  • Cycling South Gloucestershire 10 Short Leisure Routes Between 3 and 12 Miles 10 Leisure Rides
    Cycling South Gloucestershire 10 short leisure routes between 3 and 12 miles 10 Leisure Rides 2 8 4 7 10 5 1 3 6 9 © Crown copyright and route (route shown in relevant colour) database rights 2011 Ordnance Survey Key 100023410 K Cafe Toilets Pub xyA Station Refer to this key for all route maps 2 Introduction These routes are aimed at all levels of cyclists and their families. Cycling offers a great opportunity to discover new places and views in South Gloucestershire.We hope that you enjoy cycling these routes and that it encourages you to get your bike out more often. The routes vary in length and difficulty. A grading system has been used to determine the ability level required to cycle these routes. However this is only a guide. Ability Levels 1 For all users including inexperienced or beginner cyclists. Any hills will be very gentle and any on road cycling will be on quiet roads. 2 For slightly more experienced cyclists or those who may feel a bit more confident. There may be the occasional steep hill (don’t be afraid to get off and push!) and occasional short stretches on busier roads. 3 For the reasonably competent cyclists. The rides will be longer, with some steep hills and with cycling on or alongside busy roads for longer stretches. The distances given do not take into account any return journey unless the route is circular. The times given to cycle a route may vary depending on fitness level and the number of breaks and stops. Advice These routes incorporate off road sections that are shared with pedestrians.

  • Friends of Brandy Bottom Colliery, Pucklechurch
    Friends of Brandy Bottom Colliery, Pucklechurch Newsletter No 12, August 2016 The masons have completed rebuilding the tippler slots and the adjoining top of the north-west wall of the Old Pit heapstead. They have also finished repointing the outside of the octagonal section of the chimney and repositioned displaced stones around the shoulder. We have started on planning for the next stage of conservation, which will cover work on the Horizontal Engine House and the walls of the New Pit heapstead. We have also had discussions with Ibstock Brick about extending the fencing to enclose the Fan Engine House, and about removing some trees along the cycle path to give passers-by a better view of the site. Spoil clearance in the Vertical Engine House restarted after the site clear-up. Progress: May – August 2016 (Photos 1-31 will be found on page 4 onwards) CWS Landscaping completed rebuilding the tippler slots (photo right) in May, topping the brickwork with wooden beams made from old railway sleepers. Some overhanging brickwork has been straightened, as can be seen by comparing the ‘before’ (photo 1) and ‘after’ (photo 2) views of this area. The masons have also competed repointing the outside of the octagonal section of the chimney. They replaced the shaped stones on the top of the shoulder in their original positions (photo 3), and replaced some missing stones below the shoulder (photos 4 and 5). Photo 6 shows a mason at work on this part of the chimney. Once the masons had finished, there was a site clear-up that took several work parties to complete.

  • Overview & Scrutiny Committee 17
    Overview & Scrutiny Committee 17 July 2019 Agenda item 8 – Items from the public Statements received 1 David Redgewell Transport Issues 2 Christina Biggs Local Transport Statement 1 Statement by David Redgewell for WECA Scrutiny on Wednesday 17th July 2019 and WECA Board on 19th July In the middle of negotiations with the Mayor’s plus the Combined Authority and N Somerset about a Regional Bus Deal talk of franchising is a complete distraction. It looks like a fruitful deal that benefits bus passengers with clear timescales can be agreed, with partnership working and cross operator support. This has been very successful elsewhere such as in Leeds. The First investments will start on routes 1 & 2 and then 75 & 76. Working alongside the Mayor’s the Authorities will deliver bus priorities to tackle congestion that holds the buses back and causes unreliability and adds costs. There will be more integration and we have already achieved commitments and government funding for an interchange at Bristol Parkway. First will add more integration and will be delivering 77 gas buses through the partnerships and 9 new buses for Bath. New buses cost between £200 – 400k and there is no spare money for the authorities to be buying fleets of buses and when operators are willing to buy them the money can be spent on other vital areas. The freedom pass which allows bus and rail travel in the City Region has had a price cut and there will be more marketing to publicise this ticket. Of course there is more to do and we need to fill the off peak buses when they have capacity.

  • Friends of Ram Hill Colliery Coalpit Heath
    Friends of Ram Hill Colliery Coalpit Heath, South Gloucestershire Restoration & Interpretation Project MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION FORM The Ram Hill Colliery dates from the nineteenth century and was successfully producing good quality coal between the early 1830’s and the late 1860’s. Most of the coal from this mine was sent to and used in Bristol, for domestic heating and fuelling the increasing number of steam engines during the industrial revolution. While there are no complete buildings on this site there are the remains of the engine house, the complete footprint of the horse gin, the loading bays of the Dramway and possibly, but as yet undiscovered , the boiler house and reservoir. The old horse drawn railway, that transported the coal from the coalpit heath mines to boats waiting at the quay of the river Avon, has its northern terminus at the Colliery. The site is owned by south Gloucestershire Council, affording archaeology and country side management expertise and assured public access Because the Ram Hill site is of such importance, English Heritage has scheduled it, making it subject to special protection. The ‘Friends of Ram Hill Colliery’ have formed to restore the site. Their aim is to raise funding to protect the standing archaeology. To improve access and interpretation and generally open up and maintain the site as an area of interest and local heritage for everyone in the community. IF YOU WISH TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT SITE OR WISH TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN HELP PRESERVE IT, THEN PLEASE JOIN US.
