PUBLIC notices cover a wide variety of applications, ranging from licensing for liqueur or entertainment to planning applications, roadworks and other works.

Their intention is to inform communities of the latest plans in their area and such applications are considered for approval or refusal by local authorities.

Here are some of the latest applications submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council and Somerset Council in Midsomer Norton, Radstock and the surrounding towns and villages:

An order has been made to prohibit heavy vehicles from proceeding along various roads across Bath City Centre.

Thirty-nine streets in total will be closed as a result of this order, which includes roads such as Great Pulteney Street, London Road and New Bond Street.

It has been put in place so that necessary maintenance works can be carried out to Cleveland Bridge.

It came into effect from Tuesday, November 16, and will last for 12 months or until the repairs to the bridge have been completed, if sooner.

The order will mostly affect vehicles with a maximum gross weight over 7.5 tonnes, but vehicles with a maximum weight of over 18 tonnes are specifically prohibited from travelling down Cleveland Street.

More information about the roads affected and any exceptions can be found on Bath and North East Somerset Council’s website.
