In spite of fears about pub-lic safety and last minuteconfusion over the venue,the launch of the Brunel200 celebrations on Satur-day April 8 th proved thebiggest crowd-puller inHotwel l s s ince TheMatthew departed for America (1998 that is, not1498!).

The area around Sion Hill andthe Observatory was jam-packed with revellers enjoyingthe concert on a rapidly-erected stage. Highlights included Bristol Choral Societywith a programme of rousing crowd-pleasers and Andy Sheppard conducting a

specially-commissioned work for 200 saxophones.Then, along with the thousands thronging Cumber-land Basin and the swing bridge below, we were ableto enjoy a massive firework display as the new sus-pension bridge illuminations came on, right on cue.Some of us also enjoyed the childish pleasure of walk-ing down the middle of Brunel Way (the flyover)closed to traffic for the first time in living memory,while The Matthew and the Balmoral and a host of smaller craft crowded the Cumberland Basin.Sunday provided some chilled-out relief from all theexcitement with an eclectic multi-media event directlyunder the flyover. Tr i a n g u l a t i o n combined music,

spoken word and projected images whichmade clever use of the outdoor space to in-voke a slightly surreal atmosphere, while the

traffic (now unimpeded) roared around on allsides.Our local contribution to Brunel 200 has beenthe Hats-off to Brunel exhibition at the CreateCentre which opened on April 4 th attended, amongst others, by the Lord Mayorand Peter Lord from Aardman Animation. This was a celebration of the abundant

talents of our local artists and, on alighter note, an exhibition of stovepipehats contrived from a wide range of materials. This description cannot do

justice to the ingenuity displayed. Allcredit to Sue Stops and her team for

organising this inspired event (openuntil April 27 th).Who would deny that, at times likethis, Hotwells is a very special place tolive! Ray Smith

Land at Cliftonwood TerraceBristol City Council is in the process of de-ciding on the successful bid for its land be-low Cliftonwood Terrace. The Clifton-wood Terrace Residents Association(CTRA) put in a bid, proposing the creationof a wildlife area on the land which wouldbe accessible to the public. The CTRAfeels that this land is important for wildlife(including protected slow worms) as well as

a variety of plants, including the nationally-rare Ivy Broom Rape. The land also formspart of the green corridor linking AshtonCourt and the Avon Gorge to Brandon Hilland the city centre.This bid received considerable local support

over 130 local residents signed the peti-tion and letters of support were received,among others, from the Hotwells andCliftonwood CA, Clifton and Hotwells Im-provement Society, Avon Wildlife Trust,Colburn Homes (developers of HarbourHouse on Hotwell Road), Bristol Naturalist

Society, Clifton and Hotwells Labour Party,

Bristol Civic Society, Sustrans and The AvonBat Society.

Argyle Place ParkA group of Cliftonwood parents are work-ing with the Council Parks Department toimprove the childrens play equipment in theArgyle Place Park next to the Lion pub. TheCouncil confirmed their funding of thisscheme in December 2005. Great care isbeing taken with this very small space whichis enjoyed as much for its grass, views andopen space as well as its play equipment.New play equipment should not encroachon the footballing area or into the centre of the park, blocking the views.The Council have already done some land-scaping work and will also be replacing thecurrent double gate with a less noisy one.and new benches will also be put in. Localfundraising will contribute to the costs of this scheme and buy some new footballgoals.Hopefully, this will all be finished by thesummer and we can celebrate with a partyin the park! Residents are keen to haveanother Open Air Cinema which was sopopular last year. Were talking about apossible date of Saturday 2 nd September

but watch local press and posters for detailsnearer the timeEmma Peddie

HCCA AdminstratorSadly, Camilla Kesterton, who has been withus since September has had to leave tospend more time on her college course. Shehas made a huge contribution in maintainingour records and dealing with the day to dayadmin that is essential to make sure every-one knows whats going on in the commu-nity. We are very sorry to see her go and

wish her every success in her academicwork.

