The New Cut isn't falling down...honest


Residents of Southville and Hotwells and users of the Chocolate Path will undoubtedly have spotted the Chocolate Path landslip.

Quite a significant area of the bank of the New Cut disappeared a few weeks ago in an area not far from the junction of Beauley Road with Coronation Road.

Well, Tess Green has raised this with officers and been told


'I have consulted with both Docks and Highways and am informed that the road is not immediately at risk from the current collapse.  However the situation is being monitored and stabilisation works are required.

Further discussions will be taking place shortly to discuss the way forward and the works that will be necessary.'



It would be interesting to know - given that the area appears to have increased in size - just how the council maintains and monitors the Cut.
