People living in east Bristol have raised concerns that plans for a Liveable Neighbourhood were 'not properly consulted on'. Bristol City Council is planning to install a series of road blocks this autumn in Barton Hill, St George and Redfield as part of a new trial.
Despite consulting the public for months on the plans, many people living in the area say they were unaware until recently about the details. Several roads will be blocked off to motor traffic in a bid to make the streets safer to walk and cycle and reduce harmful air pollution.
Campaigners from Keep Bristol Moving held a residents' meeting on Thursday, July 6, to hear from locals about how they would be affected by the planned Liveable Neighbourhood. Chris Johnson, who organised the meeting, said he was opposing the council’s proposals.
