Pound Green Phone Box
We have accepted the offer from British Telecom to purchase the former phone box on Pound Green for £1. After some refurbishment, the plan is to turn this into a community library facility and we are very grateful to Cllr Carol Molloy who will be setting this up. More details to follow but if anyone wishes to help please let me know via email to clerk@cleeveparishcouncil.gov.uk .
NSC Recycling Centre Booking Scheme
The booking system for our Weston-super-Mare Recycling Centre has launched today (Monday 2 February) 
From now on, you’ll need to book a slot in advance to visit the Weston Recycling Centre.
Introducing a booking system means we can stop people who don’t live in North Somerset from using the site, cut emissions from idling and waiting vehicles, and keep the site safe and efficient.
Booking is quick and easy. You can:
book your visit through our website at https://orlo.uk/pL5z7 or book your visit through our FREE North Somerset Council app (link to download in the comments 
) book up to two weeks ahead
or book just 10 minutes before your slot if there’s space availableYou can also book on behalf of someone else and telephone bookings are available for people without internet access – you’ll just need their info including details of their vehicle and the type of waste they’re bringing.
Slots are 15 minutes long. Once you book, you’ll get a booking confirmation email with a booking reference. When you get to the recycling centre, you’ll be greeted by a member of staff who’ll check you in and confirm your booking.
If you book a slot and then no longer need it, please cancel your slot so someone else can use it.
After a monitoring period at Weston, we’ll look to extend the system to our Portishead and Backwell sites from Monday 2 March.

Traffic Strategy for Cleeve
30 mph limit through Cleeve
As at November 2025 we are still pushing for the 30-mph limit to be extended from that proposed and we await further clarification. NSC have committed to put in place a 30-mph limit for the “centre of the village” but we remain committed to pressing for this to be extended.
Updates will be provided as they become available.
Fly Tipping
Let’s tackle it together!
Fly tipping – the illegal dumping of waste – can pollute the environment and cost significant amounts of council taxpayers money to clear away.
All householders and businesses have a duty of care for any waste that they produce.
This means that you must dispose of it legally and only use licenced waste carriers. Fly tipping can carry a maximum fine of £50,000 or even more if the case goes to Crown Court a prison sentence of up to five years.
Any waste that you pay to have removed from your home is classed as commercial waste and needs to be disposed of accordingly.
When having waste collected from your home or business remember the S.C.R.A.P rule.
- Suspect – If it doesn’t feel right then it probably isn’t.
- Check – All waste carriers need to be registered with the Environment Agency. If they collect waste for payment, then they need to be registered as a high tier waste carrier.
Check that they are registered at https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/search-waste-carriers-broker - Refuse– unsolicited offers to take your waste.
- Ask – questions as to where they will take your waste.
- Paperwork – ALWAYS get a receipt from the person collecting your waste including their business details.
If your waste is found fly tipped and you can’t provide documentation showing who collected it, you could end up with a fine.
