Our property has a perfect view a long stretch of Phoenix Way and it is a common occurrence to see the large buses mounting the kerbs and ploughing up the verges as struggle to get past cars on bends, let alone other oncoming buses.

This makes sense on so many levels. Residents are cut off from the main bus route in some areas and some cannot walk far enough to get to the main bus route i.e. North Weston, Redcliffe Bay, The Lakegrounds.
With developers relentlessly buiding in every piece of land, the population continues to increase, the roads are no longer wide enough for double decker buses.

Totally agree with this and support all of the statements. This is completely makes sense. It is awful that the massive orange buses have caused all this havoc....I really hope things can change.

Smaller buses would help the community so much. It’s just sensible!

They stopped one of the little buses which older people really relied on to get out and actually see people. Surely something can be sorted out

100% agree smaller buses mainly for the older folk but also for less congestion around the already car over loaded streets.

This would be a very sensible solution particularly outside of rush hour times. Some areas of the town are incredibly congested with parked cars and traffic and this would make it much easier, quicker and safer for buses to get around

It is an absolute disgrace that councillors passed this in the first place
This is affecting our quality of life, air quality, noise levels, the quality of our roads, and homes and being able to park outside our own homes

Drivers of the double decker buses have become increasingly hostile! I doubt they would be quite so defensive if they were in more appropriate size vehicles.

Our house shakes and invades all our privacy in our town house on Newfoundland way , smaller single deckers would fix this problem.

I agree with the comments of the previous entry. The buses are to large for our roads. We need smaller buses that can travel around our town without creating havoc.

This is much needed. The larger buses cannot cope in and around Portishead and cause delays to traffic.
