04/01/2010 The Axbridge Streets and Parking Improvement Plan

The Axbridge Action Group commissioned a "Streets and Parking Improvement Plan for Axbridge" from Haire Landscape Consultants in October 2008. The Group asked for the support of the Town Council to trial certain of the elements of the plan, and the Town Council suggested that the necessary support of the Town Trust be gained before any decisions were made. This is now being sought, and the in the meantime, a copy of the final report is available to view here.

The improvements being proposed by the Action Group for implementation relate to a) the creation of a pedestrian only area in front of Co-op and the Museum for a trial period, b) the creation of a number of traffic-calming “gateways” in the main through route for a trial period, and c) the extension of the paving of the Square along Meadow Street towards the car-park.

When the view of the Town Trust is known, the proposals will be discussed by the Town Council, so if it's close to your heart, keep an eye on the agendas for the next meetings, which you can always find in the Council pages here, and come along to have your say!
