Bridlepath consultation closes

Cllrs Symonds, Martin and Coombes on AQ78

The initial consultation on whether to create a bridleway on AQ78 has now closed.

AQ78 is widely know as the muddy path from Claverton Down to Combe Down. Your local councillors have been working with the community to have the path officially recognised and restored to its original width. The next step is to designate the path as a bridleway and improve the quality of its surface so that it can be used safely by pedestrians and cyclists alike.

During the six week consultation a number of supportive representations were made, including from Bath University Students’ Union. However, a number of objections were also recieved, so the process will not be resolved quickly.
