Funding for Bristol’s new mass transit system is at “very high risk” after facing long delays, according to new cabinet reports.
Bristol mayor Marvin Rees said earlier this year diggers would begin work by the end of the decade, on creating new overground and underground railway routes, in a huge scheme costing billions of pounds. But that progress is now looking at risk of collapsing.
That risk is rated as “almost certain” and having a “high impact” on Bristol City Council, potentially leading to reputational impact, long-term congestion, increased air pollution, reduced regional productivity, and a threat to investment across the city, a report said.
