Bristol has excellent infrastructure compared to many places. We just chose to develop the wrong airport. This has had at least as much to do with nimbyism as with local councils. You can blame the latter for repeatedly screwing up the light rail / tram options though.
How much more infrastructure do you need than two motorways, near direct access to the main trunk rail network and a **** off runway? You can hardly blame any government for not helping people who can't even use what's been given them on a plate.
