Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) Somerset
This application is the first step to improving visitor safety along the highway as part of the 'Uncovering Ham Hill's past for its future' Heritage Fund project at Ham Hill. The £2.4 million project will conserve and protect the wealth of archaeology at this Iron Age hillfort, improve biodiversity and habitat management, provide better visitor facilities and engage visitors and local communities with the heritage, geological, cultural and wildlife importance of Ham Hill.
