As North Somerset pours £10m into roads, Bristol pursues planning appeal over Church Road highway works
Two neighbouring councils are dealing with highways this week in opposite ways: North Somerset is investing £10.1m in maintenance, while Bristol City Council is contesting an unauthorised vehicular access and car wash on Church Road.
North Somerset Council has invested more than £10.1 million into road maintenance and transport network improvements, according to reports from the North Somerset Times and the Weston Mercury [1][2]. The same week, Bristol City Council's planning list shows an enforcement notice appeal concerning a car wash and the creation of a vehicular access onto Church Road in Redfield, which involves works to the highway [3]. Together, the two items show how highway management in the Bristol area spans both funding for upkeep and enforcement against unauthorised changes to roads.
