Temporary closure of Bristol Bath Cycle Path
South Gloucestershire Council will be closing the path for maintenance between the Avon Valley railway station at Bitton and the River Avon bridge. The path will be closed to all 8a.m. to 5p.m. for 3 days commencing Monday 29th March and it is anticipated work will be completed on Thursday 1st April.
The Council sugest the A431 Bath Road/Kelston Road as an alternative route but members suggest that extra care is taken as this is a very busy road.
Contact Marc Cashmore (tel 01454 863783) for further information.
Ashton - Pill path blocked!
"Around two tonnes of rock"
has blocked the Ashton to Pill cycle path.
Cyclists and walkers are being asked by the National Trust not to attempt to access the cycle
path while the temporary closures are in place, for their own safety.
The path has now been reopened.
Way to go
Over 25 major environmental and social justice groups including CTC, Sustrans and Transport 2000 have this week joined forces to form a coalition called Way to Go to lobby the Government on transport policy.
The coalition is asking tens of thousands of people to send postcards or emails to their MP asking them to tell Transport Secretary, Alistair Darling, to commit to more funding for 12 measures to help reduce traffic levels and improve the environment.
It is extremely important for as many us as possible to do this in order to counteract the strong offensive being drawn up by the motoring and road building lobby.
