According to traffic reports it is closed both ways but there must be some sort of residents access set up as there are businesses and flats all along the road. It doesn’t say how on any of the updates I’ve seen.
Lots of availability according to their website!You couldn’t get in the bleeding place anyway! So no difference there then
My daughter lives in Bristol we joined the CMC because of Baltic Wharf (since left) so we could visit in moho managed to get in on two occasions over a ten year period because of people booking and not turning up, gave up trying and rarely take m/h to Bristol unless passing through now as we have found other places not too far away
Yeah - so much for the land being used to build a much needed primary school!Sorry if this has been posted before on Fun re Baltic Wharf.:
Plans revealed for £55m housing development on Bristol’s Floating Harbour
It will be one of the first by council-owned housing company Goram Homeswww.bristol247.com
In Texas, the developers put in the roads and first schools, before any housing is started. And often a "Mall".
Fowlers is still there and a prominent landmark telling you where to turn off the A4.
Would have to be Clarance Road from Temple Meads if coming from the East. Come between 11 am and 2pm.
apparently the locals living nearby preferred that the caravan site remained, not just because it brought in new visitors, custom to local business, but that it was "less intrusive", than having even more semi high rise blocks of unaffordable homes.
It’s probably a better way than the M32, the traffic along there is not too bad and better than Clarence Road which is usually queuing up to Bedminster Bridge. You also get the nicer run in along the A4 along the river.
Tell us more!
It’s a tradition amongst our friends to meet up for a walk all around the harbour on New Years Day. Shame you will be gone else I would say hello. I peeked over the hedge to see if I could see any Funster stickers this year and was surprised at the number of Mohos compared to Caravans.We were at Baltic Wharf over xmas again this year, it was very quiet, there were 8/10 spaces unused this year which came as a surprise, as we had to book to get a spot before leaving last year. Proof again that The CMC booking system is flawed with so many that had booked not turning up, wasting space for those that do and can attend. We have even booked rather optistically for 4 nights over xmas 2020, we got one of the last 3 places before leaving. If all goes ahead as per the councils plan/schedule of work then this aint gonna happen.
Expected for some time I know, but such a shame to see this CMC site go as it was a great location being on the river near to town, river taxi and buses.
When discussed "down the local pub"
When 66 "affordable" homes are mentioned, I wonder just how affordable they will be, along with position/ aspect of them, in the shadow of others, near the bins out the back springs to mind.
End of an era for us at Bristol, C"est la vie

What`s to tell?. An excellent lunch was had by all, the Wine and Liquor flowed, hence not wishing to drive!, The speaker was very knowledgable about the construction and working life of the Gt Britain, and her Recovery from The Falklands, back to her eventual resting place. Afterwards we did the usual "lamp swinging" as is the wont on such ocasions. The walk back to Temple Meads involved negotiating the assembled rubbish that was there back in the early 90`s. and ruined my "best" shoes!, took 2 wrong turns, and a detour into some pub, and caught the return train to Yeovil by the skin of!, where I was greeted by "management" with "well that looks like it was a good day out"!..
Yes, it will be a loss, but as others have said, most of the time it was fully booked anyway so only really accessible to the early and the organised, which excludes me! Sadly, the CMC Crystal Palace site faces a similar fate.We were at Baltic Wharf over xmas again this year, it was very quiet, there were 8/10 spaces unused this year which came as a surprise, as we had to book to get a spot before leaving last year.

This “affordable homes” nonsense has become a passport for developers to build where they wouldn’t otherwise be permitted to, including ‘areas of outstanding natural beauty’!
