Plans for South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhoods, funding, community and stakeholder engagement and how to stay informed about the project.

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

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 11 July to the 13 October 2024 we engaged with residents and businesses to find out what issues and challenges their communities face.

We have collected more than 6,000 comments on an interactive map in order to gather feedback from residents. We have compiled the results and data collected in an engagement report.

South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhoods Engagement

From 4 September to 30 October we're consulting on proposals which have been put together following the feedback on the engagement stage which took place in 2024.

Take a look at the proposals and have your say.
