Comments on: Aztec West roundabout TRO ad – from the Evening Post http://www.sadlybroke.com/2008/06/12/aztec-west-roundabout-tro-ad-from-the-evening-post/ News & info for Bradley Stoke, Bristol Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:12:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Bert Hindle http://www.sadlybroke.com/2008/06/12/aztec-west-roundabout-tro-ad-from-the-evening-post/comment-page-1/#comment-4143 Bert Hindle Sun, 15 Jun 2008 13:24:43 +0000 http://www.sadlybroke.com/?p=671#comment-4143 Well, to be fair to SGC, at the first consultation, large signs were put up at the approaches to the roundabout, there were flyers for nearby residents and companies on Aztec West received an email about the plans (with the plans themselves put up in the Aztec Centre).

I’d point out the oddity of this plan if I thought that it wasn’t going to fall on deaf ears like the first round of `consultation’.
