Bristol City Council has identified Bedminster Green and neighbouring Whitehouse Street as sites for regeneration in part due to how close they are to the city centre, local amenities and public transport routes, which make them ideal locations for people to live free of car dependency.

As part of the regeneration schemes, the council is investing substantially in active travel. This includes widening pavements, improving cycle routes, and making it easier for buses to travel through and around the area.

Parking is available at Little Paradise, Hereford Street, Sheene Road and Diamond Street car parks and in various resident parking bays through the area.

It is anticipated that car ownership among the incoming population will be far below the current average in the area. This is because of how the new homes will be marketed and sold, the wider supporting infrastructure to encourage cycling, walking and public transport, on top of changing patterns of travel and car ownership.

Bristol City Council are starting to plan liveable neighbourhoods in the areas of Southville, Bedminster, Ashton Vale, Malago Vale, Windmill Hill and part of Totterdown. We are working with people who live, work, study and travel through these areas to design improvements that will make the streets more people-friendly.
