Welcome !
We are a group of residents who are considering potential transport and place-making improvements in Westbury village. We would like to hear your views.

About the group and its work:
- we are aiming to examine the issues and opportunities in the village streetscape, its use for transport and its quality as a place for socialising, walking and shopping.
- we will look at options for improvement.
- we are doing this now because the Council will at some future date be revisiting its proposals for Westbury village through the A4018 scheme The Council's transport team will be doing a further round of community engagement taking into account the strong community response to the Council's initial proposals in 2019.
- the group's work will initially be confined to street changes in the village only, whilst being informed by the impact from and on the wider area.
- the group aims to have good links with the many organisations and local communities in the village, including schools, churches, businesses, Westbury-on-Trym Society and SusWoT.
- the work will build on other related initiatives over recent past years.

About the survey
- the aim of this survey is to gather information and views to see which priorities emerge.
- we would like to hear the views of as many people as possible who have an interest in the village.
- this survey asks you about issues and opportunities, and suggestions for improvement.
- we will report back summarising the responses. Nothing identifiable to an individual will be reported or shared with third parties.
- most questions are optional. Compulsory questions are marked with an asterisk.
