BRS Expansion

No great surprise that they rejected it. It has always been on the cards since the last local elections. BRS will get it on appeal, because the application was supported by the planning department. The planning inspector will take one look and approve it on a national level. The Councillors were told as much in the meeting tonight. The main issue for them is to demonstrate their virtue. The silent majority vote with their feet and they are using the airport. I agree that local transport and links are crying out for improvement, but that is a wider problem across Bristol where we have 1970's infrastructure trying to cope with 21st century volume.
