Roads in Bristol city centre which will be closed for Greta Thunberg march

World renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg is set to visit Bristol tomorrow (Friday, Feb 28).

The teenager will take part in a Youth Strike 4 Climate march through the city centre and stop by a mural of herself in Bedminster.

Thousands of activists from across the country are expected to flock to the city to watch the 17-year-old give a speech on College Green at 11am.

Due to the sheer size and scale of tomorrow's march the police and Bristol City Council have both raised concerns about managing the event.

Police have also warned that the event is likely to cause disruption on the roads and to consider their travel plans on the day.

A decision has now been made to close roads around College Green and the city centre for the march, from 9am to 4.30pm.

The TravelWest website has got a map of the potential roads which will be closed for tomorrow's event and the bus stops that will be out of operation.

Bristol City Council have now confirmed the roads which will be closed on Friday, February 28.
