In this latest edition:
- Totterdown’s Heritage – the ‘Banana Bridge’! Another great piece of research from TRESA Director Miranda Ford, timed to coincide with the bridge reopening following major refurbishment.
- We find out more about the proposed new ‘Southern Gateway’ for Bristol Temple Meads Station as a detailed planning application is submitted to Bristol City Council.
- Hillcrest School pupils report back on their involvement with the Summer 2025 Moth Study in Totterdown.
As we went to press, details emerged of more detailed proposals for the South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhoods project – there is a lot to take in, with some significant changes proposed, and some difficult decisions will need to be made. TRESA will be discussing proposals in more detail but we do encourage all residents to get involved and have a say in developments which will shape the future of Totterdown. Find out more at www.bristol.gov.uk/SBLN which also has details on drop-in information sessions being held during September and October.
Thanks to all our contributors to the latest issue and big thanks as always to the newsletter team now delivering printed copies of this newsletter to homes and businesses within TRESA catchment area.
A quick reminder as the nights draw in, that before long we will have Totterdown Art Trail to enjoy. In our Winter issue we will take a look at what you can expect from this year’s event which takes place 15-16 November.
