Major upgrades to walking, cycling and public transport are planned over the next three decades for the North Fringe of Bristol. A new masterplan aims to make it easier for people to walk, cycle and catch the bus or train around communities in the north of the city, most of which lie in South Gloucestershire.
Places which could see changes as part of the North Fringe Infrastructure masterplan include Filton, Cribbs Causeway, Patchway, Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Harry Stoke, Henbury and Brentry. South Gloucestershire Council chiefs signed off on the masterplan earlier this week, after a six-week public consultation in the summer.
Councillor Steve Reade, cabinet member for regeneration, environment and strategic infrastructure, said: “The north fringe of Bristol masterplan is the result of a successful joint project between the West of England combined authority, South Gloucestershire Council and Bristol City Council. The outcome is an ambitious vision for the area that, if realised, will bring social, economic and environmental benefits up to 2050 and beyond.”
