Early plans for South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood, funding, community and stakeholder engagement and how to stay informed about the project.

Early plans and vision

We're starting to plan liveable neighbourhoods in the areas of Southville, Bedminster, and Windmill Hill.

Our aim is to work with the local community to design safer and quieter streets to: encourage people to walk, cycle and wheel

  • for shorter journeys
  • improve air quality
  • enhance the public realm and green spaces
  • improve access to local high streets

We're at the early planning stages.

Funding and support

This early phase of the project is being funded by the Department for Transport's City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement and Section 106 funding, which is a contribution from local developers.

Evidence gathering

We have collected data on traffic, air quality and noise, as well as analysing ward profiles to inform our proposals for the scheme.

Community engagement

From the 15 July to the 13 October 2024 we will engage with residents and businesses to find out what issues and challenges their communities face.

We'll use this information, along with our local data to further collaborate and consult on. Visit our engagement hub to have your say.
