Winterstoke Road Bridge Delayed: Reopening Now Early 2028

North Somerset runs from the Bristol Channel to the edge of the Mendips, and it holds two quite different sorts of place. Weston-super-Mare is the largest town, a seaside resort with the pier and the sands and the council’s offices. Portishead, Clevedon and Nailsea face Bristol and empty out towards it every morning. Yatton, Congresbury and Winscombe sit inland between them.

The North Somerset Post covers all of it. One thing worth stating plainly at the top: North Somerset Council is its own unitary authority and is not part of Somerset Council, so anything you read about Somerset’s bins or council tax almost certainly does not apply here. We report from this council’s own record, with a link to the document on every fact.

Start with these

• North Somerset house prices: £312,303 on the official index, up 6.4% in a year, and a £239,500 gap between Long Ashton and Weston-super-Mare.
• North Somerset trains to London: Nailsea does it in 1hr 52min, faster than Weston, and what a season ticket costs from all five stations.
• Roadworks, parking and travel: the Banwell bypass opening date, the Sheepway closure, and every council car park price.
• Things to do in North Somerset: nine days out with checked prices, including the one that is a building site.
• North Somerset planning news: 24,495 homes in the Local Plan and the hearings that start on 9 November.
