Liveable Neighbourhoods for Bristol

A group of organisations and individuals who believe Bristol needs Liveable Neighbourhoods in order to reduce the health inequalities that exist in our city.

[Oxfordshire Liveable Streets @OxLivSts]

Notice the difference in traffic now that term has started? Oxfordshire's population growth means traffic will get even worse by 2030 if we don't make a plan to deal with the additional cars on our roads. See https://t.co/RuSmlhG0Xo for more information about Oxfordshire's plan.

"The monitoring reports note that no significant traffic impacts were recorded on the primary alternative routes as a direct result of the trials and, most commonly, there were air quality improvements within and outside the trial area."

[Bath & North East Somerset Council @bathnes]

Results of three Liveable Neighbourhood experimental trials in B&NES have been published today as part of the next step in decision-making on whether to make them permanent.

Southville councillor Tony Dyer says that the South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood will be "an opportunity to make a real difference to BS3 and all future residents" https://t.co/90Ezh3mSKN https://t.co/90Ezh3mSKN

A liveable neighbourhood for south Bristol will create "a network of safer and quieter streets, improve air quality, enhance the public realm and green spaces, and improve access to local high streets and culture" https://t.co/wfFUDDcUj5 https://t.co/wfFUDDcUj5

Public space can be whatever we want it to be!
Do you prefer parking or a park?

All these filters were controversial when implemented. Now, nobody in their right mind would want them removed. Once communities experience the benefits, particularly in boroughs with low car ownership, it’s a no-brainer. More #LTNs, please

[Will Norman @willnorman]

New academic analysis of 46 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (587 locations) shows:
👍Substantial falls in motor traffic within LTN schemes 👍Little avg change in motor traffic on LTN boundary roads

LTNs can play an important part in reducing traffic💚

Incredible testimony in front of Oxfordshire County Council in support of LTN schemes this morning, including this speaker with limited sight.
She talked of her improved experience of navigating once unsafe streets and this is one of the huge benefits to people with disabilities.

Congrats Bath! Hopefully Bristol will have our first trial Liveable Neighbourhood very soon 🤞

[Bath & North East Somerset Council @bathnes]

We’ve set out proposals for five new trial Bath Liveable Neighbourhood schemes under Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders.

[Wheels for Wellbeing @Wheels4Well]

When we're told we're a "nation of drivers", so many of us are excluded.
We need safe streets, accessible pavements, comprehensive cycle and mobility networks and high quality public transport in order to provide #MobilityJustice and #Equity to all.

Thanks @BBCNews for de-mystifying #15minutecity proposals.

"no council is planning to stop people from travelling beyond the 15-minute radius. Instead, the aim is to provide more essential services within a short distance of people's homes"
