The scheme £120,000 works are expected to last a week, with work restricted to off-peak... -

Does the Tickenham speed camera make a difference?
Speed cameras across North Somerset have been switched off today. The only fixed camera I pass near Clevedon is on the Clevedon Road through Tickenham. I've never seen it flash for anyone else but I still slow down for it if I am ever straying over the limit. It makes me look at my speedometer. And that must be a good thing, surely? The fixed cameras will remain where they are to act as a deterrent with police... -

LETTERS: We're wasting money patching potholes
It can't be just me who seethes at the money wasted every year on repairing potholes in our roads. Cllr Ap Rees (North Somerset Council executive member for highways) proclaimed that a further 500k will be committed this year. How much next year? And the year after that? Surely we should be investing the money rather than simply patching gaping wounds! Surely there is a technology out there or at the least... -
M5 chaos after another horror crash near Clevedon
The M5 was effectively turned into a carpark this morning as one Twitterer put it after an horrific accident.

The man was taken to hospital by ambulance in a critical condition. Traffic cued back to junction 21 for Weston-super-Mare after three lanes of the northbound M5 were closed for...
