Despite gloomy forecasts, the Riverside Picnic went ahead on 16th Sep and was greatly enjoyed by all who attended - once again some excellent food on offer brought by those who attended, and more neighbours getting to know each other.
Trish Fosbury, RCV's Chair, thanked Henry and Jane Brown and their band of helpers for their enormous efforts in bringing about a great community happening.
As already reported, Henry and Jane have called for a discussion at the next Riverside Community Voice AGM about the use of the spaces on the Riverside, to ensure that they are managed to the benefit of the people who live here.
Coffee#1 Opening
Coffee shop#1 owned by Brains, Wales' biggest brewery and hospitality company, opened in Royal View on 15th August with the Pershore Town Crier standing on Victoria Bridge, and staff with trays of enticing goodies standing outside to attract custom.
Shortly after the advertised opening time of 11.00 the place was teeming with Riversiders keen to sample the offer (which included a complimentary hot drink).
If the initial reaction was anything to go by, this coffee shop will be a hit and a welcoming and comfortable place to have a drink and meet and chat or read your morning newspaper or surf and sip (Wifi on its way shortly).

PARKING
• Crest, Pinnacle and Premier Parking discussed visitor parking spaces. New, more secure, permits will be issued to replace existing ones in July. The success of this new system will be assessed in future months.
BENCHES ON ELIZABETH PARADE
• The benches on Elizabeth Parade are due to be replaced (the ones currently in situ were not the original ones specified).
PROVISION OF A NOTICEBOARD AT BATH RIVERSIDE
• Crest is looking at the possibility of an estate office for Pinnacle at ground level somewhere on the development.
VICTORIA BRIDGE
• Two drain covers at the northern end of Victoria Bridge Road have been removed and replaced with timber covers. B&NES has cordoned off the area and is currently handling this. (Ed note - we think this refers to the southern
end of the Bridge)
ART STRATEGY UPDATE
• Residents will be updated on all artworks via a leaflet in the Summer.
THE PARK
• The new park between Sovereign Point and Royal View is due for completion by the end of the year.
