00:00Drivers will be stopped from taking shortcuts through many residential streets in South
00:07Bristol as part of a new Liveable Neighbourhood project. Bollards and planters will be installed
00:14in certain parts of Bedminster, Southville and Windmill Hill to reduce traffic next to
00:20where people live. Transport bosses at Bristol City Council say the changes will create a
00:26better balance between how streets are used, making them safer, quieter and less polluted.
00:32The project is the second one in the city, with a similar scheme planned for Barton Hill,
00:37Redfield and St George. A new public consultation is giving locals the opportunity to have their
00:43say about what changes should be made to the roads across an area stretching from Ashton
00:49Vale to Totterdown. Close to the city centre, this part of Bristol has high demand for better
00:55walking and cycling routes.
