🚗 REPORTS OF ANTI-SOCIAL DRIVING
I've continued to receive reports from residents about vehicles racing and speeding in the evenings around:
- A370
- A371
- The Runway
Aside from being dangerous, it is causing significant noise disruption for ...people living nearby.
This has gone on for far too long, and the issue appears to be getting worse.
I have written to both the Police and Crime Commissioner and North Somerset Council, calling on them to prioritise tackling this with a robust, long-term, and coordinated approach.
If you are affected, please keep reporting specific dates and times to the police via 101 or online.
I will share updates from both organisations as soon as I receive them.

To wake up this morning and see the videos of this fire close to where I live has shocked me.
I'm incredibly grateful for the actions of Avon Fire & Rescue Service.

I've had a minor mishap resulting in a fractured fingertip and damaged tendon, meaning I'm currently sporting a rather fashionable finger splint.
While I'm still managing my council business I am finding that typing and digital admin are taking me a little longer than ...usual.
If you've emailed me and are waiting for a reply, I will get back to you as soon as I can .

Really pleased to see this partnership working that will see the Grove Park pond restored.
Happy to have supported it at committee.
Meet Yue Parkinson your Labour candidate for the Hutton and Locking ward by election on North Somerset Council.
The election will take place on Thursday 10th September.
🗑️ TWO NEW BINS: RUNWAY PLAY AREA
You may have noticed recently two new blue bins in the Runway play area. These blue bins have been installed by Weston super Mare town council following feedback I and residents have given.
Weston super Mare town council took over the ...management of this play area from North Somerset Council about 2 weeks ago, and they have immediately put more bins in - which is great and a good example of why I believe town and parish council are better placed to run play areas than North Somerset Council.
The black public bin outside the play areas remains North Somerset Council though.
I know the play area at Westland road (owned by Persimmon Homes) has no bin and I've been discussing this with Persimmon Homes, alongside the member of parliament for Weston-super-Mare and I'm hoping I'll have a positive update on this very soon.
