Bathwick has been promised two new litter bins from BathNES council. One is to replace a missing bin on Bathwick Hill opposite Cleveland Walk, the other a completely new installation opposite Copseland on the top of the hill.

Cllr Coombes and the Bathwick Hill residents’ association have a long list of potential new bin sites, including the top of Madiera Walk and near King Edwards School. However, considering Tory budget cuts and the existing backlog at the bin department, two new bins is a minor success!

The new bin at the top of Bathwick Hill will coincide with the bus stop for the University footpath, just beyond the North Road junction. There has long been a need for a bin here, both for alighting bus passengers and walkers. Now that the request has been approved, this site is on the list for contractors to install.
