Discussion about delays (or lack of) caused by South Gloucestershire Council's 'social distancing' scheme at Parkway railway bridgeā¦Council leader claims that wait times to pass under Parkway bridge (with the current traffic signals) are "minimal". Do you agree?
From South Gloucestershire Council leader Toby Savage's participation on a BBC Radio Bristol phone in this morning:
Discussing the social distancing measures around the Parkway Bridge in #StokeGifford, @SavageToby1 said that since the measures went in, contrary to popular belief, wait times to pass under the bridge were minimal and actually better than back when he was a local resident.
@SavageToby1 added that through his discussions with local councillors, there was a need for a more permanent solution, and he was in discussion with @MayorTimBowles and Network Rail over the idea of a separate tunnel for pedestrians.
