Franc meets and cleans

The ultra light tram option

Tuesday 22nd February – 7.30pm at the Southville Centre

We have arranged this meeting to enable local people to hear the latest news on plans to develop a rapid transport route across Ashton Bridge and alongside Cumberland Road and the Chocolate Path.  We shall be hearing from the Bristol Tramway Consortium, which is pressing for an ultra light tram system to be used instead of the bus rapid transit system that Bristol City Council has proposed to the Department of Transport.  People on both sides of the river have mixed views about these plans, and this will be a chance to obtain more facts.  The meeting will finish by 9.00pm.  All welcome.


Riverbank clean-up

Saturday 26th February – 10.00am at Gaol Ferry Bridge

We will be cleaning up the Cumberland Road riverbank and part of the Harbourside Railway track.   We aim to finish at around 12 noon, and you are then welcome to come for a free coffee and cake!  Please wear warm, waterproof clothing and strong shoes and bring protective gloves if you have them.  We will supply spare gloves and litter-pickers.    Should bad weather (eg. snow, torrential rain or strong winds) cause us to postpone this event, we shall post a notice on the home page of our website (www.franc.org.uk). But let’s hope it’s a nice day!
