  The Ashton Vale to Temple Meads rapid transit route will skirt round Southville and Bedminster, stopping at Ashton Gate and then Create Centre, passing Spike Island, onto MShed and then ... it doesn't go to Temple Meads!  £50m and it won't actually stop at its stated destination.  Amazing! There isn't enough money to put a stop at Bristol's principle train station. So what's the point in doing this then? If we haven't...

  A motorcyclist from Windmill Hill in Bedminster is warning others charged with speeding on Bristol's Portway on April 22 last year that their convictions might not be safe. Magistrates at his trial in Taunton found Mark Lindsay not guilty of the speeding offence and called into question the accuracy of the speed enforcement officer's equipment. Mr Lindsay successfully argued that the laser and camera used by officer Clive Walsh...

It also calls for walking and cycling to be promoted and says that the 20mph schemes 'dovetail well' with that aim. The report calls for a city in which it is...

Residents of Palmyra Road requested that it be closed to traffic last night due to the conditions there. Bristol City Council has said that Sita will be resuming waste and rubbish collections today.  It is anticipating that it may encounter some problems on side roads, but has asked that residents put out their...

  If the weather forecasters are right, the big freeze is set to stay with us right up to Christmas. A severe weather warning remains in place for tomorrow. After a difficult rush hour this morning, traffic has been able to move about on most of the main roads, but as happened earlier this year, many of the side roads are extremely dangerous, as the fresh snow has fallen on compacted snow and ice. Avon and Somerset police are...
