The area
Westbury Park is an established residential area to the north of Bristol City centre with a population of about 5000. The housing is mixed late Victorian, interwar and modern development, the last of which is continuing. There is good access to open space with the Downs and Redland Green nearby while local shops enhance the community identity. The area centres on Westbury Park Primary School, the state primary school (next to St. Alban’s on Bayswater’s Avenue). Redland Green School is a popular secondary school just outside Westbury Park border that opened not long ago.
