A vision of having a cafe in every community is just one idea that has been put forward to revolutionise the Easton area.

A proposal to turn land underneath the M32 flyover at Ikea into a market or skate park is another plan that features in a new exhibition showcasing what Easton residents want to see in the future.

The Love Easton Urban Design Task Group organised a series of events in October to find out what people thought.

The results are now on show at the Architecture Centre in Narrow Quay, until November 22.

The Love Easton Community Cafe in Stapleton Road served as a base for the month of activities, which included a street party, workshops and music events.

The views have been collected to create a document that sets out what the community wants from Bristol City Council and developers. In it, residents set out five 'visions' they have for the area.

They say they want a cafe in every community, they want to enhance the identity of the area, revitalise Stapleton Road, revamp green spaces in the area and transform Old Market.

Ideas for enhancing the area include turning the Stapleton Road railway bridge into an artistic hub; getting rid of the "crime-friendly" land in the middle of the Lawrence Hill roundabout in favour of a crossroad; and revamping the Easton Leisure Centre.

The exhibition features several of the documents available for visitors to flick through, photos of the consultation sessions and activities during October, models of the proposed plans for development and maps with tags attached to show people's favourite places in Easton.

Shankari Raj, co-ordinator of the project, said: "At the private viewing of the exhibition, we had the city development team from the council come to have a look.

"Our hope from now is that some of the ideas will go forward and be taken into account in future planning for the area. All of the things that came out of it are a conglomeration of people's feelings within the area.

"The major things that came out of it are things like the Lawrence Hill roundabout and the M32 flyover.

"People also really want to make sure the independent shops are kept."

There will be a meeting for Easton residents at the Easton Community Centre on Tuesday, November 17 from 6-8pm to discuss the findings of the project.
