Local residents and parish councils of three villages Combe Hay, Englishcombe and Newton St. Loe have been working hard on a bid to have their area included in an extension of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)surrounding Bath.
Liberal Democrat campaigner Louise Bray and Chair of Englishcombe Parish Council Brian Huggett met with BANES Biodiversity Champion Cherry Beath who has given her support to raise the profile of the bid which is based on the quality of the areas outstanding landscape.
Louise said
"I feel very excited about this. Now the rules have been relaxed there is a terrific opportunity. It would be wonderful to see this diverse and beautiful area protected for the villagers of N.E. Somerset, people of Bath, and appreciative visitors to enjoy for many years to come."
Cherry Beath added
"The beauty of the countryside and villages surrounding Bath are what makes the area so special and attractive to residents and visitors alike. It is an anomaly that these areas were not included in the AONB originally, and it is important that they are protected. I fully support their inclusion, and commend the work done by residents and the Parish Councils towards this end."
