SVL Consultation
Somer Valley Links Consultation
Just a reminder that the closure date for submitting comments on the above consultation is approaching.
Several parish residents have complained that it is proving impossible for them to make complex comments on the on-line consultation form. For example, many residents believe that the current proposals would adversely affect the Post Office, the School and parking spaces but the on-line form does not allow any feedback about this.
I have been informed that the best way to make such comments is to email Kate Hobson, Somerlink Project Coordinator for Bath & North East Somerset at SomerValley_Links@bathnes.gov.uk.
Please pass this information on to anyone who you think might wish to know.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF PUBLOW WITH PENSFORD PARISH COUNCIL HELD ON MONDAY 10th FEBRUARY 2025 IN THE MEMORIAL HALL, PENSFORD
Somer Valley Links
A consultation event took place today (27 February) at Pensford Memorial Hall. The scheme involves more than just Pensford, and you can find full details of the entire scheme here
There was a large attendance and a lot of interest from local residents at this event. Some parish councillors and our ward councillor were present. Residents asked a large number of questions and expressed concerns.
The main item of direct relevance to our parish concerned Pensford Bridge. The proposal is to install two upgraded bus shelters (including real time information and seating), a shared mobility option (car club or bike hire, for example), widened and improved footways, improved pedestrian crossing points over Church Street and Publow Lane and a cycle stand.
You can view a diagram of the proposed Pensford Bridge scheme here
Bath and North East Somerset Council is consulting on their proposals and residents can complete their questionnaire on-line here. The public consultation closes at midnight on Sunday 16th March.
Publow with Pensford Parish Council will be submitting an official response to the proposals and we will consider this at our meeting on 10th March. We invite feedback from local residents and others to assist us with our response. If you would like to make your views known to the Parish Council please send them by email to chair@publow-with-pensford-pc.gov.uk by latest 5th March.
