Dear Councillors,
I am writing to inform you of some surveys being undertaken within your wards
as part of proposals for a rapid transit route between Ashton Vale and the city
centre.
Pedestrians and cyclists alongside the consultants' preferred route will be
asked for details of their trip, tomorrow (30th April) and Saturday (3rd May).
If you have any questions regarding these surveys, please call me on 0117 922
4928.
Regards

Err,
today being one of the days you mention Charles, ie the 30th April....I have
an anecdote....
I was walking the dog around midday in the meadow opposite side of the river
to the Create Centre and
encountered some ladies and gents with a tent pitched near the West side of
the Ashton Rail Swing Bridge in yellow jackets. They CLAIMED to be surveying
who used the park, (having encountered a lot of dog walkers) including where
people had come FROM.
Then they did a shift change and sidled off to a van in BCC livery marked
traffic surveys, waiting at safestore, Clift House Road, and drove away.
My Labrador was hoping they'd taken note of her comments about the
excellence of the meadow for dog-like activity outwith the human residential
environment.
Has she been sold a pup?
All best
Stephen (and Leah)

Further to this Wednesday survey mentioned below , the Saturday 3rd May
transport survey appeared lower key with a single lad equipped with a clip
board and picnic chair at the same South end of the rail bridge over the
cut. He was not attempting to engage with the public , just record the many
leisure cyclists and dog walkers zapping past him in different directions.
The lunchtime scene was definitely busier than the weekday, and the steam
train was also operational on the North side of course.
One aspect of "cycling" not-occurring was the drumlins someone appears to be
digging parallel with the flyover edges on both sides of the road. ~I have
seen these being dug by (I'm guessing) "youthworkers" in the company of
younger boys. Their endeavours are very seldom used and as they grow in
scale, bordering on a hazard for other users of the greenspace, who are
there much more often; so what gives, is this a sponsored minority activity?
And what are the limits to its physical growth if so?
Obviously this is still a more constructive activity than stealing and
burning the odd pizza delivery motorbike which appears to occur at the same
place about once a quarter, and does very much more environmental damage
after churning up the grass first! The flyover is tough, but not immune from
fire damage either. It and its landscape need at least a little community
concern.
all best
Stephen
