Are you annoyed by traffic noise where you live? What do you think could be done about excessive levels of traffic noise? "Environmental" or "ambient" noise is unwanted or harmful outdoor sound created by human activities, including road, rail, aircraft and industrial noise.

We would like your views on how environmental noise affects you so you can influence how the noise action plan is implemented in Bristol. We will be giving you more opportunities to influence the implementation of the noise action plan during 2009 as part of an EU funded project called Citizenscape.

The consultation will be open until end December 2009.  All comments and 'quiet space' suggestions will be collated and used to inform work on a noise action plan for Bristol.  Cllr Jon Rogers, Executive Member for Transport and Sustainability is interested in the views that have been expressed so far and talks about noise pollution in Bristol here: www.youtube.com/bristolcitycouncil
