Black Friday was the start of a new Christmas tradition in Bristol. Welcome to Make-as-much-noise-as you-like-at-night-in-the-lead-up-to-Christmas-time (is there not a catchier title for this? Ed.).
In an unprecedented move, Bristol City Council are allowing everybody to make as much noise as they like at night until the 15 December because there will be no environmental health officers workings evenings!
This appears to be a direct result of mayor “Uncle” George Ferguson’s cuts that “will not affect frontline services”.
Know of any more council cuts that have affected frontline services? Get in touch!
Once again the council has made a ridiculous decision to cease night monitoring at the busiest time of year. It begs belief on the pure stupidly of this decision. These cuts are beyond belief and it is simply untrue to say mainline services ate not effected. So any illegal raves or over noisy pubs and clubs have a free run. Merry Christmas.
George has also asked me to make a noise via a survey about how to spend the “extra” money he has. It’s almost as if he thinks we will think he cares or will listen, bless him.
Interesting call to pollution control this week. No one was in and no admin staff either. Then asked for someone in legal services and got no one.
Person on switchboard said today was a particularly bad day for getting hold of people.
