The scheme, known as the “East Bristol Community Hub,” aims to improve the quality of life for residents in the area by providing a range of services and amenities. The hub is intended to be a central point for residents to access essential services, such as healthcare, education, and social care. It is also designed to promote community engagement and social cohesion.

Green Councillor Ed Plowden, chair of the transport policy committee, expressed excitement about the upcoming installation of Bristol’s first liveable neighbourhood trial. This trial will be part of a pilot project and is expected to take place later this year. Plowden highlighted the trial’s significance in advancing the city’s commitment to sustainability and inclusivity.

The council’s decision to delay the project has been met with mixed reactions. Some residents are frustrated by the constant delays, while others are cautiously optimistic about the project’s potential benefits. The project, which aims to improve the quality of life for residents, is expected to involve a range of initiatives, including the development of new parks, improved public transportation, and enhanced community engagement.

This is a crucial step in ensuring that the trial is successful and that it meets the needs of the community. Seeking views from the public is essential for a successful trial. The council will also be looking at the trial’s impact on the environment. The council is committed to ensuring that the trial is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
