Bradley Stoke North East

Bradley Stoke North East is a residential ward within the town of Bradley Stoke in South Gloucestershire, formed largely on former agricultural land from the late 1980s and 1990s. Housing clusters are linked by a network of off-road cycleways and footpaths that were part of the town’s original layout, offering direct, traffic-free routes between neighbourhoods and to the Willow Brook shopping centre. The area contains primary schools, play areas and community spaces that serve day-to-day life, and local bus routes provide connections to neighbouring parts of the town and beyond.

Green corridors and a series of balancing ponds thread the neighbourhood, creating linear strips for walking and wildlife between housing areas. A long surfaced cycleway runs through the north-east sector and ties into the wider town route network, making short trips by bike a common choice for residents. Community groups and parish events use small halls and open spaces, and practical amenities for shopping, schools and play are all within a short walk or cycle of most streets.
