Consultation has concluded

Overview

The Broad Plain strategy area is undergoing rapid social and economic change as new development transforms the area into a flatted, residential quarter. The public realm strategy focusses on the area bounded by Temple Way, Old Market Street, Midland Road, New Kingsley Road/Horton Street and Avon Street. As the strategy area is located next to the city centre and Temple Meads station, however, the strategy extends to include the major pedestrian and cycle movement corridors that pass through it.

These are:

  • the predominantly pedestrian route between Old Market and Temple Meads station
  • the hugely popular, predominantly cycle route linking the city centre to the Bristol and Bath Railway Path

The purpose of the Public Realm Strategy is to maximise the opportunities presented by the regeneration of the Broad Plain area. This will support the community vision, as outlined in the Old Market Quarter Neighbourhood Plan for an attractive central neighbourhood that is not dominated by traffic and the creation of convivial public spaces and people friendly streets.

Zoom meetings will be held on 29 September.
