By Councillor Sharon Ball

Claude Ave Connection to Linear way brought forward.

Some good news that has come out of the Liberal Democrat administration on Bath & North East Somerset Council is that the Claude Ave ramp has moved ahead of other matters on the Linear Way and will be completed by the end of March 2014.

This means that Cyclists and Children going to the local School at Lymore Terrace will be able to use the Linear way and come off at Claude Ave.

It is really good news for the many Children who come from the Twerton and Oldfield Park area that they will now have a safer route to School.


Many thanks to the Council and Sustrans for making this possible.
