Should of been able to expand , the mall at Cribbs is quite a pleasant place to shop unlike the centre of Bristol , i avoid it like the plague , absolute sh** hole which seems to attract all the village idiots ! 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. Nowadays? Always has been but the police used to herd then into quiet side streets so no-one could see them, as long as I can remember (30 odd years) the city has had its dodgy corners, they're just more sides than corners now 😁

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 Google "YTL Filton" and take a look at the YTL Brochure for the Brabazon Development.
However, this is a 380 acre site, £2billion investment, 2600 homes, commercial development, 3 schools and potentially 10,000 jobs.
On transport, a new station and metrobus route to link nationally and locally.
There is nothing specific about any stadium, but maybe a possiblity to squeeze one in.

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 Not so sure I agree about Bear Pit. 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 would fill the "bear pit" full of all the crap that comes out of trashton gate and rename it sh** tip

Remember I lived in London for 30 odd years so I see the city a bit different to someone who has lived here all that time. I just think the bearpit is an eyesore, and the rows of caravans on the road from Ikea to Gloucester Road. Never seen anything quite like it

Seems like the successful and investment attracting mall at cribbs is doing too well so have been denied in the hope that the crap centre of Bristol will attract more people. Well it won't work for me, traffic queues, hard and costly to park, crappy shops and frequented by too many anti social types - none of these issues happen at Cribbs. Whatever happened to a competitive market?

I had a job near Ikea and I came out of the retail park and turned left, the at the end of the road left again. There were about 9 caravan in a line. all of them looked like scrappers. This was last July though

Welfare of employees direct or sub contract is paramount under CDM so I would love to know which contractor is carrying out works which involve workers sleeping in caravans on the Muller Road.

Next time you go along a motorway and find major roadworks (M4 Reading would be a good place to start) which has a "free" recovery service, you will find loads of your so called Caravans in situ next to the motorway with people living in them. Maybe you could stop ask them which contractor they work for ?

Also if you drive out of Avonmouth via St Andrews rd towards Severn Beach you will find plenty more contractors caravans who are probably working adjacent to the old Phill Black chemical factory.

Sorry for being a constant twat, in your considered opinion what are they being used for ? Drugs, porn or maybe for just sleeping in ?

This is allowed under the welfare laws as a temporary situation. They are not living in them as was suggested regarding the caravans on the Muller Road.

That’slife I am not denying it’s taking place, I am just saying it’s wrong. Especially in 21st century Britain. Unfortunately though lots of people now own multiple properties and the demand for housing is high and rents are ridiculous.

Its not Henbury whose being a twat. You, who talks about caravans without having a clue about what they are being used for. I have done something similar when I was contracting in the 1990's. Let me ask you this, if you were a self employed tradesman and you were offered a 3 month contract working 100 miles from home would you stay in digs at £40 a night or stay in a a caravan for nothing? If you decided on a caravan, would you take one worth thousands of pounds or would buy an old van for a couple of hundred. You need to wake up to the real world. Not e everyone works in a 9 to 5 job close to home.

People living in caravans on the side of the road is there prerogative but I read it as those caravans were being provided by the contractor not the workers themselves.
