Purpose

The decision will permit Bristol City Council
to submit a funding application to the Road Safety Fund Bid to
improve highway safety infrastructure on the A432, Fishponds
Road.
Having missed out on our allocated funding for Tranche 1 there is a
strong case to invest in road safety measures on the A432. The
corridor has seen 23 Killed or Seriously Injured in the last 5
years (2 fatal, 21 serious) which is approximately 5% of the total
for the Bristol area.
