Dear Bristol City Council,

Following an initial claim by my local councillor that local
residents supported the building of a new BMX track on what is
currently a green field, he has since changed his tune and now
suggests that Bristol CC simply aims to replace an existing unsafe
track.

The fact that building this track would allow the council to nicely
scrape the barrel of its cycling city funding is of course purely
incidental.

Please would you confirm statistics for reported accidents on the
existing track in Eastville Park?

Yours faithfully,

Laura Pashley
