“Is it possible that Mr Bull didn't hold this meeting in Bristol because it might have been overrun with the many groups of people with a different viewpoint?
Such as cyclists,pedestrians,scientists with evidence of the harm traffic pollution causes,mothers with asthmatic children, etc.”

“Stand for election, Bob! One of the first things to do would be to equip police cars with cutting equipment, so that when cyclists go through red traffic lights, ride on the pavement, or ride with no lights on, they could stop them, fine them and then cut their bikes in half! And when they chain their infernal contraptions to railings or lamp posts.

And ban Angry Alex's Puritanical Cycling Sect! Or expel them to Sark.

They're an election winner!”

“"First it's pedestrians, then cyclists and cars are on the bottom"

Exactly the way it should be (it isn't, however. How can anyone say priority is given to cyclists over cars in this city, it's just not true).

If there was to be a sensible hierachy of priorities. I'd put buses between cycles and cars.”

“I tried to get there, but my bus didn't turn up yet again!”

“I wonder if this is the same 'Bob' who frequents these message boards..”

“I didnt even know about the meeting?”

“Let's get this right -the local branch of Association of British Driver's complaints about the city is that they added some pedestrian crossings so that it is safe to cross a road near a 600+ year old cathedral? Presumably those pedestrians don't pay road tax or MOT so Mr Bull feels he has a right to run them over.

Doesn't Mr Bull walk anywhere? Or is he one of those people who parks on the pavements outside whichever shop or restaurant he visits, and then, on the odd time he gets ticketed, he complains about Bristol being anti-car.

If you want to see anti-car, go visit London. Bristol's problems is that too many people are trying to drive, because FirstBus suck and there is no train service from Portishead.”

“Whilst I agree with Mr Bull, having a campaign against BCC frontesd by someone who does not live within BCC boundaries and to have a meeting arranged outside the BCC boundaries does seem a bit strange.

Run it from Bristol, hold meetings in Bristol and more people may turn up.”

“A thoroughly predictable turn-out.
One only has to look around our city to see that cars have priority almost everywhere. However, we do need to end the supremecy of private cars within the city and the
council should be applauded for any attempt to make the use of our roads less dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Private cars do have their place though - outside the city.”

“The world is entering recession, people are starving in africa, uk are fighting 2 wars. People are losing there jobs and houses. and your worried about a zebra crossing at st mary redcliffe round about. !.HMMN”