Wessex works on Hot-well RoadWessex Water is to restart workon the Hotwells combined seweroverflow (CSO), shortly afterEaster. The work will take placearound the Plimsoll statue andshould take up to 18 months tocomplete (see article in Summer2005 edition).The new CSO has been nar-rowed since the original plan-ning application, and this hasaccounted in part for the delayin starting this work.Construction work will generallytake place between 7am and7pm, Monday to Friday. How-ever, because of tidal condi-tions, there will be times whenwork may have to take placeoutside of these hours. The foot-path and cycleway will be main-tained throughout the construc-tion period.Key site personnel are DaveHolmes, construction managerand Simon Watts, site manager.Dave can be contacted on

07771 976065 and Simon on07884 116291. Out of hours,Wessex Water 24 hour emer-gency number is 0845 600 4600.

Plastics recycling an everyday story ofbureaucratic bunglingA new plastics bin was brieflysited at with the other recy-cling containers at OldfieldPlace in October last year.

Then it vanished! Detectivework by Community Linksand in particular TrevorGeorge discovered that theCouncil / SITA had put it in aplace where the special truckcouldnt get near enough toempty it so it was removedto another area. Negotiationsare continuing about findinganother location and allocat-ing another bin. For the latestdevelopments see the topic

Rage about roads continues In spite of massive effort, cost andtime expended over the years onvarious plans the environment in thearea remains dominated by cars,and the initiatives for walking, cy-cling etc. remain stalled, blighted bythe very real fear of injury, blockedpavements and inhaling exhaust.

For many years, traffic has been a prob-lem to Hotwells, Cliftonwood and Clifton.Early post-war plans, still pasted on thewall in the bar of Nova Scotia, showbroadly the same major road patterns wesee today, but it was only in the 60s thatthose plans were achieved. Two bridgeswith under and overpasses could easilycope with the traffic of the day. But thesubsequent explosion in traffic speedingthrough our community was not antici-pated. By the late 1980s people werebeginning to complain - not just abouttraffic volumes, but parking and rat-running as well.

A comprehensive study by Bristol Poly-technic (now UWE) resulted in the'Clifton Traffic and Parking Study' ( whichincluded Hotwells and Cliftonwood) beingpublished. The executive summary's firstwords were ' Clifton is facing a crisis.' - asituation that has hardly changed. The

work and its report, made 14 recommen-dations, ranging from provision of ade-quate parking for new build premises,through speed limit restrictions and their' rigorous enforcement' , and perhapsmost importantly, a residents' parkingscheme. Few, if any of the recommenda-tions were implemented, and by the late1990s 'Clifton was again 'in crisis'.The Bristol Parking Strategy of 1998 iden-tified severe parking pressure and con-sidered that to avoid overspillKingsdown, Cotham, Clifton and Hot-

wells must be treated together.In 2002 CHASE (Cliftonwood & HotwellsAction on a Sustainable Environment)produced a detailed Neighbourhood

Transport Plan with many recommenda-tions, supported by facts, figures and sur-vey results. This was well received bythe city council but subsequent meetingminutes show that the local Sir Hum-phreys got hold of it and came up withsufficient bureaucratic blocking tactics topolitely bury the issue once again.

Right up to date now, Bristol has a feastof transport initiatives, the Joint LocalTransport Plan and the Greater BristolTransport Study (old joke about busescomes to mind!). These have been usedas a reason once again to do nothingpending the report. We continue to par-ticipate in the network of concerned or-ganisations trying to get some sense intothe Bristol transport scene. The latestinitiatives are the Bristol Transport Alli-ance which is supported by many oldcampaigners including the Civic Society,Friends of the Earth, FOSBR etc. and theDoughnut Ring group of neighbour-hoods that will be affected by the CanonsMarsh and a possible congestion chargescheme in the City.

