‘I’ve been here for 12 years and this is the worst it’s ever been’

Unhappy traders along a city centre street in Bristol say business is being damaged and the area has become a ‘ghost town’ due to traffic restrictions made permanent by the city council in the summer.

Bosses at RSR Men’s Hair, Sandwich Sandwich and Central Studio on Baldwin Street claim they were ‘never consulted or even notified’ about the move, which saw a bus gates installed on Bristol Bridge and at both ends of the road.
