South Worle LibDems will be holding North Somerset to account as it becomes clear that the proposed rail electrification is ‘on hold’, possibly to 2024. There will can be no excuses for delaying the reinstatement of Moor Lane Bridge as North Somerset Council members are fully aware of central government plans to axe this funding. This was one of the central reasons why repairs were not made to the bridge whilst waiting for the electrification scheme.

It would be wholly unreasonable to wait 8 years for a vehicular link to be brought back between Mead Vale and Locking Castle.

Tina Roberts said: ” We will be calling for some clarity regarding this important link for South Worle residents”.
