NEWSLETTER SPRING 20<strong>08</strong><br />
WESTERLEIGH VILLAGE WEIGHT LIMIT<br />
The long awaited<br />
7.5tonne weight<br />
restriction is here.<br />
Over recent years<br />
lorries have been<br />
traveling along<br />
unsuitable urban<br />
and rural roads, as<br />
a result are increasing<br />
noise and<br />
pollution levels<br />
that are lowering<br />
the quality of life<br />
for local residents.<br />
Signs will be<br />
erected at locations<br />
to prevent<br />
HGVs (except<br />
those loading and<br />
unloading) from<br />
traveling through<br />
Westerleigh Village.<br />
Signs will be in<br />
four locations:<br />
• Badminton<br />
Road junction<br />
by<br />
WesterleighBusiness<br />
Park<br />
• Shire Way<br />
junction in<br />
Yate<br />
• B4465<br />
junction of<br />
Shorthill<br />
Road and<br />
Westerleigh<br />
Road<br />
south of<br />
the village<br />
• B4465<br />
junction at<br />
Westerleigh<br />

LOTTERY FUNDS FOR NEWMAN FIELD<br />
<strong>Council</strong> have been<br />
lucky enough to<br />
secure a Beacon<br />
Grant of £35,000<br />
Lottery Funding<br />
for Play through<br />
<strong>South</strong> <strong>Gloucestershire</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong>.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> want to<br />
encourage natural<br />
play and hope to<br />
create a ‘landscape<br />
for play’. Somewhere<br />
that is<br />
beautiful for everyone<br />
to enjoy, but<br />
is also fun for<br />
children and young<br />
people. We’d like<br />
it to be a place for<br />
families to go,<br />
enjoy this children<br />
playing and even<br />
take a picnic. The<br />
proposal is still in<br />
the design stage<br />
and initial sketch<br />
plans should be<br />
available soon.<br />
