Bristol road changes overlap: bus diversions and an enforcement appeal over Church Road access

First Bus has published service updates for its Bristol, Bath and West network covering closures in the second half of September [1][3]. In Bristol, Allison Road, Broomhill, will be closed on 25 September from 09:30 to 15:30, affecting services 1 and 36; buses will be diverted via School Road, Church Hill, Wick Road and Bath Road depending on direction, and stops including Sherwell Road and Wick Crescent will not be served [3]. In Symondsbury, West Bridport, the B3162 West Road is closed from 18 September to 2 October for the A35 junction improvement scheme, affecting services X51, X53 and A3 and preventing access into or out of Bridport via Miles Cross Junction [1]. Bristol City Council's planning applications weekly list includes an enforcement notice appeal at 91-101 Church Road, Redfield, relating to the material change of use of part of the land to operate a car wash and the creation of a vehicular access onto Church Road, involving works to the highway, without planning permission [2]. The two bus notices and the enforcement appeal together show road and highway impacts arising from both temporary works and a planning appeal [1][3][2].
