One of Bristol’s most dangerous walking and cycling routes to be improved

By Martin Booth  Friday Aug 9, 2024

A notoriously narrow pavement shared by pedestrians and cyclists next to a very busy road could finally be made safer after extra money was found.

£283,000 will be spent on an ‘outline business case’ for improving walking and cycling along Bath Road from Cattle Market Road near Temple Meads to the Three Lamps junction.

It follows an unexpected underspend on other projects across the city after funding from Active Travel England.

Less money than thought has been spent on walking and cycling schemes at Filwood Quietway, Deanery Road, Old Market Quietway and Malago Greenway.

£50,000 of the unspent funding will also go to the city council’s on-street cycle hangar programme.
