    It's a great pity, though South Gloucestershire may soon have a
    super-duper stadium which will serve the good people of Bristol.:smiley:

    That sounds like it was voted for by young, ****y lefties, which Bristol is rife with.

    Hell, even I'm one. Bristol ain't that bad, really. We have a new sweet shop opening on East Street. That's progress.

    The City overall is a great and largely pleasant and safe place to live.

    What lets it down for starters is an archaic road system, where extra sets of traffic lights giving equal priority to unclassified side roads with the main arterial highways suffering massive queues as a result are seen as progress
    Plus
    No sizeable concert venue

    Everywhere I go I look at what other towns and cities have as basics, and we have none of them !
    No new football stadiums
    No truly International Airport despite Filton having the best runway outside of London and the road/rail networks on the doorstep
    Sub standard and really expensive public transport

    Unfortunately whereas other cities in the UK have embraced the expanding suburbs into the control of the central city council, Bristol has not done so. The populace of the suburbs of our City consider the Bristol City Council to be relatively incompetant and avoid any form of integration. Therefore when Bristol applies for improved facilities to be funded by Central Government, we do not carry enough clout to obtain what we desperately need. Its another example of the resistance to change and integration and progress in all things Bristolian. United we have a chance of success, divided we will almost definately continue to fail!!!
