Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
Over the years, Entry Hill residents have raised a range of concerns over time, with local Councillors, with BANES and with Avon and Somerset Police. These include:
-
Commuter parking, which means that residents (or visitors) can’t park near their homes, and increases in traffic congestion and parking on the pavements.
-
High traffic levels, with Entry Hill used as a ‘rat-run’ to avoid congestion elsewhere, creating problems including:
-
Risks to pedestrians from vehicles driving up onto the pavement
-
Pollution, both noise and air quality
-
Excessive speed (above the 20mph limit) and dangerous overtaking
-
Tailgating, failure to give way and general aggression
-
The difficulty in safely exiting from side roads
-
Damage to parked cars.
-
Entry Hill is extensively used by pedestrians, for walking to work, to catch trains and buses, for local shops and leisure and by children going to school. It’s a lovely area to live in, with good, local services, and these issues impact on being able to enjoy it to its full.
Liveable Neighbourhoods form a key part of BANES' current approach to managing ever increasing traffic and air pollution across the city; and to help address the very local issues of the sort described above.
