About

Peasedown St John forms the core of this ward, a former Somerset mining village absorbed into the local authority area. The settlement is characterised by residential streets and local amenities centred around the Bath Road. The surrounding landscape includes open farmland and wooded areas on the slopes of the Cam Valley, providing a rural fringe. The community is served by several schools and local shops, with housing primarily consisting of post-war developments and some older cottages.

The area's history is marked by its coal mining past, with the last pits closing in the 1950s. A modern community centre and library now serve as focal points. On the edge of the village, the Peasedown Croft Nature Reserve offers walking paths through former quarry land. Public transport links connect the ward to Bath and nearby towns, supporting its role as a commuter settlement within the wider district.
