Get Those Tiny Cars Off The Road - We Need Proper Parking!
It's time we seriously addressed the plague of ridiculously small, often poorly maintained, "city cars" that clog up our streets and take up far too much space for what they offer. My proposal is to introduce a tiered parking permit system
Enough with the endless roadworks – we need a sensible plan!
Honestly, the state of our roads is a disgrace. Every time I leave the house, it feels like I'm driving through a never-ending obstacle course of cones and diversions. It’s not just inconvenient; it’s costing us all time and money. My fathe
Scrap the £350m 'vanity project' HS2 line and reinvest in local rail instead.
The government should immediately halt construction on HS2 and redirect all allocated funds into upgrading and expanding existing regional rail networks. This colossal waste of money is a textbook example of policy driven by prestige rather
Defence Procurement Needs Same Scrutiny As Our Rail Network
The issues raised about ScotRail's rolling stock are a familiar tune, though perhaps played on a different instrument. We hear constantly about the need for modernisation and greater efficiency in public services. My concern, however, lies
Enough of these buses from the 1980s, ScotRail needs a serious upgrade for all of us!
Honestly, it’s maddening. Every time I need to take the train down to Glasgow for a conference, or even just a day out, it’s the same old story. Cramped seats, dodgy heating, and a schedule that seems to have been designed by someone who’s
Enough with the petrol cars, time for a proper cycling infrastructure boost!
We need to mandate that all new urban road construction and major refurbishments must include segregated cycle lanes. This isn't about making cycling a niche hobby; it's about making it a safe, practical choice for everyone, including my so
Enough with the potholes! Time to invest properly in our roads, not just patch them up.
I was driving home from school last week, the same route I take every single day, and hit a pothole that was so deep it felt like I’d driven into a crater. Nearly took my wheel off. It’s not just me; parents are always complaining about the
Connecting Our City: A Modern Vision for Bristol Transport
I understand the deep-seated frustration many Bristolians feel with our current public transport network. It’s a common complaint I hear on the doorstep, that getting around feels more like an obstacle course than a smooth journey. While th
Bristol Needs Proper Public Transport, Not Just Fancy Promises
I get the frustration with dodgy public transport, honestly. Taking the train should be a relaxing experience, not a test of endurance. But just throwing money at new trains for ScotRail isn't the whole answer, is it? We need to be smarter
Stop funding grand projects, just fix the blinking roads for tradesmen and commuters
The government should redirect a significant portion of the budget currently allocated to enormous, long-term national transport projects, like high-speed rail, towards funding immediate, practical improvements for local road networks and c
Free buses for school kids? About blooming time they did summat for us!
We need to make all school transport free for kids up to 16. It’s simple really, parents shouldn’t have to worry about getting their bairns to school, especially now everything costs a fortune. I’ve seen mums and dads skipping meals to affo
Honestly, why are trains so expensive? It's madness.
Seriously, why do we pay through the nose for train tickets when the service is often delayed or cancelled? It feels like we're being mugged on a daily basis. This system benefits absolutely no one except the private rail companies who seem
Council needs to sort out the buses, it’s not rocket science!
I was waiting for the number 8 bus the other day, late for a meeting with a housing charity, and it just never came. The app said it was five minutes away for twenty minutes, then it just vanished. Ended up having to get a taxi, which I rea
Integrated Urban Mobility: A National Imperative, Not Just Local Wishes
The concerns raised about Bristol’s public transport are certainly not unique. What we see across the UK is a patchwork of local initiatives and underfunded services, often disconnected from broader urban planning. The idea that new rolling
Enough with the car-centric nonsense, let's actually fund public transport properly
We need a radical increase in investment for public transport, starting with a commitment to drastically improve bus services across the country. This means not just more routes, but more frequent services, especially during off-peak hours
Enforce 20mph zones properly or paint over them. Half-arsed is worse than useless.
Bristol rolled out 20mph zones across almost the entire city. Fair enough, evidence says lower speeds reduce serious injuries. Except there is no enforcement. Zero speed cameras on the 20mph roads. Police say they have no resources to prose
Time to Get Our Rural Buses Back on Track, Not Just Fancy Trains
I quite agree that public transport needs a good shake-up, though I suspect the focus on trains for the big cities misses the mark for most of us. My neighbour, Brenda, has been trying to get to her doctor's appointment in Cirencester for w
When will they finally sort out the railways in Scotland? It’s a disgrace.
Honestly, why are we still paying through the nose for train tickets that are often delayed or cancelled anyway, especially when travelling north of the border? It’s like Westminster just sees Scotland as a cash cow for their failing networ
Scrap the rail franchising mess
What's the point of having a transport system that's more focused on making money for private companies than actually getting people from A to B on time, you know, it's like they're more interested in pleasing shareholders than commuters.
Fix Our Broken Rural Bus Services Already
I'm sick of watching my elderly neighbours struggle to get to the shops or the doctor's surgery because the bus service in our rural area is so unreliable. It's not just an inconvenience, it's a complete disregard for the people who live he
