News on Somerset Sustainable Transport

As you may be aware, Hinkley Point C has been considering a proposal for the development of a shared use cycle path running from Combwich to Hinkley Point. It would provide a safe commuting route for all Hinkley Point workers whilst also providing wider local value – offering a safe and enjoyable route for leisure purposes.

The route would further connect the existing cycle route along the C182 from Combwich towards Cannington and Bridgwater.

Before the application is submitted, there are public consultation events to discuss the proposal and provide your views. Two public consultation events are to be held in separate locations to cover the two key local communities on the proposed route.

• Tuesday 27th September 2022, Otterhampton Village Hall (TA5 2QZ), 1.15pm - 8pm.

• Thursday 6th October 2022, Stogursey Victory Hall (TA5 1PR), 3pm - 7pm.

As these are drop in events, please do come along at any point that is convenient to you within the event opening times.

Further project information will be provided at the events with details on the next steps following the consultation exercise.
