During the Christmas break, everybody was mostly complaining about the weather in Bristol. I was back home, so I couldn't see it with my own eyes, but there is enough evidence to support it. The Guardian posted a video on their website showing an aerial view of Bristol and Gloucestershire flooding last Friday, 3rd January. There are many images published on the web, all of them very impressive. Bristol Post published today flood warnings and alerts' update.
On the other side, Bristol Mayor's decision of converting Bristol Central Library into a public primary school for young children has also been something very much mentioned on Twitter. It has been a hot topic since June 2013. Now, 15-year experienced teacher from Bristol raises some questions on that decision (read here) and the plans to turn the basement of Bristol's biggest library into a school has been recently challenged by politicians opposed to the idea (read here). Who knows what will finally happen?
More controversies also arose around the plans to convert the Bristol Comedy Club in Cheltenham Road (where RipRoar Comedy Club was based before) into an Islamic Centre, comprising of a mosque, community facilities, a café and a flat. According to Bristol Post, the plans submitted last September were criticised by far-right political group called English Defence League. Well, finally, the Assahaba Centre has green light to start refurbishing the building.
Yesterday, BBC aired the second episode of the TV series Sherlock, which was filmed in Bristol's Goldney House. The first episode, aired 30th December 2013, showed scenes filmed in Queens Square and Portland Square last March, when Great Little Place Called Bristol blog attended to the filming session (read here).
2014 has arrived full of strength!
