A CONSULTATION exercise on a sell-off of more than 60 open green sites in Bristol has been condemned as a waste of time and money. Campaigners told the Evening Post that people were not properly consulted and the sites were chosen based on flawed information.
WHAT a waste of time and the misuse of public funds for the council to pay for Clifton based GVA to conduct a survey which could only be negative owing to its narrow brief. (Consultants' report against Sainsbury's, Post, February 17) Did they not realise there has been a Sainsbury's here in Ashton for almost 20 years? The shops are still in North Street and they are widely used by local people. We have used them for 28 years and will continue to do so if/when the new store is built, even though we shop at Sainsbury's as well. We believe that people will continue to use these shops because of what they offer in terms of quality and the more personal service they receive.

STAGECOACH chief executive Brian Souter will this week launch a blistering attack on the Competition Commission's inquiry into the UK bus industry, dismissing it as a waste of time and energy.

The large purple and white packet has been lying around at home, abandoned and unloved, atop a pile of other discarded paperwork for a while now. Someone's even scribbled a few messages on it while it has lain in wait. Mundane ones such as "Don't forget to get tea tonight" or, more alarming, "Don't use computer.
