North Somerset Council has launched a consultation on the plans, aimed at improving pedestrian safety and supporting more active and sustainable forms of travel, such as walking and cycling.
The preliminary designs include:
Local people have until midnight on Friday 11 April 2025 to view the proposals and have their say by completing the survey online at: www.n-somerset.gov.uk/congresburyspeedchange
Anyone unable to access the online survey can collect a paper copy from Congresbury Parish Council at Orchard House, The Old School Rooms, Station Road, BS49 5DX, and return it to the office before the survey closes.
Introducing a 20mph zone in Congresbury would help to encourage more people to choose to walk or cycle in their local area.
Cllr Hannah Young, Executive Member for Highways and Transport at North Somerset Council
I get lots of requests from residents across North Somerset for 20mph schemes so I’m pleased to bring this package of measures forward for people to have their say and would encourage everyone to take part before the survey closes.
I have long been concerned about excessive speeding though our village. A dedicated group of residents and I have been campaigning to change this since I was first elected. These proposals for a 20mph speed limit and traffic calming measures will deliver safer roads for vulnerable users and improve quality of life for residents. Please take the opportunity to respond to this consultation and have your say on this important issue.
