Somer Valley Links – Consultation – Report

During the summer, the West of England Combined Authority in partnership with Bath & North East Somerset Council, held an engagement on transport proposals for “Somer Valley Links”. This project covers travel between Midsomer Norton, Westfield and Radstock and Bath / Bristol along the A37, A362 and A367.  

The proposals include: 

·        Improved bus stops 

·        New and extended bus lanes and improved junctions  

·        New cycling, wheeling and walking routes 

·        Mobility hubs – where people can switch between different types of transport easily. 

Following a six-week period of engagement where they heard from residents and businesses who filled in the questionnaire, attended drop-in events and webinars or sent in correspondence, they are now publishing the engagement report: Engagement Report (haveyoursaywest.co.uk)

If you did take part in the engagement, they would like to thank you for your feedback.  

Somer Valley Links are using the feedback outlined in the report to inform the next stage and refine the proposals and their design. An opportunity will be provided to comment on these designs in a future consultation, which is likely to take place in 2024.
