West of England Transport Association's next monthly meeting BRI

Come join us for the next face-to-face monthly meeting of the West of England Transport Association! We'll be gathering at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, The Education Centre (opp. main entrance) for to continue discussions started last month.

Following this short meeting, 645pm - 730pm Dr David Walmsely will talk (730pm - 830pm) about the various benefits trams and light rail (when integrated with buses), bring to a city including urban development, and also give an introduction to the UKTram Route Map which details how a new transport corridor gets its various approvals. He will explain how we can afford it and that if properly implemented they do not have to be on budget

There will be an opportunity to continue the discussion at a nearby pub after the talk.

WETA

WETA, the West of England Transport Association, was formed after the very well-attended meeting on October 8th, at which Professor Mark Barry spoke about how and why Cardiff had decided to revitalize its transport network with trams and tram-trains and gave advice for Bristol on how and why to do the same.

WETA is intended to be a forum for all groups and stakeholders - large firms, Local Authorities, Local transport and environment campaign groups etc - and working with WECA to be able to neutrally discuss options in the very large area around Bristol, going as far down as Wells and up to Gloucester. It is mode and route neutral and apolitical.

This event is organized by the West of England Transport Association in conjunction with the Bristol Civic Society, Bristol and Bath Area Trams Association, The Light Rail Transit Association, and other local groups. Burges Salmon, a leading Bristol Law firm, also supports it.
