The Council inherited a number of highway
improvement schemes from Avon County Council. Some have been
abandoned, other remain to be assessed. Of these, those which
require a substantial land allocation are listed in Policy T.19
T.17. The A36 Lower Bristol Road scheme is being
reviewed as part of the preparation of the Western Riverside
Regeneration Plan. A route study of the A37 is proposed that
will include a review of the village bypass proposals for
Temple Cloud and Whitchurch. There are at present no Highways
Agency schemes in the District. |
