Spring feels very much in evidence with bright skies, buds on the trees and the daffodils poking their heads up down on the verge by St Lukes Road. As more people in our community get the vaccination and restrictions start to be relaxed, I think we are all very much ready to take a good deep breath and get on with enjoying life around us.
The results of our Residents’ Survey 2020 indicate that TRESA is addressing some of the issues which our community feel are important – air quality, environment, wildlife, as well as thorny issues such as parking, planning and transport. I do hope that we can encourage more of our local residents to join with us in activities and events which will help us to achieve our aims for this year – and who knows we might even get to have a community event IRL at some point!
In the meantime, some interesting reading in this latest edition:
Rewilding – what is it and what can it mean for us in Totterdown?
Hedgehogs – how can we best help these shy nocturnal creatures?
Lockdown lethargy – ideas for all ages on getting active again.
What do Bublé and bubbles have in common – find out what lies behind those soapy bubbles on the fascia at 172 Wells Road!
Here’s hoping that the green shoots of Spring herald promise of a bright year ahead for all of us!
