  • BRAM Team Review 2020
    BRAM TEAM Review of 2019 – 2020 BRAM Team Report for Bath Group AGM – November 2020 BRAM Team installed 11 gates in the first 5 months of this reporting period, as well as 7 waymark posts, 6 bridge boards, 35 steps and some other sundry tasks. Oh! And we cleared about 900 metres of path. And then came “lockdown” … … So, we washed our hands, figured out how to do our shopping and went on our “daily exercise walks”. Meanwhile BRAM Shears & Secateurs Team members were allowed to continue monitoring and clearing of vegetation on their Promoted Routes provided it was within their daily walk from home. And then Ramblers’ Central Office withdrew insurance for that as well. … … Gradually the Shears & Secateurs Team were “allowed” to restart when they felt it was appropriate (some did, some didn’t) and I submitted a rather patchy “annual report” to BathNES Local Authority. In August we were “allowed” to re-start BRAM Team activities and we had to figure out how to work in a “Covid secure” way. This involves keeping a greater distance between team members than normal. So we have been doing LOTS more clearance (about 2300 metres in 3 months) and we have figured out a method of installing sign posts (9), steps (16), bridge boards (6), and stoned 5 metres of path whilst staying “distanced” from each other. We have not re-started gate installation again yet as that may involve working closer together (plus BathNES have run out of stock of gates). Our “annual get-together”, usually in October was cancelled and so the highlight of our year has been our Civic Reception at the Mayor’s Parlour in Bath in January.

  • The WECA Will Have Powers and Funding Over Local Transport, Including: • £1 Billion of Investment to Deliver Infrastructure to Boost Economic Growth
    The WECA will have powers and funding over local transport, including: • £1 billion of investment to deliver infrastructure to boost economic growth. • Devolution of multi-year transport budgets, enabling the area to deliver transport projects with greater certainty that the funds are in place. • Further powers over transport, including responsibility for a Key Route Network of selected local roads. • There are also high traffic flows on the A370 through villages in North Somerset, and on minor routes in Bath & North East Somerset such as the B3130 through Chew Magna, creating both congestion and environmental problems in these communities • Traffic to the Airport also uses other routes, many of which are not appropriate for heavy traffic flows. These include routes through the Chew Valley from the east and minor roads through North Somerset from the north and south. • A37 Bypasses Analyses have shown that there is not a strong case for major transport improvements on the A37 corridor between Midsomer Norton and Bristol. • There are problems caused by traffic on the A37 through Pensford, Temple Cloud and Clutton, but the issues are mostly related to community severance and environmental quality in the villages. • There are not significant congestion or delay problems in the villages. This means that bypasses for the villages would be unlikely to generate significant user benefits on the road network. • Furthermore, the costs of the schemes would be high, particularly in Pensford, where it would be necessary to cross the valley of the River Chew. .
