Council seeking views on sale of trading estate land

South Glos Council is seeking views on the possible disposal of land at Culvert Avenue on the Badminton Road Trading Estate.

It was was originally acquired by the then local council to construct a road but has been unused for many years. There has been recent interest from the adjoining owner so the council would like to hear your comments on the future of this site. A report on it will then be prepared with a recommendation as to whether, and how, it should be retained or disposed of. You can find out more on the South Glos website. The deadline for comments is 27th February.

Extension of working hours at Ram Hill Business Park refused

This afternoon the planning committee narrowly voted against plans to extend the working hours at Ram Hill Business Park.

A neighbour spoke eloquently about the impact 6am starts and Saturday afternoon working would have on her family's wellbeing and that of other residents. Claire Young was there too to speak on the three applications and two Greenacres Park residents turned up to demonstrate the concern of residents there.

Claire earlier spoke on an application for a heating fuel distribuion centre on the Badminton Road Trading Estate. After some discussion of the planning policy implications, the committee unanimously approved that application in line with the officer's recommendation.
