How dare the council close this putrid and little-used subway with a pedestrian crossing already above it to make Redcliff Hill safer for the most vulnerable road users

The Rainbow Bridge is still looking drop-dead gorgeous

More of this everywhere please

Great question at We The Curious

Great to see the official opening of the permanently pedestrianised Princess Victoria Street

What a joyful way to start the day recently, joining Bristol’s first ‘bike bus’. More of this please!

This new permanent barrier between Broad Quay and the area-formerly-known-as-the-fountains seems rather excessive

Sad to say that you usually don’t see this sort of thing happening in more affluent areas of Bristol

The fact that it took me about ten seconds last night to take the photo illustrating this story shows that most of the cycle lanes around the Centre are currently completely unfit for purpose

The three-wheeled pied piper Dom Whiting brought those pesky cyclists out in force today as Drum & Bass on the Bike returned to Bristol

Transport secretary Heidi Alexander is with new metro mayor Helen Godwin. Alexander said: “There were some candidates who thought this job was about sitting in a chateau, appointing a deputy… The people of the West of England deserve better than millionaire politicians treating politics as a game.”

One of Bristol's invisible cycle paths could soon be made more visible. I can never blame pedestrians for ambling into the way of cyclists here. The whole set-up of the Centre is just an omnishambles.

I really want to like these new 'cyclist waiting aids' but I think they are a bit pointless, solving a problem that was not there to be solved

This should absolutely be the norm

"You talk to anybody around here, we're very worried. We all have signs up in our windows: Save Park Street." Traders on what was once Bristol's most prestigious shopping road are united in their opposition to close it to through-traffic

Jacob's Wells Road and Jacob's Wells Baths need to be written with apostrophes; and I will die on this hill

Souvenir selfie on this splendid morning next to Bristol’s best road name

Is the end nigh for one of Bristol's most notorious eyesores?

This is a fabulous opinion piece from Krista Yellowhammer which reminded me of when I used to balance both of my daughters on my bike - one at the front and one at the back. Happy days of just managing to get up Park Street.

As low-hanging fruit goes, closing Prince Street Bridge to cars is an example of doing something small that could make a big difference. It's only one-way to cars; and the narrowness of the other side causes regular conflict between pedestrians and cyclists. Just get it closed!

Here's a journalism first for me: I have a very strong suspicion that this opinion piece was written by AI. I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt right now but have asked her for clarification

A pontoon that was originally due to connect Temple Quay with the proposed site of Bristol Arena is years behind schedule and almost four times the cost of the original budget

This is fantastic

Something happened in Bristol today you might never have seen before 📷 Rich Carpenter

You know what I see here? A splendid new segregated bike lane. What now needs to happen is to be able to safely cycle to the top of Colston Street from the bottom of St Michael's Hill.

The biggest mistake Bristol ever made was dismantling our citywide tram network

These are 24 new food and drink openings to look forward to in Bristol this year

This is the end of a very sorry saga: a barge that Bristol City Council purchased for £1.4m will be broken up and sold for scrap

Great to see 'the church above the shops' be given listed status

Thanks to all of the shops selling my two Bristol guidebooks in the run-up to Christmas 📚

"By supporting this campaign, you're not just helping to save a cafe, you're standing up for Bristol's independent spirit and resisting the tide of gentrification and homogenisation in our city"

This is extremely worrying. Be careful out there while cycling.

How does a car even become wedged like this? Another reason why Bristol needs liveable neighbourhoods.

I'm pleased to say that @bristol247.bsky.social has today joined BlueSky. We'll still be in the other place for now but it feels great to be here.

After a two-year hiatus, Idle Hands will be reopening this week in a new location

"We shouldn't stop the Liveable Neighbourhood but we have to listen to its detractors" writes a Barton Hill resident, warning that if we do not listen to our neighbours, "we run a risk of adding more fuel to a petrol fire already getting dangerously out of control" www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Who needs the Bristol Beacon stage when you are Jamie Cullum? www.bristol247.com/culture/musi...

As I was cycling through some of the roads in Redfield and St George earlier today, I thought what a brilliant difference the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood is already making. But then I stumbled across this protest in Barton Hill. There is a long way to go. www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...
