Next PACT meeting, Thursday 29 July, 7.30 p.m., Horsecastle Chapel, agenda here.
Yatton Parish Council has published its Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2010, here.
If you have received your new recycling containers then the new recycling system starts for you on Tuesday 20 July. Recycling, including glass, paper and cans, but also plastic bottles, juice cartons, and all types of cardboard, will be collected every week. Food waste, in your new food waste container, will also be collected every week. Non-recycling rubbish will be collected on Tuesday 20 July and every two weeks after that. Green garden bags (no cardboard in these any more) will be collected on Tuesday 27 July and every two weeks after that.
Don't worry if you have been stocking up plastic bottles and juice cartons: North Somerset Council will be running extra lorries in the first couple of weeks to collect recycling. If you don't have room in your boxes you can put recycling (except glass, which should always go in your boxes) in bags.
New containers will be delivered to 'Stage 2' areas, including High Street, Yatton, and roads off the High Street, in August and will start on the new system in September. Any questions or problems, phone 01934 888802 or email streetsandopenspaces@n-somerset.gov.uk . More information here.
North Somerset Council has removed the recycling banks from the Co-op car park, at the request of the Co-op. The nearest recycling banks are now in Clevedon. Bear in mind that you can put glass, paper and cans in your recycling box and that as from 20 July (if you are in a 'Stage 1' area) you can also put plastic bottles and juice cartons in your boxes.
Every household in the parish will receive a questionnaire on the redevelopment of Hangstones pavilion. We are very anxious to hear your views so please complete and return the questionnaire as soon as you can. We also have a Powerpoint presentation on the options for Hangstones pavilion which has been delivered to various groups. Unfortunately it is too big to go on the website but please contact us if you want a copy.
There have been several
improvements recently at Hangstones field, owned by the Parish Council. The untidy mounds by the BMX track have been cleared, making the track safer to use and improving visibility. An expert hedge-layer has laid a hedge behind the skatepark and fencing elsewhere has been improved. The long grass near Stowey Road has been cut back to make management easier. We also intend to construct a path from the access between 38 and 40 Stowey Road to the car park. The path would be suitable for wheelchairs and buggies (using the same material as the Strawberry Line). If you have other suggestions for improvements at Hangstones, or any of our other properties, please
contact us.
Yatton Junior Football Club has now completed work on its project to build an all-weather pitch on the Rock Road sports field. The pitch will be available for community use when not needed by the football club. The project also includes replacing the car park, available to all users of the field; this part of the project has been partially funded by the Parish Council.
More work has taken place on the footpath between Stowey Road, Yatton (south of Hangstones), and Streamcross, Claverham, to improve accessibility, including the replacement of stiles by kissing gates. This work was funded jointly by the Parish Council and North Somerset Council.
Yatton Parish Council and Avon & Somerset Police have written an Action Plan for Hangstones field and its neighbourhood. You can see a copy here.
