Bathwick Hill, North Road and Darlington Road will be resurfaced shortly by the newly Liberal Democrat B&NES Council.

Darlington Road, leading to Bathwick St. Mary’s Primary School will be first, over the 17th and 18th September. The middle of North Road will also be done during the school holidays, with closure between 17th and 19th.

The reconstruction of the lower reaches of Bathwick Hil has been rearranged at the request of your local councillors to avoid the heavy traffic of the University terms. It is now expected to be closed for five days in early September. The surface has badly deteriorated in recent years and is in need of conprehensive resurfacing and reconstruction.

While the hill is closed between Sydney Buildings and the roundabout traffic and buses will be diverted via Cleveland Walk and North Road. There will be no service to bus stops downhill of Cleveland Walk for the duration of the closure.
