Welcome to Kenn
Kenn is a small rural parish on a lowland moor in North Somerset. It has a pub and a church, but no post office or shops. There are close to 350 villagers living in about 130 houses on Kenn Street, Duck Lane and a cluster on Kenn Road.
There are scattered farmhouses and cottages on Davis Lane, Nailsea Wall and Kenn Moor Road.
Agriculture (mostly livestock) was the main industry in the village until relatively recently, now there are 2 business parks (with a third proposed), a holiday village, a football stadium, a police training centre, auction rooms and a garage with a car sales business.
Consultation on proposed speed limit changes in Kenn
North Somerset Council is considering changes to the speed limits on Kenn Street and Duck Lane. The proposal is to implement 20mph zones on both, and to reduce the 60mph section on Kenn Street to 40mph. See this page for further details.
The consultation has now closed, and the response is due to be published on 13 Dec 2024. You can sign up for notifications about this consultation here.
