Project Update
Wed 20th Dec 2023 at 12:00The formal consultation closed on Monday 4th December. Huge thanks once again to everyone who participated and contributed to its success: 24 engagement activities were delivered and attended by 343 people, 327 survey responses were received and 11 formal representations were submitted via letter. Our team has been busy analysing and writing up the results which will be shared in the new year.
We hope you’ve had an enjoyable end to 2023 and wish you all the very best for the festive break.
Less than a week until the Frome Gateway consultation closes
Tue 28th Nov 2023 at 18:00Our programme of consultation events is all but over. We've hugely enjoyed discussing the framework with all who have attended the various briefings, exhibitions, walking tours and webinars. We've had over 300 attendees which is a testament to how much you care about change in the area. There have also been over 240 surveys completed demonstrating your desire to have your views heard. We thank everyone who has participated in the consultation thus far.
We now have less than a week until the consultation closes at midnight on Sunday this week, the 3rd of December. If you haven’t already, we greatly encourage you to complete the survey: https://www.ask.bristol.gov.uk/frome-gateway-2023.
There are a few spaces left on this week’s walking tour which is the final event of the consultation. You can sign up here if you’d like to join us. The walk will take place on Thursday 30th November from 12:30-13:30.
Once the consultation closes, we will be analysing the results and making any necessary amendments to the framework. All of this will be documented in our consultation and consultation response reports which we will share with you.
We remain on track to have the framework presented to Bristol’s Cabinet in February 2024. If endorsed, it will then become a live document within the planning system and will shape development in the area.
