An independent review regarding recent active travel changes in Clevedon will get under way next week.

Transport design and engineering experts AECOM are leading the review into the changes at Hill Road and The Beach, which will address concerns that have been raised by local people and businesses.

These include the design and safety of the scheme, access for disabled people and those living adjacent to the scheme, and whether users understand the new arrangements.

It will also look at any impacts on trade and parking.

Two public meetings have already been held to listen to residents’ feedback on the scheme and everyone in the local community is now invited to get involved and share their views in the review.

There will be plenty of opportunities for people to contribute to the process so their experiences of the scheme can inform the review's recommendations.

An online survey will go live at 10am on Monday (14 August) for six weeks, until 11.59pm on Monday 25 September.

A public drop-in event will also take place on Wednesday 6 September if you want to share your views in person.

Drop into Clevedon Community Centre between 11am and 8pm on the day.

Information about the review will also be sent directly to properties on Hill Road, The Beach and surrounding roads.

If you can’t complete the survey online, printed copies will be available throughout the six weeks at Clevedon Library, or by post by calling 01934 888 802. Other formats are available on request. 

Once the review has ended, AECOM will prepare a report for us setting out recommendations.

There will also be a further public meeting in the town in late October for local people to hear about the review's conclusions.

The decisions then made about the future of the scheme will be considered at a meeting of our Executive, which will be open to the public.
