TRESA submitted two questions to Bristol City Council Transport Committee on Thursday 11 July 2024, and received the following answers. We will keep this on TRESA’s agenda and update members and residents as we receive news.

Question. Is the proposed closure of the Bellevue Road/Wells Road junction going ahead?
Officer Response
The closure of Bellevue Rd/Wells Rd junction will be consulted on as part of the statutory consultation for the wider scheme. This does not mean it will automatically proceed but we do want to get people’s view on the full scheme. The closure proposal is being considered alongside other work to bring forward a South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood and no final decision has been taken as yet whether to proceed with the closure or to consider it as part of the wider scheme.
Question. What can TRESA, and local residents, do to make officers fully aware of the implications of the junction closure?
Officer Response
Officers are well aware of the concerns raised and are discussing next steps with the Committee Chair and will give due consideration to the issues raised. We would encourage residents to respond to the statutory consultation that will launch shortly and provide their views on the proposals.
