Rollerbump Disco noise issues

We note noise disturbance from the site, and are asking our councillors for details of the decision made to grant permission for the site with no prior consultation of the residents affected.

Darkness Rising

Over the summer Darkness Rising was filmed on Redcliffe Wharf and at Reddliffe Parade East car park.
The production team offered a donation to RWRA due to the disruption and noise caused but has not, as yet, been honoured.
We are following this up.

S106 Environmental Improvement Monies

BCC currently holds £57,077.64 for Environmental improvements, and £22831.07 for revised parking measures on streets surrounding the Holland House Hotel.
The committee is to ask BCC what plans they have for this money and to make suggestion on what we think would make good improvements.

Paco Tapas

Paco Tapas is creating noise outdoors beyond their license agreement time. The license is until 22.00, but noise can go on until 23.00.
We have liaised with the Council, and spoken to the enforcement team regarding this.
Disruption is mostly felt by residents of Bathurst Basin.
Paco Tapas / Casa Mia odours are experienced by residents of The General. We are engaging with The General owners (City & Country) on how to manage the odour problem.

Odours from The Ostrich food outlet are noticeable by residents of The General.
We have contacted them, and they are promising to resolve.

We are looking to further enhance the area for community use:

  • We are requesting the installation of a big belly bin in the car park to reduce littering
  • Create a new bed and install planters in October.
