For those wishing to comment on the plans for Congresbury, please visit this website: https://n-somerset.inconsult.uk/Reg19AddSites/viewCompoundDoc?docid=15643252&sessionid=&voteid=&partId=15644084
Consultation-Paper-on-Additional-Sites-February-2025-accessible-version-v3Have your say on 20mph proposals for Congresbury
North Somerset Council has launched a consultation on the plans, aimed at improving pedestrian safety and supporting more active and sustainable forms of travel, such as walking and cycling.
Congresbury residents are being asked for their views on proposals for a 20mph zone in the village.
The preliminary designs include:
- – 20mph gateway signs at the High Street, Brinsea Road entrance to the village from the Langford direction
- – traffic calming speed cushions between the 20mph gateway signs and a zebra crossing near Stonewall Lane, which would be raised
- – new 20mph speed limits on certain roads including residential streets off Brinsea Road and the High Street, Broad Street, Kent Road, and Wrington Lane
- – repeat 20mph signage in the affected areas.
Local people have until midnight on Friday 11 April 2025 to view the proposals and have their say by completing the survey online at: www.n-somerset.gov.uk/congresburyspeedchange
Anyone unable to access the online survey can collect a paper copy from Congresbury Parish Council at Orchard House, The Old School Rooms, Station Road, BS49 5DX, and return it to the office before the survey closes.
Cllr Hannah Young, Executive Member for Highways and Transport at North Somerset Council, said: “Introducing a 20mph zone in Congresbury would help to encourage more people to choose to walk or cycle in their local area.
“I get lots of requests from residents across North Somerset for 20mph schemes so I’m pleased to bring this package of measures forward for people to have their say and would encourage everyone to take part before the survey closes.”
Cllr Dan Thomas, Ward Member for Congresbury and Puxton, said: “I have long been concerned about excessive speeding though our village. A dedicated group of residents and I have been campaigning to change this since I was first elected. These proposals for a 20mph speed limit and traffic calming measures will deliver safer roads for vulnerable users and improve quality of life for residents. Please take the opportunity to respond to this consultation and have your say on this important issue.”

Scheme for 90 Houses Behind Park Road & Mulberry Road
Congresbury’s residents are being urged to attend next Wednesday’s meeting of North Somerset Council’s planning committee to demonstrate their opposition to a new housing scheme.
The scheme, for up to 90 houses on a field behind Park and Mulberry Roads, has been hanging over residents for more than 18 months while land agents M7 tried to answer more than 1,000 objections to the plan.
Because the officer has recommended approval, Congresbury’s district councillor Dan Thomas has referred the matter to the council’s planning committee.
Said CRAG’s Mary Short: “This would be a high density, urban development on an ecologically, historically and socially important site which is totally inappropriate.
“Also, M7 seems to be trying to influence the decision by promising to build a new surgery. Their previous attempt at this was not supported by either the NHS or Mendip Vale Medical Practice, so it is a pointless offer.”
The Planning Committee meeting is scheduled for 2.30pm next Wednesday at Weston town hall, entrance through the old building.
