Thanks for that info Steve, I would urge everyone to go to the website and make their feelings felt about BRT and the Ashton Vale link too, also South Bristol road link. I also declined to use the listing boxes in comment to the points raised beside the Ashton Vale consultation questionnaire. This seemed to imply that I was prepared to say some ideas were ok and would just have been inputted as positive response to the scheme. Here is the web address, I’m sure someone has already put it on the mails but doesn’t harm to do it again!!

PS Still seeing the firecrests in my garden (backing onto Malago) this area is alive with wildlife that just wouldn’t have a habitat left.

PPS Went to Parks and Green Space strategy meeting last night – asked questions about how all these plans being made for green spaces would be affected by BRT routes – i.e. Cotswold Road Open Space, Marksbury Road Open Space and or Northern Slopes as someone else reminded me. We were trying to ascertain whether green space plans or priorities would hold any sway over BRT route planning. Sadly it seemed that it wouldn’t really. However we just need to keep our presence high at all these council level meetings so they know that we would be a force to reckon with.

Hoping that you are all enjoying the wonderful autumn colours around us, especially today with added sunshine! Nixie
