An excellent rabble-rousing post on the On The Level Blog on Bristol's Top Ten Traffic Debacles.
Depressingly, most of them seem to have happened in the last six months.
Also, news of the illegal destruction of a wood beside Eastville Park. It seems the owner of the land may be prosecuted, but we shall see. It will also be interesting to see whether this incident is taken into account if and when a planning application is made for this site.
Sometimes it feels as if things are going from bad to worse.
But luckily there are also clever people with good ideas to stand up to all the crap. Pete Goodwin's petition for a transport hub on Plot 6 at Temple Meads is far too useful and practical an idea to ever be championed by the likes of the West of England partnership. Likewise, Josh Hart's proposal for a Cycle Expressway from Clifton to Temple Meads would be a far better use of the Cycling City money than farting around with Princes Street Bridge.
Be realistic. Demand the impossible.
