HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE KEYNSHAM SECTION OF THE A4


?? Have your say on the future of the A4 between Keynsham, Bath and Bristol!
The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) has launched a public consultation on its updated plans for the A4 Bath to Bristol – Keynsham section, and they want to hear from local residents, businesses and anyone who travels through the area.
Following feedback received during the 2023 consultation, the plans have been revised and now include:
?? New centrally located bus stops for the X39 service
?? Over two miles of new walking and cycling routes along the Keynsham Bypass
?? Improvements designed to make journeys safer and more accessible for everyone
These proposals form part of the wider A4 Bath to Bristol project, which aims to improve public transport, walking and cycling connections while creating safer, more reliable journeys between Bath, Keynsham and Bristol.
?? The consultation is open until 22 September 2026.
?? Drop-in events
• Saturday 15 August – Keynsham Community Space, 12.30pm–5.30pm
• Wednesday 9 September – Fear Hall, 2.30pm–7.30pm
?? Prefer a paper copy?
Consultation information and printed response forms are available throughout the consultation at:
• Keynsham Library & Information Service
• Keynsham Community Hub
• Bath Central Library
• Bristol Central Library
?? Whether you support the proposals, have concerns, or have ideas to improve them, now is the time to have your say. Every response helps shape the final plans.

Being prepared for an emergency doesn't mean expecting one to happen; it simply means taking a few simple steps now that could make a difficult situation much easier to manage. Events such as severe weather, flooding, power cuts, water supply interruptions or other unexpected incidents can happen with little warning. Having important information close to hand, knowing who to contact, and planning what you would do can help reduce stress and enable you to respond quickly if the need arises.

As part of our community resilience planning, Keynsham Town Council is encouraging all residents to take a few moments to familiarise themselves with the information on their Grab & Go card and to keep it somewhere easy to find.

We also recommend making a note of your nearest Place of Refuge should one be opened during an emergency, and discussing your plans with family, friends or neighbours, particularly those who may need extra support.

A little preparation today can make a significant difference tomorrow, helping to keep you, your loved ones and our community safe.

 

 

£10,000 funding available for projects that benefit community infrastructure within Keynsham.

Keynsham Town Council is inviting local groups, charities and organisations to apply for a share of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding for projects that improve community infrastructure within Keynsham.
