Long Ashton named in both National Grid safety checks and September transport revamp

The North Somerset village is the only place listed for both a forthcoming National Grid home-inspection programme and a major transport scheme starting next month.

Long Ashton has been named in two separate contractor programmes, according to reports this week.

National Grid contractors will visit homes in Churchill, Langford and Long Ashton as part of a routine electricity safety inspection programme, the North Somerset Times and Weston Mercury reported [1][2]. The North Somerset Times also reported that a major transport improvement scheme is due to get under way in Long Ashton in September [3].

Together, the programmes mean Long Ashton is the only one of the three neighbourhoods named for the National Grid checks that is also scheduled for transport works, though the two initiatives have not been officially linked.
