Statement from South Gloucestershire Council on roadworks in Filton.

A spokesperson for South Gloucestershire Council said: “We appreciate the highway improvement schemes taking place in Filton at present are causing disruption and we apologise for any inconvenience this is causing.



“Our work in the area includes ducting work, which will help us make improvements to traffic management to reduce congestion in the future, and the installation of improved walking and cycling facilities. Work is also being carried out by developers on a new junction at the former airfield site.



“Unfortunately, it was not possible to stagger the various projects in this instance as they need to be in place in advance of the new arena being built. We also need to minimise the overlap with other major road improvement works scheduled to take place in the area. We have essential maintenance of the A38 Flyover at Gipsy Patch Lane junction due to start in the near future.



“We always try to minimise disruption wherever possible and the most substantial part of the underground ducting work on the A4174 ring road was carried-out during the school, summer holidays when traffic flow is traditionally lighter. This work is continuing, and we aim to revert to off-peak lane closures as soon as practically possible to further reduce the impact. The ducting and walking and cycling work is scheduled to complete by the end of the year.



“We encourage people to follow our social media channels for updates throughout the work and to sign up for our highways newsletter, which can be done on our website.



“Further information about the transport improvement work taking place can be found at: Filton, Patchway and Cribbs Causeway transport improvements | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council (southglos.gov.uk) and we advise people to check One.Network for the latest information relating to roadworks and traffic congestion in the area. We thank people for their continued patience as we continue to deliver these important improvements.”

WE need to see a step change in how we fund our public services. As someone not far out of school and as the brother of a soon-to-be children’s nurse, I have seen the devastation of austerity on our public services. As a Green MP, I would fight to ensure those with the broadest shoulders […]
