WHY is the Mayor of Bristol resolutely determined to "screw local businesses to the wall", with restricted parking zones which are ridiculously impractical, unnecessary and hugely expensive? Isn't this insane as local businesses are already struggling to stay alive in this harsh economic climate? Does he want local business to close through lack of trade? It appears that way, doesn't it? One example: What are we going to...
