New by for village after waiting 100 years

A traffic-plagued village will finally have a by built around it - exactly 100 years after such a scheme was first suggested.

Last week, North Somerset Council voted to grant contractors a notice to begin construction on the Banwell by.

The project was first proposed in 1927 in a bid to combat the traffic issues caused by two A-roads funnelling traffic in to the village before merging into a single lane.

The by plans were finally approved in 2023, but has faced major delays including the original contractor pulling out last year.
