Street Care using the Road to Nowhere

The council's Street Care team are going to be using the end of the Road to Nowhere nearest the Badminton Road offices as a temporary storage and compound area to support the implementation of the new waste strategy. Initially the site will be used to store vehicles overnight while the existing yard at Dean Road is re-developed. The site will then be used to store the new recycling vehicles and finally will provide space to support the changeover of household bins. All the activity is temporary, they will be off the site by the end of 2017 and no waste will be stored on the site at any time.

This week they have cleared the overgrown vegetation and will be laying some additional gravel over the next few days before securing the front and back with a fence to link the existing side fences. The large rocks will stay in place at the entrance until the site is fully secured. Once in use there will be additional security.

Council seeking views on sale of trading estate land

South Glos Council is seeking views on the possible disposal of land at Culvert Avenue on the Badminton Road Trading Estate.

It was was originally acquired by the then local council to construct a road but has been unused for many years. There has been recent interest from the adjoining owner so the council would like to hear your comments on the future of this site. A report on it will then be prepared with a recommendation as to whether, and how, it should be retained or disposed of. You can find out more on the South Glos website. The deadline for comments is 27th February.
