About East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood, where it is, the project trial and bus gates and exemptions.

About East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood 

The East Bristol trial scheme is the first liveable neighbourhood project in Bristol.

It's looking at improvements, designed in partnership with local communities, to achieve a better balance between how local streets are used by vehicles and people.

The trial area is in Barton Hill and parts of Redfield and St George, south of Church Road and north of the River Avon.

Measures to better manage traffic, provide safe journey routes for pedestrians and active travel,  and introduce new planters and pocket parks across the trial area are being  installed between 28 October 2024 and 10 January 2025.

Find out more about the scheme on the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood website.
