Rangeworthy 30mph speed limit in place

The new speed limit has now been installed and is in force and enforceable. Flashing warning signs will be installed near the P.C. Car Park and in New Rd.

This had been requested by Rangeworthy Parish Council to reduce the danger from lorries going through the village at the time when children were walking to school. The flashing reminder sign opposite the Rose and Crown, has been recording the number and speed of vehicles, but not details of individual vehicles.

Temporary changes to 622 bus service

Because Manor Road in Engine Common is temporarily closed to traffic to enable a pavement to be installed, bus service 622 cannot follow its normal route. You can find details of the changes on the South Glos website.

Heritage Open Days coming up

This year's Heritage Open Days run from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th September. They include a chance to go on a guided tour of the remains of Ram Hill Colliery near Coalpit Heath on the Sunday. The information leaflet is available to download from the South Glos website.

Coal mining buffs might also like to attend the free Open Day at Oldwood Pit between Yate and Rangeworth. There will be guided tours approximately every half an hour 2-6pm on Saturday and 11-5pm on Sunday, so it will be possible to visit both Ram Hill and Oldwood in the same weekend. More information can be found on the South Glos Mines Research Group website.
