4. A moving and connected Bristol % respondents who go to work by car (as driver) % respondents who go to work by other means This indicator measures the proportion of residents who are regular car drivers, as well as regular users of other modes of transport. It is a proxy measure for traffic congestion and traffic-related air pollution. It also measures if there is behavioural change to more sustainable modes (car sharing, bus, cycle, walk) in preference to cars for regular, short journeys. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Significantly fewer residents (47%) travelled by car to work as drivers in 2012 compared to previous years (57% in 2001) and this indicates a sustainable trend to use other modes. This is also very similar to the level recorded in the 2011 Census, at 50%. Significantly fewer residents were drivers in the deprived parts of the city (42%) and the most regular car drivers lived in the peripheral wards like Stockwood and Stoke Bishop (both 65%). Not surprisingly, less than a quarter of residents in the central areas of Cabot and Clifton drove to work. The wards showing the biggest drop in drivers were Bishopston at 41% (60% in 2005) and Westbury on Trym at 56% (74% in 2005). The current high cost of fuel is likely to be influencing car use. Equalities analysis indicated there were fewer disabled people (39%) driving and a gender difference with 45% of women driving compared to 51% of men. The downward trend appeared steeper for men, with an 11 percentage point drop in drivers (from 62% to 51%) over the last eight years. Further analysis (not shown) suggests that fewer people who live in rented accommodation (33%), fewer people who say they have ‘no religion’ (44%), but more people with lower educational qualifications drove to work. Other modes of transport to work: Some related indicators have shown the same behavioural change over the same period; residents who travelled as a car passenger to work had increased from 5% to 7% and residents who travelled to work by bus increased from 10% to 13%. Walking levels (17%) and cycling levels (8%) have remained stable. These indicators were also measured in the 2011 Census and recorded similar levels for travel to work (5% car passengers, 8% cycle and 19% walk). The Census provides a national comparison and in Bristol we have a higher proportion of people walking and cycling to work, compared to similar cities in England and Wales. Equalities analysis revealed that, compared to men, women were more likely to travel to work by bus (15% vs. 10%), walk (20% vs. 13%) or as car passengers (9% vs. 4%). Women were less likely to cycle to work (6% vs. 11%). 51 Ward % Ashley Avonmouth Bedminster Bishopston Bishopsworth Brislington East Brislington West Cabot Clifton Clifton East Cotham Easton Eastville Filwood Frome Vale Hartcliffe Henbury Hengrove Henleaze Hillfields Horfield Kingsweston Knowle Lawrence Hill Lockleaze Redland Southmead Southville St George East St George West Stockwood Stoke Bishop Westbury-on-Trym Whitchurch Park Windmill Hill Question number BRISTOL Sample size Y Priority neighbourhoods Older people Disabled people BME Carer LGBT Male Female Christian Muslim No faith 100 ea 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 r Cabot Clifton Southville Lawrence Hill Ashley Bedminster 47.2 41.7 31 46.9 56 34 41 54 51 50.9 51 % respondents who go to work (as driver) by car 44.5 21 49.2 24 37 Clifton East 44.3 39 38 57 44 51 54 61 60 57 51 46 61 49 28 49 42 44 28 62 49 65 65 56 58 41 39 43 52 43 Easton 52 confidence lower Cotham limit 3969 2012 25 23.9 39.2 46.7 65.0 26.1 42.3 33.0 49.0 44.6 62.9 42.0 60.5 41.2 60.4 13.2 32.4 16.6 32.2 25.9 49.2 29.1 49.3 29.9 47.5 47.7 65.7 35.1 53.5 41.7 60.0 45.3 62.2 49.1 70.9 50.3 68.3 47.7 65.2 41.1 61.0 37.3 55.7 51.2 69.7 39.5 58.3 21.1 36.4 40.0 58.1 33.4 50.7 34.7 53.2 20.5 36.9 52.9 70.1 37.8 61.2 55.1 73.3 54.5 73.9 46.9 64.9 49.0 67.1 33.1 49.1 Bishopston 45.6 48.7 38.6 44.8 44.5 49.2 33.3 44.0 37.1 48.6 47.9 55.1 32.1 53.5 48.4 53.4 42.4 46.6 47.0 51.4 41.9 62.3 41.8 46.8 Windmill Hill confidence upper Redland limit Southmead Filwood 70 Horfield 60 50 40 30 20 10 100 0 % 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 Knowle 0 2005 Lockleaze 56.7 Source: Quality of Life survey All Bristol City Council 2012 St George West Priority 2006 Brislington West % neighbourhoods 57.7 Frome Vale 21.2 to 29.8 29.9 to 38.5 38.6 to 47.3 47.4 to 56.1 Older 56.1 to 64.8 Hillfields people 2007 