We’ve made a response to the proposals for a large development on the Former Railway Depot, Clanage Road, also known as Ashton Sidings.
Response to Consultation
Bristol Cycling Campaign
Former Railway Depot, Clanage Road
REF:20/01655/F
20th May 2020,
Bristol Cycling Campaign object to the above application for the following reasons –
- The proposed diversion of the existing Festival Way Cycle route is less direct and more convoluted than the existing route.
- The proposed ramp and the proximity to the proposed steps introduce unnecessary conflict between pedestrian (both users of Festival Way and residents) and cycle movement through the site.
- The width of the shared cycle and footway through the site appears to be inadequate.
- The crossings over the roads do not provide priority for cycles or pedestrians.
