Liveable Neighbourhoods for Bristol

Notice the difference in traffic now that term has started? Oxfordshire's population growth means traffic will get even worse by 2030 if we don't make a plan to deal with the additional cars on our roads. See bit.ly/oxfordtrafficf… for more information about Oxfordshire's plan.
