Local residents invited to help shape the future of Portishead and North Somerset

The event will feature more information and a chance to respond to two consultations considering the future of North Somerset and Portishead:

• North Somerset Council's consultation on the council's draft Local Plan, which will guide new homes, jobs and investment throughout North Somerset in the period up to 2038. The Local Plan seeks to ensure development across the area is planned in a way which meets the council's zero carbon target by 2030.
• The Wyndham Way Study Area Steering Group's latest phase of consultation on how the area between Portishead High Street, the marina and the planned MetroWest railway station could be enhanced to benefit the people of Portishead.

A spokesperson for the event said:

“We are excited to be bringing together these two different consultations for this special drop in event at Portishead Library on 7 April. We hope that local people will join us to help us consider the future of North Somerset and the Wyndham Way Study Area.”

The consultation on North Somerset Council's draft Local Plan follows two public consultations in 2020 and is open until 5pm on Friday 29 April. For more, see https://www.n-somerset.gov.uk/newlocalplan
