Changes to Bus Service 672 CHANGES TO BUS SERVICE 672 Starting 6 January 2019 , the timetable of bus service 672 will be revised to improve punctuality by reflecting current traffic conditions. The road works near Temple Meads are having a significant impact on punctuality and they will not be completed for several months. Also, Clarence Road will be closed for up to 16 weeks for major road works in Spring 2019. Buses towards Bristol on service 672 will be re-routed to operate via Redcliff Hill and Redcliffe Way instead of Clarence Road and Temple Gate. The nearest bus stop for Temple Meads will be in Victoria Street at Temple Street. Buses from Bristol will continue to operate via Temple Gate and York Road. The new timetable for Mondays to Fridays is below and Saturdays is overleaf.

  • North Somerset & Mendip Bats SAC Citation
    EC Directive 92/43 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora Citation for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Name: North Somerset and Mendip Bats Unitary Authority/County: Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Somerset SAC status: Designated on 1 April 2005 Grid reference: ST480544 SAC EU code: UK0030052 Area (ha): 561.19 Component SSSI: Banwell Caves SSSI, Banwell Ochre Caves SSSI, Brockley Hall Stables SSSI, Compton Martin Ochre Mine SSSI, King’s Wood and Urchin Wood SSSI, The Cheddar Complex SSSI, Wookey Hole SSSI Site description: The Cheddar complex and Wookey Hole areas support a wide range of habitats which provide feeding grounds for bats. These include semi-natural dry grasslands of which the principal community present is sheep’s-fescue – meadow oat-grass (Festuca ovina – Helictotrichon pratense) grassland which occurs on rock ledges and on steep slopes with shallow limestone soil, especially in the dry valleys and gorges and on the south-facing scarp of the Mendips. King’s Wood and Urchin Wood have developed over limestone which outcrops in parts of the site and forms a steep scarp to the south-east. There is mostly oak Quercus robur and ash Fraxinus excelsior woodland, though some areas are dominated by small-leaved lime Tilia cordata with both maiden and coppice trees. Other canopy trees include yew Taxus baccata, cherry Prunus avium and wild service tree Sorbus torminalis. There is a rich ground flora including many ferns and mosses. The limestone caves and mines of the Mendips and the north Somerset hills provide a range of important breeding and hibernation sites for lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros and greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum.
