Revise the Consultation on Number 2 Bus Route

We the undersigned We, the undersigned demand that the Council force significant amendment to draft plans published by WECA in its “Consultation on Improvements to the Number 2 Bus Route (A37/A4018)”. These plans will result in a range of negative impacts on our community and represent a real danger for residents, particularly for a significant number of young children. Our primary concerns relate to Section 3, and in particular, the area between Redcatch Park, Broadwalk Shopping Centre and Perrett Park.

WECA did not sufficiently publicise its Early Consultation, and therefore most residents missed the opportunity to respond. Furthermore, there is no evidence provided by the operator, First Bus, as to how the proposed changes to this stretch of the A37 will help improve the Number 2 bus service. In addition, the name of the current consultation gives no indication that the residential streets surrounding this bus route will be adversely impacted.

We call for a WECA to run a full revised consultation process, which takes into consideration the concerns of the local community and which includes better quality information; for example, to enable residents to review a single map of the whole local area. Any proposed changes must then (by law) be further consulted upon by Bristol City Council in the form of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO).
