Millions of pounds from developers could be used to create a new ‘liveable neighbourhood’ in South Bristol, if the idea from a local councillor is included in the council’s budget next week.
The proposal would cover much of Bedminster, Ashton and Southville and involve a whole series of measures to reduce rat-running by drivers in residential streets, improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, and make public transport more accessible.
But the man behind the project said the idea is not to close off car drivers from accessing anywhere, just to make the traffic more manageable across the whole area.
