Consultation and Public Involvement

Copies of the draft strategy have been sent to a wide range of interests. It is also available as follows:

At Brunel House, St George’s Road (either to view, or to buy at £3.00 per section)

It is important to note that many of the projects identified in this strategy have had, or will have, their own consultative/public involvement process. This strategy provides an overview and context within which these projects can be seen and progressed.
The consultation period runs on this draft document through to spring 2006. Comments and queries will be reviewed and considered.

Suggested changes will be made and reported to the Bristol City Council Cabinet for their consideration in due course. The detailed timings on this will be in accordance with the timetable for progressing the overall Local Development Framework for Bristol.
