  • Traffic and Transport in Bradford on Avon the Evidence
    11 January 2019 Main Report v 2.0 Traffic and Transport in Bradford on Avon The Evidence © KERB 1 11 January 2019 Main Report v 2.0 To rebalance the use of roads to promote the health and well-being of residents and visitors, and economic viability of the town © KERB 2 11 January 2019 Main Report v 2.0 Executive Summary Bradford on Avon has occupied a pivotal position within the local and regional transport network for at least 2,000 years. Today, it lies at the centre of a regional trunk road system that stretches as far as the A303 in the south and the M4 to the north. In December 2017, the Town Council, with support from local Wiltshire councillors and non- councillor committee members, devised the following outcome; To rebalance the use of roads to promote the health and well-being of residents and visitors and economic viability of the town. The Bedeman/Jennison Review found that the majority of the traffic is through-traffic, not local, with some three out of five vehicles that cross the bridge originating from outside the town. This is highly significant, and requires a total re-think of the approach to tackling these traffic problems The health, social and economic cost this traffic brings in its wake is unsustainable. This includes include congestion, air and noise pollution, intimidation of pedestrians and cyclists, and over- parking. This is not conducive to the wellbeing of our residents, young and old, nor to leisure, business and tourism. Any attempt to reduce congestion and improve the flow of traffic through and around the town should include deterrents to through traffic.

  • George Herbert Walk from Salisbury Cathedral to St Andrew's Church, Lower Bemerton, 2
    © 2010 George Herbert Walk Salisbury Cathedral to St Andrew’s Church, Lower Bemerton (2¼ miles of easy walking) We start our walk at the West end of Salisbury Cathedral, under the statue of George Herbert (1). If you face the West front, look to the right hand side of the main door. The statue of George Herbert is looking South to the left hand side of the smaller door. To attempt a detailed description of Salisbury Cathedral, one of the finest Gothic Cathedrals in Europe is beyond the scope of this walk but before starting the walk, you may wish to admire the interior of the Cathedral and see the stained glass window illustrating George Herbert’s poem ‘Love- George Herbert Statue Joy’ with vines illustrated in all three panels. The window is at the East end of the North Aisle beyond the choir. George Herbert is shown praying in the bottom left panel. Unfortunately the window is partly obscured by an undistinguished monument. George Herbert Window Returning to the West front of the Cathedral, we turn North and walk towards the High Street gate admiring the fine buildings of the Cathedral Close. Mompesson House of 1701 is open to the public and faces a green to our left as we proceed towards the High Street. As we go through the gate we can see, straight ahead of us, St Thomas’ church built for the builders of the Cathedral to worship in. Continue along the High Street looking at Mitre House (2) on the right as you reach the traffic lights.
