More Council-sanctioned vandalism

There was something on BBC Points West this evening about a chance for locals to have their say about the industrial museum plans TOMORROW (Wed 14th September), but I didn't catch exactly what, when, or where it was. Did anyone else see this?

It's on the Evening Post website:

BTW yesterdays EP editorial was scathing about the plans to demolish the sheds, gave the council a right drubbing

Also called The Point 'hideous' ...

Okay, so Broadmead is a hole. The council of the time seemed determined to finish off what the Germans had started when they bombed the place and Bristol has ever since been blighted by a huge concrete mess which becomes a no-go zone once darkness falls.

And then, they demolished the only decent building there, Fairfax House, in order to build the Galleries.

So you wouldn't think it could get worse, and normally I'd have to applaud anyone who said they were going to rebuild the place.

Wrong!

barf!

Ah well, more places to avoid.

Even worse than approving this mess is the fact that they have only just finished rebuilding the junction at the bottom of the M32. Spent a bloody fortune on it, right down to nice shiny new railings, and streetlamps with flags on them. Why did they spend all that money when they knew they were going to be demolishing it all again one year later?
