00:09blocked contractors from carrying out the works that were part of the scheme. Many of

00:15the neighbours have criticised the scheme that is a traffic-calming project with the

00:20aim to prevent drivers from cutting through residential roads in St George, Redfield,

00:27Barton Hill in Bristol. Some of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial measures have

00:34already been installed, however the majority of these changes to the roads as part of the

00:40trial area have yet to be rolled out but they will now be put on pause. Bristol City Council

00:48had faced strong opposition from some people living in the area because their journeys

00:54may become longer. The final decision on the trial is yet to be made.
