It's being degenerated to regenerate! It doesn't have the investment that Southville and Clifton have had. Everything has been 'on hold' for Metrobus, and now 'Western Harbour'

The dangerous roads and impossible cycling situation here were literally the reasons why we didn't choose to send our child to the lovely Hotwells School - the idea of cycling to and from there twice a day was too risky. Speed limits and provision for cyclists are badly needed here.

yes, but I can't find many people, here.... Twitter and Bluesky are both pretty quiet, which is a shame. Twitter was once really useful and arguably, democratic.

Every day I am proud of my ward mate Sibusiso and my @greenparty.org.uk colleagues across the country. Together and shoulder to shoulder with our residents, we stand up to fascism and say No, not on our watch, not in our city.

Just ignore all the myths about low traffic neighbourhoods: they’re popular, effective and here to stay | Izzy Romilly
After the high court ruled one high-profile scheme unlawful, it is important to make the case for LTNs. Luckily, there is a strong one to make, says Izzy Romilly of climate charity Possible

Let's hope that they also listen to the results of the #westernharbour consultation.

Banks would probably have benefitted from being cancelled. Reform would have played to this, and alleged a conspiracy. I wanted to see how much Banks knows about Bristol public transport 😂 and why he spends so much time with Trump. The chair repeatedly made his red card warning of rule breaking.

@tristancorkpost.bsky.social has written at length about Arron Banks racism. The things he is calling for (mass deportations, cultural genocide) are literally classed as crimes against humanity under the Geneva Convention. I'd ask if you'd allow a nazi candidate to speak, but you've already answered

we can't have a shared space at #AvonCrescent due to government safety concerns, so the ridulous catch 22 endures! #Kafka

new #WesternHarbour slides added yesterday. How is bringing all the buses to a two-way north end of #AvonCrescent a good thing. This new road will demolish someone's home and drive a thick disconnecting wedge between the rich cluster of heritage buildings. Does @underfallyard support this?

👂 Greens WILL listen to the results of the consultation 📉 Falling recycling rate must improve to meet gov targets and and save money ❓ Larger recycling containers, more consistent services in shared dwellings, soft plastic recycling? More on the #Bristol recycling and waste consultation:

Bristol Greens ask for residents' views as they pledge to improve recycling across the city

Removing cars from shopping streets is working in Ireland by improving the retail experience. Just like on Princess Victoria Street and Cotham Hill in Bristol. We need more of these schemes.

Despite Labour scaremongering, no decisions on future waste collections have been made. If you are a Bristol resident, fill out the consultation at www.ask.bristol.gov.uk/waste-consul... to have a genuine say.
