Nailsea is going to get thousands of new houses - but where?

Nailsea is going to get a new dual carriageway running through Backwell lake, really?

Two new secondary schools are planned for the area - what?

Nailsea has no say on what will be built? Don't think so.

A full report of Nailsea Action Group annual meeting on Thursday, February 7, is published on our Property Peeps page.

Backwell Residents Association (BRA) annual meeting is on Tuesday, February 12, at 7pm in the Sixth Form Lecture Theatre at Backwell School.
The meeting is open to all (members & non members) and on the agenda is a discussion about the proposals for:

• 700 houses on Grove Farm;

• Link road and metro bus route next to Backwell Lake, running across Backwell Common; and

• Transport Hub and multi level car park at Nailsea & Backwell railway station.

Tickenham Parish Council has also discussed the plans and how it could affect its village.​

Resident Joanna Wyatt said: "Yes it is happening unless we do something about it.

"The road will join up with Tickenham by the church and bring more traffic down a B road that already has 15000 vehicles a day.

"Get involved if you care about our future."

Called Tickenham Road Action Group its formation is to influence authorities in the development of new road schemes impacting Tickenham village.

The Joint Spatial Plan and associated transport plans are recommending that new roads are introduced between Nailsea and Tickenham and Tickenham to the M5 J20.

TRAG is against these plans as the proposed new roads will:

• Funnel additional traffic through the already busy and unsafe Clevedon Road;

• Be a waste of tax payers money as the plans only address a short term solution to the Nailsea-Backwell traffic needs; and

• There is a better strategic solution that will link Nailsea directly to the M5 J20.