What views do you have con- cerning local sustainability is-

sues and what campaigns would you support? It is fundamental that we try to represent the in- terests of as many people as possible (although the work al- ways seems to fall on a concerned few). Let us know if you would like to get involved in the debate. E-mail [email protected] or raise a topic on our message- board www.hotwellscliftonwood.org.uk/

forums.htm . You can also leave a message on 0117-9291883. All calls will be acknowledged. If you dont tell us we dont know!!

Ashton TramThe promoters of the Ashtontram link between AshtonGate and the Industrial Mu-seum (see article in Autumn2005 edition of H&C News)are currently carrying out apatronage forecast andwould be grateful for yourhelp. It is hoped to operatethe service along the existingrailway between the Indus-trial Museum and a car park

situated on vacant land inthe Ashton Gate area, withstops at the Buttery Caf, onCumberland Road (midway)and by the CREATE Centre.To Clifton and Hotwells peo-ple, this would mean a tramstop at CREATE whichwould run to Princes Wharf.Perhaps equally useful toreaders who live closest toCREATE is that car storageon a new, well managed carpark might relieve pressureof on-street parking inCliftonwood and HotwellsLet us know: If you would use the

tram? How frequently? Whether or not in the

rush hour? Any other comments

about the scheme?

Please e-mail your responseto:[email protected] [email protected]

Need a stamp?Now the Hotwells Post Officeis no more, its a long walk toRegent Street if all you needis a stamp. So you may liketo know that Mr Cook at Hot-wells Pine on Hotwell Road

Writing about Margo withoutincluding Brian after 50 years of mar-riage is a challenge- so he will get amention! They recently celebratedtheir wedding anniversary with 250friends and family. These included 22relatives from Scotland, four sonsand three daughters including Mikeand wife Cathy from New Zealandand eight grandchildren. We knowBrian as our committed local coun-cillor but do we know everythingMargo modestly achieves?

So to begin at the beginning, Margo,born in Edinburgh, one of eleven children,lived as an evacuee from age 4 to 9 in thevillage of Kingston with two elderly ladieswho were lovely. One kept house whilethe other looked after the farm. Four of her brothers were in the next village, sothey met up at the local school and atchurch twice on Sundays. They skippedSunday school once when they all went tosee a German plane which had crashed ina nearby field. She also remembers naugh-tily changing hymn numbers around on theboard in church !

So, when did she meet Brian? aged 16 she was waiting for a brotherin a caf in the evening but he didnt turnup so two military policemen sitting at anearby table offered to walk her to thebus- and one, Brian, followed her on tothe bus. He was nineteen and doing Na-tional Service at Edinburgh Castle. They were already engaged when Margoalmost didnt come to Bristol, beingtempted by a 10 ticket to emigrate toCanada, but Brian got on a train , saidWell fix a date and so they married atthe Old Kirk in Edinburgh in 1956. Thereception was at Margos home in the

living room of their 3 Bed house. How dideleven children fit in?

The couple lived for their first yearin the front room of 40 Ambra Vale Eastwhere Brian had been born. Subse-quently, they moved to No 23 with littleSheena and Andrew and 6 hens and laterbought No 24. While they were doing upNo 24 the children slept in 23 and Margoand Brian in 24 lit by candles and they only

had cold water. They strung an extensionlead across the road for electricity until alorry drove into it!

Now, what doesnt Margo do? Shebecame an auxiliary nurse at the BRI oncethe children were grown. She has chairedLiving Memories local history group for 23years which is held in the Trinity Rooms.She has spent 5 years on the CommunityHealth Council doing inspections of hospi-tals. Shes the Neighbourhood Watch per-son, was a Street Warden at one time andwas a Trustee for Hope Centre for 15years. She researches the Quiz questionsfor Brian to use at the Trinity lunch clubfor the elderly on Thursdays. She gained aCity and Guilds qualification in woodwork and has upholstered furniture, and hasbeen one of the mainstays in the annualHotwells Pantomime since its beginning. Inaddition, whenever I call in, she is enter-taining the two little grandchildren fromacross the road.

Margo summarises her life asThats what life is all about, caring foreach other .
