This has led to the city being recognised as the fastest growing hi-tech sector outside of London.

  • Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways (Fosbr) Statement to WECA Joint Committee Friday 25Th June 2021 at 11.15 Am
    Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways (FoSBR) Statement to WECA Joint Committee Friday 25th June 2021 at 11.15 am 1. Welcome to Dan Norris The Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways would like to congratulate Dan Norris on his recent election as WECA Mayor. We are pleased to see that, in his election manifesto, he attached importance to ‘creating a transport system for the 21st century, to include green and reliable buses, trains, and walking and cycling options to connect our region’. Transport is an important concern to many in this region and we are pleased that he will be taking an active interest in trying to improve the situation. 2. Road Building is not the answer Along with other transport and environmental campaigners, we consider that there is still too much emphasis on the creation of more road space. A recent example is the plan by South Gloucestershire Council to ‘improve’ a 7km stretch of the A4174 between Emersons Green and Longwell Green. The plans would see five roundabouts widened or converted to ‘throughabouts’, with an estimated cost of £30 million. It is now well understood that increasing road capacity is only a temporary fix for congestion – and, after a short time, traffic will build up again to saturate the newly available road space. We strongly object to this proposal and will campaign for this money to be used instead to improve public transport, including rail services. We note that Mayor Norris has also criticised these plans. 3. We need an Integrated Transport Authority Turning again to Mayor Norris’s manifesto, he states that ‘Access to public transport remains poor across the West of England.

  • Summary of Comments - Lets Talk About Supported Transport
    APPENDIX C(1) Summary of comments - Lets talk about Supported Transport Aim of the consultation The consultation sought to engage a range of stakeholders in a debate about the savings the council needs to make with its spending on supported transport services and the opportunities to reconfigure these services following a tendering process and a reflection on some of the recent changes e.g. concessionary bus passes for older people. The consultation ran from 1 March 2011 and closed on 11 May – a period of just over 9 weeks. How was the consultation conducted The council used multiple channels to get the message out that it was seeking to engage people on these issues. The channels used were: • Press release • Leaflets on all buses, community transport vehicles, in doctors surgeries and newsagents • Posters at Park & Ride sites • A listing on the council’s Consultation Finder which details all the council’s consultation in one place on the internet: www.bristol.gov.uk/consultationfinder • Twitter • Facebook • Informed existing operators of supported transport services • Emails to equalities fora / letter to Bristol Older People’s Forum • Posters and information packs to all the council’s libraries In order to have an informed public debate about these issues, the ASK Bristol discussion site was used which gave an overview of the challenge and opportunities facing the council with these services. The site also allowed people to access detailed passenger, expenditure and subsidy information to help participants make an informed contribution to the debate. This information can be seen at: http://askbristol.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/lets-talk-about- supported-transport-services/ Access for those people NOT online For those people without internet access, paper copies of a briefing paper were sent to the council’s libraries along with a paper feedback form.

The Bristol City Council (BCC) owned P&R site currently offers 580 car parking spaces and borders undeveloped council land that would allow provision for a further 270 spaces. The rail platform would sit across the boundary between the existing P&R car park and the currently undeveloped adjacent land. The new facility would be a category ‘F’ un-manned station consisting of a single platform (c105m) serving a single, bi-directional track and would be capable of receiving 3-carriage trains with passive provision for 5-carriage models. It is expected that the facility would start receiving trains in May 2019 providing access to a 40min service frequency with an aspiration that this increases to ½ hourly as part of wider MetroWest Phase 1 improvements. Passengers will benefit from an improved onsite amenity building, basic shelter, a customer information screen and cycle parking. The station will be covered by CCTV, have appropriate levels of lighting and will be connected to the existing car park by an Equality Act compliant accessible ramp.

  • Culture Leisure and Tourism Topic Paper Final Version
    North Somerset Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy Topic paper Culture, leisure and tourism September 2007 Culture, Leisure and Tourism and Topic Paper This is part of a series of topic papers summarising the evidence base for the North Somerset Core Strategy document. Other topic papers available in this series: � Demography, health, social inclusion and deprivation � Housing � Economy � Retail � Settlement function and hierarchy � Resources (including minerals, waste, recycling, energy consumption) � Natural environment (including climate change, biodiversity, green infrastructure, countryside, natural environment and flooding) � Transport and communications � Sustainable construction / design quality including heritage � Summing up / spatial portrait For further information on this topic paper please contact: Planning Policy Team Development and Environment North Somerset Council Somerset House Oxford Street Weston­super­Mare BS23 1TG Tel: 01275 888545 Fax: 01275 888569 localplan@n­somerset.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 The scope of this topic paper is wide ranging covering those aspects of society which enrich our lives. This is everything from the most fundamental of community services and facilities such as the provision of schools and health services to ways of spending our leisure time whether it be as residents of North Somerset or as tourists. With regards to tourism there are obvious overlaps between this and the economic topic paper and the work which is underway on the Area Action Plans for Weston­super­ Mare Town Centre and the Regeneration Area. No attempt has been made to cover every aspect of Culture, Leisure and Tourism. The intention has been to highlight those areas which may have the clearest implications for spatial/land use planning and especially the Core Strategy.
