Backwell Leisure Centre

We have been advised by North Somerset Council of the following:

To complete the final phase of the works on the road outside Backwell Leisure Centre; we have been advised that the road will be required to be closed 08:00pm and 06:00am from Tuesday 1st September 2026 for an anticipated duration of twelve nights (excluding weekends). The closure will be from the junction with Robinson Close to 52 Farleigh Road.

Where it is safe to do, the on-site traffic management team will be happy to assist with access or egress. However, this will be dependent on the location and stage of the works at the time, and there may be occasions where access cannot be permitted immediately. In these instances, those requiring access may be asked to wait while the site is made safe or use the signed diversion route where appropriate.

Over this period please plan your journeys accordingly.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

While we often focus on what we’re eating or how we’re moving, wellness is also about who we’re connecting with. Humans are social creatures, and a quick catch-up with a friend or a shared laugh can lower cortisol levels just as effectively as a meditation session.

Your wellness challenge for the week: Reach out to one person who makes you feel seen and supported. Send that text, make that call, or grab a coffee. ☕
