Delays to crucial transport works surrounding the new Bristol arena could “cause chaos and calamity” for people living nearby.
A new 17,000-spectator arena is under construction on the northern edge of the city, with more than 2,000 homes being built too. But necessary changes to the road layout around the Brabazon Hangars could face delays after a vote on funding was postponed.
South Gloucestershire Council leader Toby Savage warned any delays to the £6.6-million infrastructure package could “heap misery” onto residents — as gig-goers would struggle to get to and from the arena if the transport works aren’t finished by the time the venue opens.
