The New Cut river walls stabilisation works continue and we have received updates from Bristol City Council about two south bank sections.

Bristol City Council is working with the Environment Agency and the West of England Combined Authority on a long-term project to better protect homes and businesses from flooding along the River Avon.

We’re received another update from the Transport Engagement team at Bristol City Council, this time concerning the New Cut walls along Coronation Road between Southville Service Station and Camden Road.

This 2025 survey covers part of the Avon New Cut in Bristol from Bathurst Bridge to Ashton Avenue Bridge.

FrANC’s Bedminster Bridge interpretation board is reinstalled after 18 months with the help of several members.

It was the first Saturday of the month and that meant our community gardeners met at Butterfly Junction for one of their monthly sessions.

With no regular income such as by charging a membership fee, FrANC relies on the generosity of others in the form of donations and grants.

Three locations along the walls of the Avon New Cut are now deemed as emergency sites that present a very substantial risk in the event of a collapse.

On Monday 14 July, construction work starts to repair Bath New Bridge, part of Bath Bridges Roundabout on the A4 Bath Road travelling towards the city centre.

Given the initial estimated timescale, and the additional emergency work required, it was a very pleasant surprise to discover that the bridge would re-open several months ahead of schedule on 20th June.

A section of York Road between St Luke’s Road towards Bath Bridges will close from 6th April until June. The previously closed section (from St Luke’s Road towards Whitehouse Street) will re-open.
