I AM a walker, cyclist, bus user and car driver and I think the changes on Clevedon seafront are good.

In the 30 years that we have lived in Clevedon, people have complained about cyclists using the Promenade and endangering pedestrians, now they have their own segregated cycle routes.

Visitors have complained about bus stops being too far from the seafront and Pier, now we have a stop right outside the Pier.

Reversing out backwards into two way traffic from the previous car parking spaces was always a matter of taking your life in your hands. The new parking design is so much better.

Add to that the changes on Hill Road, where it used to be difficult to walk on narrow pavements and manoeuvre a double buggy, now it’s so much more pleasant and recent visitors have said how lovely it looks.

Change is difficult but these improvements will help people walk, cycle, use buses and in the process reduce carbon emissions. Sea level rises, intense ferocious storms and flooding events are all a result of climate change and will damage the seafront.

If we really want to protect our Victorian seafront and historic Pier, we need to provide alternatives to car use, encourage cyclists, build more safe cycle routes, and develop better public transport links.

At the moment humans are the problem, we still (just) have time to be the solution.
