It is with a heavy and heartbroken spirit that I must announce the end of the Severn Beach Miniature Railway project. Despite our best efforts and a long, difficult battle with the South Gloucestershire Council planning team and Planning Enforcement, I have had to make the painful decision to bring the project to a close.

I was given permission to begin this project, and I hold the emails and documentation that confirm this. A lease was even prepared - only to be withdrawn before I was able to sign it. Sadly, this has meant that our community and our dedicated volunteers have been denied what would have been a truly special and exciting project for Severn Beach.

I would like to express my deepest thanks to every one of you who followed, supported, and believed in this vision. Your encouragement has meant more than you know.

Wishing you all the very best,

Joe Nemeth
Lead Project Engineer
