Lets look at Bristol city centre where in the 1960 a beautiful public house was knock down, after thousands protested. In place stood a Bristol and West malti- story office block, only to be knocked down and yet, again a new one standing exactly in the same place. Now when anyone visits the City Centre it is a total mismatch of development dominated by multi- story buildings, over the old detailed buildings ie Hippodrome.
Add to this some bright sparks of Planners and Developers coming up with the now malti- million pound shopping complex, has completely whipped out, any History of what was their before.
Some will argue that it was a good thing, as the shopping areas were dilapidated, and regeneration was needed. However, whilst this was true, it was important to keep Bristol’s identify, and NOT just through money to build enormous buildings to look impressive.
Has anyone thought about who will be visiting the shopping area.
Hello is every one asleep in the planning office. wake up face the fact that no-one wants to plow there way through the traffic, and then pay to park, when they can shop near there homes, and park for free.
It is very unsettling that the Planning Authorities do-not seem to have the know how in LONG TEARM strategy planning. Or may be they need a longer stay at Universaty. 
What ever the reason, its all becoming a catastrophic unimaginable mishmash, of an urban Society gone made,. Only when some astonishing graffiti is viewed on these multi-story buildings, do I see a ray of imaginative couler and charm. At leased some- one that’s, NOT BEING PAYED HAS IMAGINATION AND IS TRYING.
