Further details about proposals to be taken forward as part of South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhoods were available on the Bristol City Council website on 14 August – but then mysteriously removed! It is unclear when it will be reinstated but, in the meantime, the text relating to Totterdown is reproduced below (with original typing errors marked [sic]!)
Further information may be available from our local councillors or the Liveable Neighbourhoods team. Relevant emails are: Cllr.Ed.Plowden@bristol.gov.uk (also Chair of the Transport and Connectivity Committee); Cllr.Lisa.Stone@bristol.gov.uk ; liveableneighbourhoods@bristol.gov.uk
Revised plans for Totterdown
The 2025 consultation told us local people were concerned by the one-way and direction changes. As a result, we are not bringing forward these changes.
Concerns were raised about supporting access to the Bristol Jamia Mosque on Green Street while tackling local parking pressure. This will be addressed through proposals for a Residents’ Parking Scheme.
Main changes to proposals for Totterdown include:
- Dropping plans for one-ways across the area.
- Moving the proposed bus gate on St Lukes Road to just north of the Hill View [sic] junction and adding four bus stops for the number 16 bus.
- Installing a camera to enforce a timed morning closure on Cambridge Street.
- Exploring crossing improvements on St Johns Lane.
- Developing plans for pedestrianising a small section of William Street.
- Retaining plans for a banned left turn from Bath Road into Angers Road
- Retaining plans to improve a section of Oxford Street next [sic] Totterdown Square.
Designs for a section of Oxford Street with the shops, next [sic] what is known locally as Totterdown Square are being shaped through a collaborative engagement process.
There have been a series of ‘co-design’ workshops and discussions involving residents, local businesses and community stakeholders, where participants were able to share their experiences, identify local priorities, and contribute ideas for the future of the square.
