Overview

Background

Bristol City Council is asking for feedback on changes to the road network in the Western Harbour area, which could create a new city quarter, including new homes, shops and green space. Please note we are asking for early feedback on initial ideas, this is not a formal consultation on options.

Bristol City Council is considering ways to address problems with the ageing Cumberland Basin road system. The bridges and flyovers were constructed in the 1960s and require significant investment if they are to remain in use.

Three new ideas are being considered to create a simpler, less intrusive road network. These could unlock a mixture of new homes, retail and leisure development, plus high quality public open space and new walking and cycling routes.

You can see an overview of these proposals by clicking on the PDF below.

Your feedback will help to inform our next steps. You can give us your feedback from Monday 19 August to Sunday 15 September 2019.
