Sunday street parking charges about to start

“A maximum stay of an hour is hardly likely to encourage shopping is it?”

“I was in Tenby last weekend, it cost me £1.50 to park all day, enough said!!”

“It has obviously caused problems for a lot of posters on the Liberal Left when I continually expose their lack of perspicacity and their political ineptitude Richard.

But Northcliffe couldn't afford to employ me, even in retirement. . That's an interesting concept though. . Have you ever thought of writing for the Beano?

“Just what is 'Fabian gradualism'?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters.

"In the context of socialism or Marxism which is where you have probably heard it, it means a slow revolution that makes massive changes over a period of time and is masked by diversions. Such diversions are usually created as smoke screens and could be economic like a failing economy, a health care crisis like a pandemic, pop culture crisis like Michael Jackson's death, or the use of media to divert attention from real issues by concentrating on such issues as marriage infidelities and the performance of past leaders. Over a period of time, a revolution in a government occurs and the citizens are duped and don't even realize it. That's what fabian gradualism means. Sound familiar?"

"Global Warming is a way to kill democracy."

I'm afraid that again there will be a society organised, masterminded, regulated, controlled from above by the 'anointed'' by the people who know better than the rest of us what to do. . I'm afraid this is something we went through it in the past.

"It is a new ideology a new 'ism'. . Communism is over but they think 'global alarmism' is a very good idea."

“Gary Hopkins appears to be very quiet on this subject?

I guess he cant spout the usual drivel of how under Labour the Sunday parking charges were extortionate and that the Lib dems have addressed this and saved the World etc etc blah blah blah....”

"If you go to The Mall parking is free - if you go to Cabot Circus you have to pay - a lot! So people go to The Mall.

This will affect small traders.

This is about 'get the cars out of Bristol' along with the huge bus lane on the downs with the odd bus in it every now and again, but in the car lane queues all the way back to the M5! AND the bus stop pull ins being removed so all traffic has to stop behind the buses whilst people get on and off and the driver sells his tickest, when there is no room in the road for a seperate bus lane, AND roads off whiteladies Road being made cyclist roads only!! OMG BCC are totally insane and we are insane for paying their wages whilst they spend 'our' money on hair brained schemes.! let,s not forget the fiasco on the center where pedestrians have been run over because of a bad concrete scheme which causes traffic mayhem pedestrian confusion which was out there to cover up a medieval harbour that if it had been opened up could have brought millions of punds to this city. Like the developers who have recently pulled out of the General Hospital scheme I believe Bristol is CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!"

These councillors are sick people who create and produce nothing, and still think money just grows on trees. . They are Gordon Brown clones.

They are attempting to force the population to abandon their cars and motoring, and take up cycling. . But it just isn't going to happen.

They are now all like Brezhnev era apparatchiks just giving the party line, and not caring want problems their continual madness causes, because it doesn't effect them.

The Mayoral Election will be your last chance to influence this madness for a long while. . Use your vote wisely. . Watch out for the forked tongues.”

“"By increasing the turnover of car parking spaces in the centre more people can park overall throughout the day, encouraging more shoppers."


Okay if you expect that person shopping to be in and out within the hour....on a Sunday?

So no time to stop for coffee, lunch, etc...what about those businesses?

In fact who do they expect to bring into the city centre on a Sunday/Bank Holiday if you can only park for an hour?


Kate Hartas, you really are a true BCC Spokesperson by spouting absolute tosh like this...”

“Thank goodness I bought an ex-BCC garage with hard standing at auction last year - going to save me a fortune in the long run. Just wait until they start making charges on employers who provide parking spaces for their employees - this scheme brought about by central Gov't last year hence my trip to the auction rooms. Employers aren't likely to pay up & not pass the cost on.

Broadmead is pretty much dying on it's feet from what I see & this stunning piece of economic suicide courtesy of the nit-wits in the Council House may well be the death rattle.

Show these ding bats what's what with your votes folks.”

“Well done to the Liberals who are doing their very best to drive businesses into the ground, especially those in and around the city centre and Park St/The Triangle.
This is utter madness and will drive even more people to shop at The Mall.
The Liberals hate the car and love buses but seem to have forgotten that Sunday bus services are either dismal or non-existent. And, if one actually turns up on time, it's always horrendously overpriced.
Once again, Bristol, led by the useless Liberals, tames aim and shoots into an empty goal. As ever, it's an own goal.”