56.1 Brislington East Disabled people Bishopsworth BME 2008 Hartcliffe 55.8 Avonmouth Carer Westbury on Trym 2009 55.2 Henleaze LGBT Eastville Male 2010 Whitchurch Park 54 Hengrove Female 52 Henbury 2011 Christian 49 Kingsweston St George East Muslim 2012 47.2 Stockwood No faith Stoke Bishop 4. A moving and connected Bristol % respondents who are satisfied with the bus service % respondents who are satisfied with information on bus services These indicators measure public satisfaction with the bus service that is mainly provided by First Bus working with the City Council who provide the infrastructure. Responses are also likely to reflect satisfaction with information about buses, bus frequency, cost and satisfaction with bus stops and bus lanes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ % respondents who are satisfied with the bus service In 2012, 60% of residents were satisfied with the bus service, a significant improvement since 2005, when it was 48%. This improvement reflects major investment in the city with showcase bus routes and Greater Bristol Bus Network. Improvement over the last seven years at a ward level was most significant in Brislington West, Eastville, Hartcliffe, Henleaze, Horfield, Lawrence Hill and Lockleaze. Levels of satisfaction were highest amongst older people (67%) and people of Christian faith (65%). Further analysis (not shown) suggests that men, carers and people with higher educational qualifications were less likely to be satisfied, whilst people of Muslim faith or who live in privately rented accommodation were more likely to be satisfied. % respondents who are satisfied with information on bus services This indicator also showed significant improvement, at 55% (37% in 2006). Satisfaction was highest in Horfield and St George West and lowest in Bishopsworth and Filwood. The response by equalities groups was very similar to ‘satisfaction with the bus service’, with over 60% of older people and Christian people being satisfied with bus information. Most satisfaction was measured for the Black and minority ethnic group, at 65% and people of Muslim faith (67%). % respondents satisfied with information on local bus services 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 All Male BME Carer LGBT Older Older people Muslim Female faith No people Christian Disabled Disabled Priority 53 neighbourhoods Ward % Ashley Avonmouth Bedminster Bishopston Bishopsworth Brislington East Brislington West Cabot Clifton Clifton East Cotham Easton Eastville Filwood Frome Vale Hartcliffe Henbury Hengrove Henleaze Hillfields Horfield Kingsweston Knowle Lawrence Hill Lockleaze Redland Southmead Southville St George East St George West Stockwood Stoke Bishop Westbury-on-Trym Whitchurch Park Windmill Hill Question number BRISTOL Sample size Y Priority neighbourhoods Older people Disabled people BME Carer LGBT Male Female Christian Muslim No faith 100 ea 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 r Filwood Bishopsworth Redland Ashley Southville Cabot 59.5 56.5 49 66.5 68 63.7 65 58 48 51 58.3 69 60.1 50 64.7 60 62 Windmill Hill 51.8 54 53 67 48 60 70 65 65 66 61 74 52 61 70 65 48 54 49 57 63 64 55 64 62 51 64 56 50 70 Brislington East % respondents satisfied with the bus service confidence lower Kingsweston limit 4385 2012 16b 40.7 57.6 59.0 75.8 56.5 72.5 50.0 65.5 40.0 56.5 43.4 59.4 60.0 77.3 37.4 62.5 51.3 68.6 49.8 73.2 43.1 63.7 45.2 61.5 58.2 74.9 39.9 56.5 50.4 68.1 62.1 77.1 54.4 74.2 56.0 72.4 57.6 72.8 51.0 69.8 65.2 81.0 42.2 61.1 52.7 69.4 61.7 77.0 56.5 73.4 39.8 57.0 43.9 64.1 40.3 58.3 48.6 64.6 52.1 72.2 55.0 72.6 46.7 63.7 55.7 71.4 52.7 69.7 42.5 58.6 Easton 58.0 61.0 53.4 59.5 64.6 68.4 59.0 68.1 58.3 69.3 52.4 59.1 39.2 60.3 56.0 60.7 58.2 62.1 62.8 66.6 59.6 78.5 49.2 54.4 Cotham confidence upper Southmead limit Stoke Bishop St George East 70 Bishopston 60 50 40 30 20 10 100 0 % 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 Frome Vale 0 47.71 Clifton 2005 Source: Quality of Life survey All Bristol City Council 2012 Hillfields Priority 2006 Knowle % neighbourhoods 45.2 Whitchurch Park 48.1 to 53.2 53.3 to 58.3 58.4 to 63.5 63.6 to 68.7 Older 68.7 to 73.9 Clifton East people 2007 46.8 St George West Disabled people Westbury on Trym BME 2008 Stockwood 47.9 Hengrove Carer Bedminster 2009 56.9 Henbury LGBT Lockleaze Male 2010 Henleaze Eastville Female 54 2011 Avonmouth 58.1 Christian Brislington West Lawrence Hill Muslim 2012 59.5 Hartcliffe No faith Horfield 4.
