Solsbury Hill

Building of the ‘Batheaston Bypass’ has caused the destruction of a watermeadow, a 500 year old badger sett and three woodlands. It is now visible as a scar through the side of Solsbury Hill near Bath. The dual carriageway is due to open in June or July of this year (the latest rumour being the 14th of June). Actions have disrupted work for the past two years so their is no excuse for the road to open without protest. Call and give us your tel no and we shall let you know when to be there.
