Sustrans is organising a Community Street Redesign Best Practice Conference in Bristol. The conference will include results of the pilot DIY Streets and introduce their future plans.

DIY Streets is a project which helps residents to re-design their own streets affordably, putting people at their heart, making them safer and more attractive places to live.  The project aims to replicate the positive successes of home zones, creating more peaceful spaces where kids can play and neighbours can chat, at a lower cost and with communities driving the process. 

Ten streets participated in the three year pilot which was part-funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and comes to an end in March 2010.

The conference will be held on March 11th 2010 in Bristol at the Council House from 10:00am - 4:30pm. 

Cost of the conference is £55 (or £20 for those with concessions) and lunch will be included. If you wish to attend the conference (places are limited) please fill in the booking form (click here) and payment and return to Mira Ruskin either via email mira.ruskin@sustrans.org.uk or post Sustrans, 70 Cow Cross Street, Farringdon, London, EC1M 6EJ.
