The residents of Hinton Charterhouse received some good news recently after hearing that the road running through the village is to be completely resurfaced.
Cllr Neil Butters has been working with the local Parish Council, and campaigning on this issue for over a year.
He added:
"Last year I met some visiting cyclists who were also complaining about the road surface and said it was the worst they had encountered on their travels.There really is an amazing contrast in road surface quality once you get to the Somerset border. Travelling on the B3110 from Hinton Charterhouse towards Norton St Philip is like going from Mexico into the U.S.!"
The road is due to be resurfaced towards the end of September.

Neil secures £8,000 for Wellow
A new community bus service is now up and running in Wellow, with help and support from local Councillor Neil Butters.
Neil managed to secure £8,000 from Bath and North East Somerset Council which has contributed towards a bus service for local residents that runs all day.
Neil said:
"Sadly, over time small villages have become more isolated due to the closure of pubs, post offices and other amenities. Thanks now though to the dedication of a hard working team in Wellow, a new community bus service has bucked the trend and been launched for local residents."

Neil takes it to... the Rail Magazine
The national RAIL magazine featured a local name recently, with a special article about B&NES Lib Dem Councillor Neil Butters.
Neil, who covers the Bathavon South area (villages including South Stoke, Hinton Charterhouse and Shoscombe), has a day job as the Secretary of the Railway Heritage Committee, a national statutory body.
RAIL is one of Britain's leading railway magazines. The only one to be published fortnightly, a regular feature is entitled 'A day in the life of'...'. The mid-July edition focused on Neil's work, a journalist coming down to Bristol from Peterborough to follow him around for several hours to find out what a day in life of Neil involves.
