HERE’S YOUR GUIDE TO EASY ACCESS TO EAST STREET!
Work has commenced in earnest to transform Bedminster Green next to East Street. The first stage of the exciting project is to install sustainable heating and travel routes along Malago Road. East Street is still very much open for business with plenty of local carparks open for shoppers.
DRIVING
Malago Road and Dalby Avenue are now one-way southbound, driving out of the city. For cars arriving from South Bristol access to East Street is still very straight forward.
PARKING
There are four carparks within a 5-minute walk of East Street, including two right next to the shops. These are open and accessible:
Little Paradise Carpark – Accessible from Malago Road by turning right onto Stafford Street (Free for one hour and only £2.00 for 4 hours).
Hereford Street Carpark – Accessible from Malago Road (50p per hour)
The two which are closest to the top of East Street:
Sheene Road Carpark – Accessible from Sheene Road (50p per hour)
Diamond Street Carpark - Accessible from St John Street (90-minute limit)
ON STREET / RESIDENTS PARKING
Opposite the Green you can turn right onto Little Paradise. There is on street parking available with the RingGo. Parking is free on Bedminster Parade for 30 minutes.
DISABLED PARKING
At the end of Little Paradise there is a disabled carpark which enables access to East Street via a pedestrian walkway. For those looking to park further down the road, Mill Lane features a number of on street disabled spaces with easy access to East Street.
BUSES
The Northbound number 24 now comes down East Street. The Southbound route is unaffected. All other bus routes to East Street are running as normal for easy access to East Street’s shops.
