An average of just 10 motorists a day are using a £1.3m car park built near Bristol, a council has admitted.What? How can this be? Surely motorists are fighting for spaces to park?
The facility, intended as a park-and-ride, opened in June 2011 but will not get a bus service until 2015.Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....
*pauses for breath*
...ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Liberal Democrat councillor Pat Hockey said the car park had made the council "look stupid".Coming from a LibDem, oh, how that must sting!
In the interests of balance, Mark Wadsworth has a different take on this.

Proof, as if any more was needed, of local councils' yearning to take more money to waste more money…
Ta for link.
What I don't understand is why it can't have a bus service now? If its a 5 min walk from Bristol Parkway, there's loads of buses that stop there, its a major rail station. So why don't one of the bus companies divert their route via the park and ride? Might be a good bit of business for them.
Or is it the case the council won't actually let anyone do that, for some typically bureaucratic reason?
'If You Build It, They Will Come....'
I thought this was going to be about Call-me-Dave's plans to concrete over the south of England.
I trust that when the buses do eventually come, two will come at once....

Me neither...

Undoubtedly!
