BOB has been informed that the development for 60 dwellings at the juction of 'Devil's Bridge' Bleadon Hill and A370 has started as follows:

"You may like to know that yesterday (15th Feb) work commenced on the new housing development situated on land at the junction of Bleadon Hill and Bridgwater Rd. The site is being levelled in preparation for reptile-proof fencing to be installed. I suspect that the coming months will see horrendous traffic problems in this area."
