Housing Needs In Abbots Leigh

“What are they?”

Come to a Parish Meeting at 7pm on Thursday 26th June 2008, in the Village Hall

There will be presentations by:

Brunelcare on Sheltered Housing
&
English Rural Housing Association on Affordable Housing

This will be followed by an open discussion on housing need in its broadest meaning.
Whatever your views or questions please come and join in the discussion.

Note: The Parish Plan Questionnaire (carried out in mid 2004) drew comments both for and against the following types of development and/or future need:
  • Smaller Houses,
  • Affordable / subsidised housing,
  • Large family houses,
  • Small groups of houses,
  • Flats,
  • Sheltered housing.
What are our thoughts in 2008?

The Parish Plan and the 2004 Questionnaire extracts refering to housing are available . Provision was made for you to publish your views and opinions and/or to give notice of any questions you wish to raise.  

Recycling and Rubbish


REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE!

Do your bit, reduce your rubbish and recycle as much as you can.


  • Don’t forget that you can now put thin cardboard packaging such as cereal boxes in the green box.
  • Plastic Type 1 and Type 2 can be recycled at Waitrose, Portishead as well as the recycling centre at Black Rock Quarry and numerous places in Bristol (e.g. Sainsbury’s on Winterstoke Road).
  • Don’t forget to also recycle Tetrapak and similar drinks and soup cartons at Waitrose Portishead.


Refuse and Recycling (green boxes) for the majority of Abbots Leigh and Leigh Woods are on Wednesdays except Manor Lane and Manor Road beyond Manor Close which are Thursdays. It is the same week for the different recycling collections for everyone.
