    If you do manage to replace him, his successor won't reverse his old policies - too much revenue to be had.
    Parking is a good example - why would any councillor turn down a licence to print and enforce money?

    A higher turnout this time (45%?)...usually a good sign that Labour have got their voters out.

    I take it you don't drive then MTG?

    Happy with those 20mph limits in packed urban areas and around schools etc, but on motorways? Really?

    I am ok with 20 MPH zones in densely populated urban area and outside of Schools to protect children.

    BUT ONLY IN SCHOOL/TERM TIME NOT 24x7 !!!

    I agree but when is the safety cut off point?
    6pm pedestrian gets hit at 6:30pm is it because the restrictions was removed or reckless behaviour in driver or pedestrian ? It's a lawyers dream.
    Me myself only last week nearly came a cropper in Rome totally forgetting they travel on the opposite side of the road. Standing at a zebra crossing, my instincts are telling me to look right first. As I step off my wife screams I look round just in time to stop the final decent of the step. I could feel how close that car was to my leg by air pressure.
    Simple story I'm a twat etc etc, but how many people in Bristol are in this country now needing to look right first not left?

    To me these enforcement's are in place, it will be a brave decision to overall something put in for safety.

    There are so many ****e and immoral drivers out there.

    There was a women who was hit by a drunk driver doing ~80 mph in a 30 at a set of lights, a few months later I was about to cross when another can't whizzed over the crossing. This hasn't been the first time and another person will be killed again soon there.

    A concern regarding Mr Rees would be his paper thin experience of project delivery.

    Mr Rees: Can you highlight what multi million projects you have been involved in?

    Rees: Errrr ..

    NOT REALLY THE best result .. as he does have a very gray area but red trousers must be bleeding from every orifice 1
    had he not tried to screw up the traffic I would likely have given him a second chance
    thank goodness the libs are out of Bristol council we now have a slightly better chance of improvement since they DRAGGED us down
    and the PCC ....Sue has done a very good job so far, and hopefully will not get complacent.....

    good results all round

    CITY UP
    Cheltenham up
    Forest green over first hurdle
    Elections 7/10 happy
    credit where due GAS sneak back up ....
