1  Journey by Journey / Bristol (WECA) Commuters / Re: Don't miss chance to create new transport hub in Bristol, says Green Party on: November 06, 2008, 00:22:29
I've put a petition up on the council website, calling for part of Plot 6 to be used as a major transport interchange.  After all, the station modernisation plans include a new ticket hall/waiting area/information/toilets/retail/refreshments in the 'Digby Wyatt' shed.   Why not let onward travellers get the advantages of it by bringing buses and coaches to the door, giving direct access to and from the whole city instead of the exposed bus shelters and tortuous multi-legged journeys we have now?

The petition is at http://epetitions.bristol.gov.uk/view/templemeadshub

There's more on the Green Party website at http://www.bristolgreenparty.org.uk/hottopics/0810templemeads.htm

The Area Development Plan for Temple Meads and the developer's brief for Plot 6 aren't being drafted by the council - SWRDA» (South West Regional Development Agency - about) are doing it instead.  Odd, especially considering they're joint landowners with Network Rail.   The current plans for both can be found at http://www.plot6.co.uk, though they've been shielded from the public by keeping them out of search engines' databases.
