Seven local election candidates have clashed over how to get people out of cars and onto public transport, cycling and walking – and whether they even should.
The transport and environment debate, hosted by Bristol Live’s Facebook page, included Labour’s Kye Dudd, who is running to be reelected city councillor for Central ward and is cabinet member for transport, energy and New Green Deal, Ed Plowden, Green candidate for Windmill Hill, and Mark Weston, Conservative group leader who is standing to be re-elected for Henbury & Brentry.
