East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood - Trial scheme information
We are installing the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial scheme in early 2025.
The trial will see measures, such as bus gates and point closures on roads using planters, bollards and pocket parks, installed across Barton Hill and parts of Redfield and St George.
Check the map below to see where measures are being installed. We have also created a quick film to help you navigate the trial area.

Trial scheme monitoring
We will be monitoring the scheme throughout the trial to make sure it is meeting the aims we set out with.
This is important as it will help us to understand what impact the measures are having on general traffic, active travel, and bus services.
This data will help frame further engagement with the community when we seek feedback on what changes may be required for a permanent scheme.
We expect there to be some initial disruption as people adjust to the changes. However, evidence from around the country has shown that over time traffic levels reduce within the scheme area and that traffic on main roads remains at a similar or lower level. This is because people tend to either switch their mode of transport or change their route.
To understand the impacts of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial scheme, we have been collecting data on:

Public perception and lived experience are also critical to understanding the impact of the scheme and what changes may be needed to make sure that it works as well as it can do before any measures are made permanent.
We will engage again with residents, local businesses and the wider community six months after the trial has been fully installed to help refine the scheme.
