Land for sale at Cribbs ? after government block proposed expansion.
Government policy now says city centres first for development in retail and entertainment,
could mean no arena at Filton as well.
Just need some enterprising company to come in and buy all that land from the hangers to the Mall enough land to build thousands of houses and a stadium.

So South Gloucestershire isn't allowed to progress because Bristol City Council can't get their act together and manage to actually do anything progressive.

I can't see any of the other councils having £300m of investment good to go, yet they object to a council that does. Don't get me wrong, I hate centralisation of everything in the modern world but you cannot deny that many thousands of people have secure jobs in Filton and cribbs.... |

The mall expansion, I believe, was just building some more mall-y bits on the existing mall car park, and nothing to do with the old Aerospace runway development, which continues to go forward, afaik.

Think the arena will be down Ashton Gate paid for by Mr Pantsdown who'll reap all the money and take it to his little tax haven while bcc twildle their thumbs and the elected mayor fills his pockets just like his x boss red pants only my opinion mind |

The thing I hate about Bristol is all the graffiti. I'm not talking about murals, I'm talking about "tagging". It seems to be everywhere. Also that place in the roundabout at the bottom of Gloucs Road. Is that the "Bear Pit"? It looks like some sort of Hippy Commune. If Bristol wants to portray itself as a modern city then that has to go, along with all those people living in caravans on the side of the road. That is so wrong

That is so wrong I do a lot of tagging, but I'm not very good at it. If you ever see one that looks like just a load of squiggles and you can't really tell what it says. That's my one. |

I agree coming down to the bottom of Gloucester Road especially between Ashley Road to the Bearpit roundabout is an eyesore of graffiti that is an embarrassment to the city imho. |

The graffiti is great, gives some character to the area.

Are you not worried that an expanded Mall, 7000 new houses and the development thats going to happen in the Clifton Rugby area, will cause more gridlock traffic, even more than it is now? As some of that development is very very close to Oakbourne Rd, I am suprised your in favour of that expansion. Crow lane roundabout queues are bad enough as it is! |

There’s a lot of cool performers that go there and busk. Some really talented singers etc. It’s a bit of culture that does attract tourists to Bristol, believe it or not, which means money into the Bristol economy. The Bristol economy is currently one of the fastest growing outside London, so something right is happening. |

I'm not clued up on the whole Filton situation, all I picked up was it was originally proposed that a new entertainment arena was to be built in either the centre of Bristol or Filton
Obviously you'd think Filton would be the better option considering the sheer amount of land but then came the talks of no good city links from there to centre of Bristol (apart from Parkway) but then nothing really happened with it
And that's all I really heard
Didn't hear about the expansion, I'd happily see an expansion on the Mall to be honest, I much prefer shopping there than I do in town

That is so wrong There's a lot of things Bristol needs to do to portray itself as a modern city but I don't think tagging is what they should hit first, if anything.. I think it gives us more culture, I agree about the caravan stuff though I was only driving down Broomhill Road the other day and first thing I saw was a load of cars on the opposite side queuing cause some scruffy bloke was walking a horse up the road and then drove a bit further down and some absolute w***** came speeding down weaving in between buses and cars on a scrambler with no helmet Wasn't even paying attention to the fact he sped past a zebra crossing I was only left with one assumption to be honest and I think it's a real problem, but then again, what are the council gonna do about it? |

The plans I saw show more road junctions (roundabouts probably) to feed the new houses on the left going up Cribbs. More junctions = more congestion.
It's good about developing shopping in the city centre. The Centre has become a wilderness for cyclists and students. Bristol Uni is Bristol's biggest employer....but students aren't big spenders, unless you have a bar, pizzeria or café. The city centre is where people should go to work, study and shop - that's what makes a city great, and the council should facilitate that. By spreading everything around the outskirts all you do is spread the muck around, and residential areas where people should go to live, breathe, relax and socialise just become part of the rush, noise and congestion. Back to the future I'm afraid.

I completley agree. As its the centre place of our city all the scumballs of life come out and cause such anti socal behaviour which makes the experience of shopping, eating or drinking there etc..one I also try to miss like the plauge. But its not just Bristol it every city/town centre now a days. Even take kingswood high street for example.I live in Kingswood and many parts of the Kingswood/Hanham area are lovely.The high street is a high street so will attract twats, but has anyone notice recently those bunch of 5/10 middle aged watered up neanderthals (both male and female) hanging around by the spoons drinking cans of beer,playing music and shouting at people from 9am in the morning to at times midnight.Its a disgrace.Ive seen the cops go past them many times and do nothing. |

That is so wrong To be fair every capital city is rife with bad graffiti, it's a nightmare for all city council's and I'm not sure if any 'modern' city is free of it, although some have some pretty clever social schemes to combat it, not that any councils have any money for social schemes anymore |
