Notice of Vacancy
North Somerset Council has launched its consultation on the Parking Management Strategy and Action Plan. Open for seven weeks, the consultation asks about proposed parking charges being considered for car parks and on-street locations in Portishead, Nailsea and Clevedon. It also asks about plans for a new short-stay parking permit. It is hoped the short-stay permit would promote local shopping and benefit business and the economy. Consultation feedback will be used to help North Somerset Council understand how people park now and what parking charge prices, locations and hours of operation could look like. It will also help set the terms of any annual short-stay permit. Councillor Hannah Young, Executive Member for Highways and Transport at North Somerset Council, said “We know that people have lots of different views on these proposals, so whether you are a resident, a visitor, business or anyone else who parks in these areas, it’s [...]
North Somerset Council has now launched its consultation on proposals to switch to three-weekly collections of non-recyclable (black bin) rubbish, in a bid to reduce waste, boost recycling rates and cut costs. This year the council will need to spend about £5 million disposing of black bin rubbish. However, a waste analysis found that almost half (45%) of black bin contents could have been recycled instead, which would have generated an income to help pay for vital local services. Consultation is open until Tuesday 7 May 2024, and local people are invited to fill in the questionnaire online at www.n-somerset.gov.uk/getinvolved. For anyone who would prefer a paper questionnaire, these are available at libraries across North Somerset. Not only will the proposed changes save council tax payers’ money, it will also help protect our environment. The council can only consider feedback received through the questionnaire, so please complete yours and make [...]

News from North Somerset Council: Four crossings are to be upgraded on a popular cycling and walking route between Backwell, Nailsea and Bristol. The Festival Way is the most successful active travel corridor in North Somerset with about 1,600 leisure and commuter trips a day on foot and by bicycle. It connects Backwell and Nailsea to Bristol and also links the villages of Long Ashton and Flax Bourton to the local secondary schools.
