Councillors will meet on Monday, January 5, to discuss whether a controversial residents' parking scheme should go to a full Bristol City Council vote.

The Labour-run cabinet approved pilot parking zones for Brandon Hill, Clifton, and Kingsdown at a meeting in November but the Conservatives called in the decision.

A panel of councillors will discuss the proposal, which would see residents having to pay £30 for the right to park one vehicle, £110 for two and £310 for three.

The meeting takes place at 5.30pm at the Council House.

    “'If any profits will be made'

    They would have to be mentally retarded to not make a profit out of this, ignoring the fact that they're clearly planning to generate great revenue from it.”

    “Or a jaundiced, prejudicial, myopic, preposterous, backward, ill-thought out, unbalanced, selfish and blinkered minority view on transportation.....”

    “Hi Stan, no this is not Alex. But having said that, I can understand the confusion - he does have some well-thought out, balanced views on transportation..”

    “Shame I can't get down there in time to show my full support for this scheme.

    I'm wondering, if any profits are generated, how they will be used?

    Some proper decent cycle lanes, a subsidised bus route, improved park and ride facilities?

    Anyone know?

    Alex - is that you?

    I said, "IS THAT YOU"?”
