The next 'Police and Communities Together' meeting is 16 Dec at 7:30 in Bathwick St Mary's Primary School.

A panel of police, council staff and councillor Nicholas Coombes will answer difficult questions from the audience or at least take notes! Rev Prothero will be chairing again to facilitate residents raising concerns, before voting on the principal priorities of Bathwick. The last meeting was in January and agreed to pursue action on speeding, anti-social behaviour in Sydney Gardens and a pedestrian crossing on Bathwick Hill.

England
The Guardian said
'Tinniswood gives a pungent sense of the wrangling and entangling of
17th-century life'

Sorry this is late notice (i've been away). Nicholas Coombes and Armand Edwards have organised a demonstration outside Tesco on Monday afternoon (16th June) at 4.30pm to protest at the lack of a zebra crossing. All are invited to take part. A petition will be circulated, or sign at http://www.ourcampaign.org.uk/bathwickcrossing

If you have objections to the current Council intentions to increase residents parking permit charges by about 65% and extend the city centre paying times to 8.00pm you may be interested in a 'hearing' on this.
The full details of the proposed changes are available to see at:

The Bathwick Hill Residents Association Easter Egg Hunt will take place this Saturday, in Raby Gardens, from 10am.

Members are also welcome for tea and cake regardless of whether they have children to bring.

10am-4pm
A community project to clear the view at the Sham Castle has been finalised for Thursday 13th March. Already many Bathwick locals have volunteered their time but everyone is welcome. The day will run from 10am until 4pm with volunteers invited to stay for the whole day, but able to drop in and leave when they chose. Although Cllr Coombes has organised this project, many thanks are due to BathNES landscapes department, the Cotswold Conservation Board SDF, BTC, the National Trust, the One World Society and the University of Bath Students’ Union.

AGM: 13th March, 7pm
Our AGM will be held at St Marys Church Hall, at the bottom of Bathwick Hill, on Thursday 13th March, at 7pm. Everyone on the Hill is most welcome. This year we are inviting two speakers: Ben Cross, National Trust Warden for Bathwick and the surrounding area will be talking about the National Trust plans for the Bathwick Hill meadows. We hope this will be followed by a question and answer session with Brendan Tucker, manager of the new Tesco store. Our councillors have also been invited, and wine and nibbles will be served. Raffle tickets will be sold for our Easter Egg Hunt raffle; proceeds to Julian House.

The second Police and Communities Together meeting will take place in Bathwick St Mary's Church Hall on Wednesday 30th February from 7pm. Like the first public meeting, residents are invited to voice their concerns (or celebrations) about local matters related to the Police or BathNES Council. Cllr Nicholas Coombes and representative from the Police and council will attempt to find solutions or explanations.

In October the PaCT meeting agreed that their top priorities were the incomplete Sydney Road traffic scheme, anti-social behaviour in Sydney Gardens and on street parking around Warminster Road. This is your chance to vote for another set to be tackled.
