PUBLIC MEETING – A37 PENSFORD CONCERNS

Our Ward Councillor Paul May has organised a public meeting in Pensford to follow-up villagers’ concerns with Kelvin Packer from Bath & North East Somerset Council Traffic and his team.

The meeting is on Wednesday 19th July  at 2.00 pm in the Memorial Hall and Paul May will be in the chair.

The meeting will be in two parts (a) Pensford Hill and other improvements plus (b) a separate discussion about the A37 / Belluton junction.

The meeting  is intended  to bring ideas for local discussion but not a specific scheme that cannot be changed. Kelvin wants to be positive and is willing to change to suit the local community views.

Please save the date and try to attend if you can.  Also, as the Parish Council  can’t contact everyone individually, please do pass on this announcement to other residents.

Thank you

Sue Grimes
Councillor
Publow-with-Pensford Parish Council
