We want to let you know that you still have time to help shape future housing and transport development in the West of England.

 

Thank you if you have already taken part in our consultation which has been running since 9 November 2015 and closes on Friday 29 January.

 

The local councils of Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire are seeking people’s views on how and where new homes and transport should be provided over the next 20 years.

The West of England is growing and economically successful: the area is worth around £26bn a year to the UK economy, and around 95,000 new jobs are targeted to be created by 2036. Estimates state that the area needs at least 85,000 new and affordable homes by 2036, which is 29,000 more than currently planned and predicted.
