Welcome to Friends of the Avon New Cut
Friends of the Avon New Cut (commonly known as FrANC) was formed in 2006 when a group of local people got together to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the Avon New Cut – a man-made tidal waterway. FrANC has a membership of over 200 people who share a keen interest in helping the natural environment of the Avon New Cut to thrive, so locals and visitors can enjoy this green corridor in the heart of Bristol.
