The area affected stretched along the south side of the Channel east of Bideford extending up the River Severn almost as far as Gloucester. The worst flooding occurred on the west-facing coast between the mouth of the River Parrett and just north of Weston-Super-Mare.

  • Examination of the West of England Joint Spatial Plan
    Examination of The West of England Joint Spatial Plan Statement of Tickenham Road Action Group (“TRAG’) on Matter 6.3: Is there robust evidence to demonstrate that, having regard to mitigation measures, the de- velopment envisaged in the JSP would not give rise to severe transport-related problems? 1. Introduction 1.1 Tickenham is a village on the B3130 road linking Nailsea to the South and Clevedon to the West. The publication of the Joint Spatial Plan, together with the related Joint Local Transport Plan 4, has caused significant levels of concern in the Village. 1.2 Tickenham Road Action Group was formed after a public meeting at which residents ex- pressed concerns about the plans proposed in JSP WED007 and WED008 in early January 2019. The Group has over 160 sign-ups, a steering group and terms of reference adopted by the Village. It is recognised by the Village and the Parish Council and has received messages of support from Councillor Nigel Ashton, then Leader of North Somerset Council, Dr Liam Fox MP and other stake- holders including the local primary school. 1.3 The concerns centred, almost entirely, on the proposal in JSP 3 and related JLTP 4 to build a road or roads linking the proposed developments at Nailsea and Backwell with the B3130 in Tick- enham and then to J20 of the M5 to the West and Bristol to the East, This changed an earlier pro- posal in JLTP 3 to build a direct link from Nailsea to J20. 1.4 The overriding summary is that, whilst the objectives and outcomes of the JSP benefit many across the WECA/JSP geographical area, if JSP 3 and the related JLTP 4 are unchanged from their present draft their impact will deliver the opposite to Tickenham and other users of the B3130 generally, namely: • poor accessibility • a negative impact on quality of life/health/environment • create a worse place and, most notably • make for a very unsafe B3130 road through this narrow village settlement.
