In recent years there have been many attempts to obstruct pavements in the city with advertising signs. In 2022, 26 BT Street Hubs were proposed – though Bristol City Council eventually rejected all of the applications.
Now, three Pulse Smart Hubs are being proposed, which are almost identical in size and function and would consist of large roadside dual-sided advertising panels (see planning applications 24/03082/F , 24/03083/A , 24/03084/F , 24/03085/A , 24/03086/F, 24/03087/A).
BWA has again had to object to these proposals on the grounds of both safety and amenity. See our objection for full details.
