Traffic Alert Westerleigh to Yate road to be closed for 10 days from 30 september

Traffic Alert Westerleigh to Yate road to be closed for 10 days from 30 september 

Between 30th September and 9th October, Westerleigh Road will be completely closed at the double railway arches so that Network Rail can carry out urgent repairs on the bridges.

This means that for ten days you won’t be able to get through from Westerleigh to Yate in either direction. Unfortunately it’s not possible for Network Rail to close just half the road because of the size of the machinery they need to use.

There will be warning signs about the closure at the entrance to Nibley Lane from Badminton Road and at the Shire Way roundabout and a diversion will be in operation.

This is likely to put pressure on other roads in the area, so please allow extra time if your journey to work takes you that way.

Recycling Services

South Gloucestershire residents are set to have even more opportunities to recycle their household waste, following a majority decision by South Glos councillors. Plans to include mixed plastics, drinks cartons and small electrical items within kerbside recycling services from next year were approved by members of the Communities Committee, as part of the council’s Waste Strategy for 2013-19.
The proposed new traffic calming measures for Westerleigh Road and Shorthill will not now put to a South Glos Council Committee until November. The planning officer also says that there are additional costs which cannot be found this financial year.
Westerleigh Parish Council is planning to arrange a meeting, with some parishioners and SGC planners invited to attend.

The next Frampton Cotterell, Westerleigh, Coalpit Heath & Iron Acton Safer Stronger Community Group meeting is to be held on Tuesday 24 September 2013, 7.30pm at Iron Acton Village Hall (High Street, Iron Acton, BS37 9UH)  and we would like to encourage residents in the areas of Frampton Cotterell, Westerleigh, Coalpit Heath and Iron Acton to come along.

The Parish Council website  cannot currently be updated with minutes of the PC and committee meetings. If you want a copy, email the Clerk at westerleighpc@btinternet.com
