Easy as 1, 2, 3...

B&NES Council repeatedly tells us that the BRT (part of the BTP) will provide a reliable and speedy route from Newbridge to the Windsor Bridge. The guaranteed journey time will be six minutes. Response2Route has just released a short video of the same journey in rush hour traffic
(5.15 p.m.) which took just over three minutes on the regular road.

So, the BRT element will...

• cost £20m+
• destroy green spaces and wildlife
• necessitate the compulsory purchase order of residents' back gardens
• introduce a two lane road, footpath and cycle track to run between properties
• cause the depreciation of property prices
• be responsible for the devastation of quality of life for nearby residents, and,
• nearly double the time it currently takes to travel the route.

Does this add up?
