Those of you out and about after 8pm will be aware of some road works at the Smallway junction.

This will also affect residents during the day on the 30th and 31st October – please read on for more information.

As part of North Somerset Council’s commitment to improving the district’s roads, we will soon be carrying out drainage and pavement investigation.

Works are anticipated to start on 27th October 2025 for an anticipated duration of 5 days. To carry out the works safely, we will need to close the junction of Kent Road (South) between the hours of 20:00 and 06:00.

We will also be closing Smallway (between Bristol Road and Kent Road) during the daytime on 30th and 31st October between the hours of 09:00 and 16:00.

We have advised residents that there will be workforce located within the road closure who will be happy to advise them on access arrangements. Residents in Kent Road and particularly Sheppy’s Mill will have access to their homes still. We have asked resident to please reduce vehicle movements (where possible) and be patient whilst the workforce makes access arrangements for them.

With any investigation works of this nature, there will be certain activities that may create noise. We will try to end keep any disruption to a minimum during the works for the local residents. See attached maps for traffic signals and diversions here and here.

All Souls Service

Each year, the Church sets aside a special time to remember loved ones who have gone before us. Our All Souls Service is a gentle and reflective occasion, where we read aloud the names of those we wish to remember, light candles in their memory, and spend time together in prayer and thanksgiving.

Everyone is warmly welcome, you do not need to have had a funeral at our churches to take part. If you would like a loved one’s name included, please email it to admin@newcreationchurches.org.uk.
By sending us a name, you are consenting for it to be read aloud in church and shared on the livestream of the service.

In recent years we have also followed the beautiful South American tradition of placing lit tealights on graves in the churchyard after the service, and all are welcome to join in this act of remembrance.
