Natural England has just published its proposals for the coastal path through our area.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/england-coast-path-from-aust-to-brean-down-comment-on-proposals

There are maps and lots of reading......  Whether this will ever come about is anyone's guess, the proposed costs are enormous - £200,000 for the area around Clevedon alone!!

All representations and objections about the report must be received by Natural England no later than midnight on 19th Sept 2019.
