Residents living in parts of east Bristol will help design huge traffic changes due to be introduced later this year, according to City Hall chiefs. A liveable neighbourhood scheme will ban through traffic and rat-running in parts of Barton Hill, Redfield and St George - but some locals have voiced their 'deep concerns' about the scheme.
Pressed for details on what will happen, transport bosses at Bristol City Council said this will be left up to local people to decide. Changes could include new trees, planters and benches, and restrictions on some drivers passing through certain areas.
The liveable neighbourhood scheme is expected to cost £6,004,000, paid for by the Department for Transport. But it’s unclear what this money will be spent on.
