I urge you not where it seems most appropriate to start the walk — at Bristol’s first to miss this out! The section from Avonmouth Bridge to Clifton takes bridge.

    North Somerset Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy Topic paper Culture, leisure and tourism September 2007 Culture, Leisure and Tourism and Topic Paper This is part of a series of topic papers summarising the evidence base for the North Somerset Core Strategy document. Other topic papers available in this series: � Demography, health, social inclusion and deprivation � Housing � Economy � Retail � Settlement function and hierarchy � Resources (including minerals, waste, recycling, energy consumption) � Natural environment (including climate change, biodiversity, green infrastructure, countryside, natural environment and flooding) � Transport and communications � Sustainable construction / design quality including heritage � Summing up / spatial portrait For further information on this topic paper please contact: Planning Policy Team Development and Environment North Somerset Council Somerset House Oxford Street Weston­super­Mare BS23 1TG Tel: 01275 888545 Fax: 01275 888569 localplan@n­somerset.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 The scope of this topic paper is wide ranging covering those aspects of society which enrich our lives. This is everything from the most fundamental of community services and facilities such as the provision of schools and health services to ways of spending our leisure time whether it be as residents of North Somerset or as tourists. With regards to tourism there are obvious overlaps between this and the economic topic paper and the work which is underway on the Area Action Plans for Weston­super­ Mare Town Centre and the Regeneration Area. No attempt has been made to cover every aspect of Culture, Leisure and Tourism. The intention has been to highlight those areas which may have the clearest implications for spatial/land use planning and especially the Core Strategy.
