Day 20 in the LoveEaston house.
10am - A few housemates meet with Adrian Roper from Sustrans, in the cafe. He has brought along maps of the Easton area. These include areas showing the new 20mph limit, new Cycling City Infrastructure schemes and cycle routes. The group discuss the Cycling City initative and their plans for spending the money they had available to them. Potential future moves for further encouraging the use of bikes were discussed, along with ideas on how to improve the feeling of safety along the bath-bristol cycle route.
11.30am - Female contingent of the LoveEaston house head out to the local Pakistani womens group down the road. Photoshoped images of inital images were taken, along with precedents of possible other initatives. Issues of safety, rubbish and lack of entertainment facilities were discussed. They then treated us to a rather large and tasty curry lunch!
Afternoon - The LoveEaston household have a wander around Easton and take more comprehensive photos of areas we wish to look at further.
Evening - After dinner the housemates head out to Shanks' house for Beer and football. Sadly Chelsea win 4-0.

About Us
- ProjectLoveEaston
- Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October. The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations. This urban regeneration document will clearly set out residents’ visions and will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority. The ProjectEaston team is based out of the LoveEaston cafe on Stapleton Rd for the duration of the project and the outcomes will be exhibited at the Bristol Architecture Centre from the 3rd November. Come along!
