Jubilee Stone Footpath Application – Update

Cllr Hilary Power has spoken with Elaine Bowman from North Somerset Council who is dealing with our application to have the 'Jubilee Stone' track designated as a footpath. You will remember that we submitted 100+ statements to support our application. Unfortunately Elaine has advised Cllr Power that with the volume of work and other applications we are unlikely to have a decision soon. In fact, we may have to wait a year or more. This is very disappointing. However, we would like to be clear that Elaine has been very helpful throughout the process and it is only her lack of resources that has prevented her from dealing with our application yet. Important - if you did not make a statement when we first started the process, you still can. Anything you can tell us about your use of the track across the field between Cherry/ Piggy Lane and the [...]

Updated statement on parking from Bristol Airport

"Bristol Airport is meeting with local parish councillors, North Somerset Council and the Police to discuss issues around offsite parking/anti-social parking. This year the Airport contributed £50,000 and a further £50,000 in 2025 to North Somerset Council towards a Planning and Parking Enforcement Officer, to help mitigate the potential impacts arising from unauthorised offsite parking or anti-social parking. Any parking that is causing an obstruction or hazard should be reported to the police via the Avon & Somerset Police website."

Update on parking

Backwell Parish Council have been notified that North Somerset Council (NSC) Parking Services visited Church Lane and the surrounding area this morning. The officer spoke to some local residents and took photos of the cars they believe have been parked in connection with airport parking. NSC Parking Services will attempt to trace the operator involved. Backwell Parish Council have also contacted Avon and Somerset Police to raise our concerns. We would encourage residents to continue collecting data and report as appropriate to the airport via email communitycarparking@bristolairport.com and online to North Somerset Council via their website. If a vehicle is causing an obstruction or parked dangerously, this should be reported to the Police via the 'Report parking issues' form on the Avon and Somerset Police website.

Parking in Backwell

Backwell Parish Council are concerned about the significant increase in inconsiderate parking in our village. This week we have received numerous complaints from our residents particularly in the Church Lane area. The issue appears to be being caused by people seeking alternative parking for the airport and we are not the only village to be suffering from this problem. This issue is likely to exist and will continue whilst the new multi storey car park is being constructed at Bristol Airport. Backwell Parish Council have contacted Bristol Airport directly and have received the following information: This year Bristol Airport has contributed £50,000 and a further £50,000 in 2025 to North Somerset Council towards a Planning and Parking Enforcement Officer. The money has been issued for North Somerset Council to acquire some dedicated resource to mitigate the impacts arising from unauthorised offsite parking or anti-social parking practices. Any inconsiderate or illegal parking [...]
