We originally proposed putting a pocket park at the junction of Cossham Road and Church Road (A420). However, there were concerns about how larger vehicles would leave the area, as they would need to use alternative streets that are less suitable, such as Seneca Street and Sherborne Street. So we decided on a modal filter on Wicket Lane instead.
