Subject: Proposed change to the Public Rights of Way network in Keynsham

We are writing to consult you on a proposal to divert a section of Public Footpath BA27/27 (“the FP”) in Keynsham. The general effect of the proposal is shown on the attached plan.

The section of the FP commencing from grid reference ST 6683 6780 (point A on the plan) and continuing in a generally east-southeasterly direction for approximately 171 metres to grid reference ST 6698 6674 at point B would be stopped up, as shown on the plan by a continuous black line. The new line of the FP would commence from the same point and proceed in a generally east-southeasterly direction for approximately 190 metres to point B, via points C, D, E and F, as shown on the plan by a dashed black line.

This change is proposed to enable development to be carried out and would be achieved by way of a diversion order made under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. A copy of the developer’s plan showing the proposed route is also attached for your information. The new footpath would be two metres in width. Works would be carried out during the development process to bring the new paths into a condition fit for public use.

If you have any comments regarding the above proposals, please ensure that they are received by the Public Rights of Way team no later than 25 November 2024. Email: tim_haynes@bathnes.gov.uk. Postal address: PROW, Bath and North East Somerset Council, Lewis House, Manvers Street, Bath, BA1 1JG. If you require further information please contact us on 01225 477649.

(THTTC3271) (TEMPORARY ELECTRIC SCOOTER TRIAL)  ORDER 2023
Notice is hereby given that Bath and North East Somerset Council in pursuance of the provisions of section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended and The Electric Scooter Trials and Traffic Signs (Coronavirus) Regulations and General Directions 2020 has made an order the effect of which will enable electric scooters (as defined in The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016) being used in a trial, to use any road or length of road in Bath and North East Somerset which are currently used by pedal cycles. This applies only to electric scooters hired from a company authorised and in accordance with the regulations made by the Department for Transport.    The TTRO is to be made pursuant to S14 (1) (b) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because of the likelihood of danger to the public during the continued trial of rental e-scooters on public highways between 26th September 2023 - 25th March 2025. The TTRO is needed to reduce the potential for rental e-scooters to conflict with other traffic and road users during this trial period facilitating their use of these alternative road spaces which are already subject to user restrictions.   Bath & North East Somerset Council is satisfied that electric scooters being used in the trial in the said roads should be permitted in connection with likelihood of danger to the public. The justification for this order is two-fold.  (1) to reduce ambiguity as to where the aforementioned electric scooters can be ridden, and (2) to allow the aforementioned electric scooters to be ridden in safer areas of the highway.
This order will be operative from the 26th September 2023 for a maximum period of eighteen months.   Comments or queries about the trial can be sent to escootertrial@westofengland-ca.gov.uk For any queries concerning this Traffic Regulation Order please telephone 01225 394041.
