Bath & North East Somerset Council has announced the launch of the Somer Valley Links (SVL) public consultation, which aims to gather valuable feedback from the community on proposed improvements to transport links across B&NES. The consultation runs from Tuesday 4th February until Sunday 16th March.
You can find out more information here: www.bathnes.gov.uk/SVL.
The (SVL) project aims to improve travel between Midsomer Norton, Radstock and Bath via the A367, Bristol via the A37, and the A362 link road between them, through better bus infrastructure and enabling more walking, wheeling and cycling. Previously led by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (WECA), and funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), it sits within the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) programme.
The proposals include eight new mobility hubs, significant bus infrastructure improvements with 22 bus stop upgrades, nearly a kilometre of new bus lanes, and substantial changes to the walking, wheeling and cycling network.
