Backwell was one of the first villages to develop our neighbourhood plan and have it examined and approved. It can be viewed Adopted Neighbourhood Plan 2015. You can view the Examiners Report October 2014. The referendum results are available. In February 2019, we reviewed the delivery of the Neighbourhood Plan, and the report showed that the agreed developments are being implemented at the expected rate.
We are very proud to have three excellent schools here all of whom have recently been awarded ‘OUTSTANDING’ by OFSTED. This has been achieved by not only the hard work of the teachers, but also the pupils. The three state schools in the area are: Backwell School, Backwell Junior School and West Leigh Infants School. Backwell School Following a recent Ofsted inspection, Backwell School and its Sixth Form have been judged ‘Outstanding’.

The Parish Council have been trying to reduce speeding in Backwell and traffic calming measures (including a 20mph speed limit) are being installed into Station Road at present. In addition we have had a "Vehicle Activated Sign" in Rodney Road for a few weeks. On 28 August 2018 the sign was moved to Dark Lane where, as well as warning drivers, it will generate data on speeding both before and after the start of the school term. We expect the sign to be there for 2-3 weeks. Information obtained from the sign and its possible location later in the year will be presented at the next Full Council Meeting.
