bs3 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I see the Lib Dem sham of a council with the help of the little lap dog Nick Clegg are going for Green capital of Europe . It will bring no benefits what so ever to the ordinary people of this City . Is this the real reason that they haven't back the new Stadium and other capital projects.

BCAGFC Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 What a load of bollox a member of their team has just spouted....it won't bring jobs, investment etc, etc. Complete BS and goes to prove who we are fighting against. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I found it very ironic how it stated in their video that Bristol was a 'city of change' And how it may create more investment and jobs in the area... Hmmm isn't there already a proposal that does that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmissionImpossible Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Im just saying being the green capital is necessary a bad thing. True no one cares but it COULD attract more tourists, unlikely I know and business would have a chance, as slim as it may be to market themselves internationally. Who knows. I just cant see it as a negative, no matter now incompetent the Lib Dems etc have been regarding our new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me saying but you have put forward a very weak and flimsy argument in favour of this city becoming a green capital at the expense of private investment jobs and a fantistic new stadium .

EmissionImpossible Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 if its at the expense of our stadium then that's bollox. I just don't see why we cant be a green city and have a new stadium. Maybe thats unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 So did they mention the stadium then! This green city bid sums up what is wrong with Bristol in 2 parts 1) the circles that make decisions don't care about the man on the street 2) this won't benefit greater Bristol, from where Bristol gets its employees and wealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grove park city Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Any wonder that nothing of substance gets built what another cycle city waste of time project typical Lib/Dem bullshit who gives a toss some prat cycling to Spain no doubt fully paid from some council funded slush fund, its just the same old non event scheme for car hating tree huggers to jerk off to.

Kingswood Robin Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I don't think being the greenest city would be a bad thing, but not at the expense of everything else as seems to be the case. I'll quite happily be the second greenest city and lets have some proper facilities. Anyone visited our premier althletics venue at Whitchurch in this glorious olympic year?

Things have moved on.There is a new athletics track in Whitehall and the one at Filton has been upgraded to 8 lanes in a joint project with South Glos. The Kenyan Olympic team wouldn't be basing themselves in Bristol if Whitchurch was all we had to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby kellard hero Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Green cycling city my ass.I've yet to see an OAP cycling up Redcatch with their shopping on their handlebars.This all comes from this council sucking up to the Stoke Croft brigade and their like.

Presumably as we're in the final three against the Danish capital Copenhagen and Frankfurt, Germany's main financial centre, being the green capital and being successful are not meant to be mutually exclusive. To suggest that a small number of people using village green legislation to their advantage, is somehow connected to the green captial of Europe title is frankly bizarre.

Rich Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Make no mistake, the more our council bowcow to these minority groups and go down the avenue of supporting green party policies, just to get support. The more likely it is that we will win this sort of competition, ending up with more jobs in the environmental industry. Ending up with attracting even more of the politically motivated green thinking activists to our city, that are dictating council policy. Cycle city, Sustrans, Transport for greater Bristol, The Soil association, Cycle bag. Any more? Until we have a proper integrated transport system, moving the majority of people to where they want to go, at a reasonable cost, no amount of cycle lanes and traffic congestion inducing schemes will make this city truly green. Watch out they are taking control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
