Drew Peacock Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 He would need to apply for , and ADVERTISE a TTRO 16 weeks prior to any closure - easy for a local newspaper to pick up on and run a story if this was imminent. The story in itself doesn't surprise me though, as I know from personal experience this ****** would also love to shut the M32 on Sundays as well. It is a TPCA which is required and there is not one in place, so I am not sure this is anything more than a rumour or hoax. Where did the OP see this? All that is happening on 3 May is his shutting of Corn St for his "keeping Sunday special" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand the need to close Corn St when 20 metres away there is the traffic free City Centre and the haurbourside all the way to Cumberland Basin to bike, juggle and clown about in. Why cause unnecessary disruption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Well you all voted this moron in. Living in Portishead I didn't get a vote, living in Portishead closing the Portway deprives me of my preferred route on match days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentions it being around Big Green Week, but that is in June. Unfortunately there is no time limit for a TPCA so they can apply for it the night before!

BobBobSuperBob Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 To be fair he is clearly an arse but lots of people voted him in.... When is he up for re election?

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't mind, I only use the Portway twice on a Sunday so thanks George you ******* idiot. Don't think the people of Clifton will be too chuffed either judging by the increased traffic through the village whenever they shut the Portway on a Sunday for rock face maintenance/bike ride/half marathon reasons.

Up The City! Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 There is a bloody lovely cycle path on the other side of the river ffs. Forcing cars to take alternative routes thus making journeys longer will create extra pollution. Well done George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafarms Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I never voted for the complete and utter P**CK, I have never detested a man as much as him, he does not have a clue about Bristol, **** off back to London you tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The apathy in Bristol will almost certainly ensure the vociferous and politically active incomers will vote him back in. Leaving people to moan about him.........again. Don't whinge people, vote.But the problem us wheb you live outside Bristol and was born in Bristol and spend most of your life in Bristol yet you can't vote on Bristol.

RedM Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Is there an option to vote for no Mayor and go back to what it was before this idiot was getting paid to do nothing of any importance. I asked this shortly after he came to power, not voted or by me. Infact I can't find a single person who will admit to voting for him, a Mayor yes but not him. Back to your question, apparently we cannot have the 'no mayor' option, unless we have a vote again to decide if we want one or not. There will need to be a change in legislation to be able to say no mayor. How this is requested I don't know, but until it is all we can do is pick one of the candidates standing.

Nomad Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 31 May is the first closure : 'George Ferguson ?@GeorgeFergusonx 5m 5 minutes ago @nickmalago @stephenlansdow1 @bcfctweets 1st Portway Park day is 31 May!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcityman Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Think it was mainly the Southville tree hugging crew who voted him. To be fair he is clearly an arse but lots of people voted him in.... When is he up for re election? It was apathy that got him in, too many people sitting on their thumbs thinking he won't get in, whereas his supporters got up off their asses en masse and voted for him. 22% voted shameful and people wonder why this city never gets anything done.

I can remember reading after he became mayor that only 30% of the city voted. Which means 70% of us didn't care/didn't want one. That should have been a clear indictor not to have a Mayor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
