that's something I didn't know, explains a lot thoughI believe that the Government pays Councils about £19k for every house built - perhaps that has some bearing!

Why ask that? Is there the remotest suggestion of any evidence of one?Someone on a backhander?
Given that Baltic Wharf is open only to CAMC members, many of whom will be in caravans, its closure would hardly affect many people would it? Especially those who maintain "we don't want to camp on sites" and those who want to pay far less than the CAMC charges.Then they will wonder why we overnight on the road and car parks.

No doubt it does happen Olley. Here in Middlesbrough the Labour clique currently in power gained that power by breaking party rules but the party decided not to throw them out and people still vote for them even though their actions have been well publicised in local media.There very rarely is G, but it's quite often there somewhere, when councilors get very keen on doing something, that potentially involves a lot of money.
Over the years I have seen it happen in Ipswich, and cynic that I am, I can't believe it doesn't happen elsewhere.
You only have to look at our MP's.

Although not a Bristolian - originally from the Midlands - I've lived on the outskirts of the city for 30+ years. And worked in it for 20.Not an issue that particularly interests me as I despise Bristol so wouldn’t visit the place even if there was an aire type facility.

Completely unrelated but I couldn't agree more.There very rarely is G, but it's quite often there somewhere, when councilors get very keen on doing something, that potentially involves a lot of money.

Just out of idle curiosity, wonder why you dislike the place so much? As far as cities go, I've always been quite fond of it.
Just to add, to keep the thread more or less on topic, I've never stayed at the C&MC site, because I go past it nearly every time I go into town. It's a shame it has to go, but guess it's on borrowed time...
I heard that camc have applied for planning permission for land next to the P&R but not yet got it.
Even if they are doing something there, they do not seem to have made the number of pitches available countrywide keep pace with their (claimed) growth in membership.

Interesting - 'one man's meat...etc'I grew up in the West Country so I know Bristol well enough.
I didn’t like it 20 odd years ago before it was ruined by over development as part of the “M4 corridor.”
Now I can’t think of any reason why I’d ever want to visit the place. It’s got no positive points at all as far as I’m concerned. The sad thing is that my hometown, Exeter, is rapidly going the same way.
If there is evidence of malpractice why have no Scarborough council tax payers pursued the matter in court?Completely unrelated but I couldn't agree more.
Scarboroughs Futurist theatre site has been sold to the owner of Flamingo land at Malton for £1.8M on the proviso Scarborough Council demolish the building and shore up the embankment behind to protect the buildings on the Bank top.... At a cost to the towns council tax payer of over £4M.
Currently there is planning permission for a large amusement ride on the site but its going to take a lifetime to recoup £1.8M plus ongoing costs from one ride.
come back in 3 or 4 years and look at the nice luxury apartment building which will take its place when the initial fuss has died down.
Now tell me backhanders are a myth, Scarborough Council are notorious for it.
Remember the Marine drive sea defence dabicle
Can we take it, then, that in light of the proposals for Baltic Wharf you will be writing to Bristol City Council making out the case why they should bring in such camping usage of nearby car parks to compensate?The cost of land in cities, towns and even villages is too high for 'new' Aires.
Having spaces on existing carparks, without height barriers should be possible - overnight sleeping allowed, for one night only, paid for, no return for 48 hours.
There would be no problem with 'travelers' if they received the same treatment as the rest of us......VIN checks, insurance, MOT, TAX Driving licences checked and impounding of vehicles......
