I’ve just heard from Sustrans and the Two Tunnels project that they are holding an public event prior to submission of planning applications for two new bridges over Dartmouth Avenue and Monksdale Road. The bridges will form part of the Two Tunnels Greenway and allow pedestrians and cyclists to travel from Wellow to Bath on a completely traffic free route. The event will give the opportunity for members of the public to comment on the bridge design.

They are also launching a vote for figures to feature on a ‘portrait’ bench for the route. The bench will feature three well known local figures, and members of the public are invited to vote on an initial shortlist of 18 compiled by the Two Tunnels Group.

The event is taking place in the new St Alphege’s Church Hall, Oldfield Lane, Bath BA2 3NR on Wednesday 18th August from 4pm until 8pm. Everyone is welcome.
