Petition to reconsider Victoria Park cycle scheme

14 Upvotes

Doubt this will do any good given there's already been a consultation with overwhelmingly negative opinion, which the council ignored, but maybe worth the few seconds it'll take to sign

I did email the local liberal democrats about this too and never got a reply. They've lost my vote for the foreseeable.

If anyone can help, there's an injured pigeon on the pavement of Pierrepont Street overlooking Parade Gardens. It was alive when I saw it but seems unable to walk or fly.

Does the Bath locals know about the Wiltshire Last train lot?

0 Upvotes

Folks from Swindon and Chippenham, and to a lesser extent Trowbridge, Calne and Salisbury do day sessions to bath and then catch the last train back home. Do the Bath residents know about this?

Can you tell when the Wiltshire lot are out day drinking or do you throw them in with the rest of the tourists drinking? Or do you not notice or care at all?

Looking for help with pest control

3 Upvotes

As far as I'm aware, I've got a somewhat unusual rat problem in my home.

I don't think the rats are actually IN my house, as in nesting, but as far as I can tell there's a place somewhere in my house that they can get in and out, and they use this to come into the home and leave.

I've put down traps to no effect because as far as I can tell they're not IN the house right now, but occasionally they come in here and then leave again?

Can anyone recommend a pest control service that would specifically be able to find where they're entering and leaving and seal it up, but nothing else? I tried asking one service in the week but they wanted to charge me £400 for four sessions, and as far as I can tell there's only one actual task that needs doing that SHOULD fix the problem for me.

Roller Derby film screening - starring Elliot Page, Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon

Screening of Whip It (2009) with panel and bonus roller disco! - Sat 17th October

🛼🎬🍿

As part of Bath Film Festival, Bath Roller Derby are collaborating on a screening of the film Whip It at Bath Pavilion. We will be discussing the film, what the sport of roller derby is like today and how you can get involved!

Roller derby is a full contact sport played on quad roller skates, by primarily people of marginalised genders (women and trans people) - it is like rugby on roller skates (there is no ball)!

If you feel inspired by the film, you can also put on some skates and be your own hero at the roller disco afterwards!

Tickets from £7: https://www.bathboxoffice.org.uk/whats-on/rebel-moves-whip-it-nctw

Drew Barrymore's exhilarating coming-of-age comedy starring Elliot Page as Bliss Cavendar, a teenager who swaps beauty pageants for roller derby and discovers a world where strength, individuality and rebellion are celebrated. Funny, fearless and packed with energy, Whip It! has become a cult favourite for good reason.
