Westbury Transport Group
(Page Updated June 24th 2026)
The Story so far…
WoTSoc took over the oversight of transport and traffic issues in Westbury on Trym in January, 2026. They are a key part of our mission to support and further the Village’s vitality, distinctive character and environment, as a place to live in, do business in and visit. But WoTSoc is the just latest such ‘overseer’.
You can view the previous history of this endeavour HERE.
Current plans are for a core ‘group’, which will meet regularly in person, with a wider corresponding ‘panel’ kept notified of its business, and able to contribute to it as appropriate. Its operating ‘rules’ and ‘scope’ are now agreed and can be viewed HERE.
Minutes of our meetings, once agreed, will be available HERE
The group has already been active in two ongoing transport areas.
First, based on a further ‘usage’ survey, it challenged the Council’s Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), of December, 2025 (HERE). Second, and based on previous work by the TPM, it bid under the 2026 annual Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) programme to fund and install the ‘missing’ zebra crossing at the War Memorial roundabout, on the Stoke Lane entry/exit.
Looking further ahead, WoTSoc hopes to be constructively involved in future consultation over the next phase of the A4018/CPNN response and also with other transport initiatives elsewhere in Bristol that the Council might decide to migrate to our locality, such as Residents’ Parking Zones and ‘Liveable Neighbourhoods’. There are likely to be other transport-related initiatives and surveys that we decide to run, such as on vehicle emission pollution, and we’ll contribute the possible reconfiguration of the Canford Lane/Falcondale Road lights, soon due for replacement. Plus, of course, relevant transport issues local residents feel need prioritising.
But it’s early days for this third and latest oversight phase, and we’ll update this website as we move forward, including continuing to post relevant documents and reports here.
In the meanwhile, if you want to contact us please email Tony Hoare (a.g.hoare@gmail/com), the interim convenor of the sub-group.
AGH, May 2026.
