Your views on Yate transport problems

South Glos Council’s planning blueprint (“Core Strategy”) aims to regenerate the industrial estates to the west of Yate, to create a wider range of jobs and a more attractive approach to the town. The planners are looking at the transport problems in the area. They are already aware of a whole host of issues including:

• The need for improvements at Yate station
• Heavy traffic on Badminton Road and Station Road at peak times
• The difficulty getting into and out of South Avenue and houses on Badminton Road
• The narrowness of the bridge on Stover Road
• The problems caused by lorries wrongly going down North Road
