was started deliberately.

Let's hope those responsible are found and held accountable for their actions.

🙏THANK YOU

As fire fighters leave the scene of the grass fire near Locking Farm Industrial Estate I just wanted to say thank you to all the emergency services involved in making the area safe, and for keeping residents all informed.

Waking up early in the morning to police in ...face masks knocking on doors, and smelling smoke, was not something I expected this morning.

I understand that fire fighters were called upon from all over the area to help tackle the fire - thank you to everyone of you, and to all other emergency services who assisted.

However, I'm saddened to hear that some of the businesses have been devastated by the fire - people's lives turned upside down.

If you are facing particular difficulties due to the fire and need support please do contact the office of Daniel Aldridge MP
