the Entrance Lock was finally unveiled with a new commemora-

tive plaque on March 12th by The Lord Mayor at a new site on
Capricorn Quay near the Jacobs Wells roundabout.
Although Samuel Plimsoll
spent only his first 3 years
in Bristol, his stubborn fight
to improve the safety of
ships at sea and save many
of their crews from death
had a direct effect on Bris-
tol and no doubt many in
Hotwells. His book ‘Our
Seamen’ published in 1873,
claimed that nearly 1,000

for an amendment to the Merchant Shipping Act in 1876. This introduced a compulsory
mark on all British-registered vessels that came to be known as the ‘Plimsoll Line’.
After various attempts to commemorate Plimsoll failed in Bristol, a bust from the City Mu-
seum was finally sited on Hotwell Road near the entrance to Cumberland Basin and un-
veiled by Lord Mayor L.K. Stevenson in 1962. There it might be standing still but for neces-
sary works by Wessex Water to improve water quality in the Floating Harbour which
meant the sculpture had to be removed into temporary storage in 2005. The Community
Links group in particular, led by Pauline Barnes, with support from the Lord Mayor, cam-
paigned to ensure the statue returned to Hotwells. Now, with financial help from Wessex
Water, Clifton & Hotwells Improvement Society and Bristol City Council, we are delighted
to see the great man, spruced up and returned to enhance the new Harbourside Walkway.
We have produced a special Plimsoll commemoration edition of Hotwells News to mark
the event. You can download this from www.hotwellscliftonwood.org.uk

New mural coming soon to Hotwells School

tribution has been to ensure that Hotwells

Hotwells Traffic Strategy
A number of minor amendments to the
strategic plan for improving the roads and
pedestrian safety in Hotwells, which was
drafted by Richard Walker and Paul
Walker-Jones, have now been
agreed by the HCCA Trustees as a
result of the consultation with local
people. Of 110 responses, 62% fully
endorsed the proposals, 23% offered
partial or conditional support and
8% did not agree with the plan, 6%
did not indicate a definite view one
way or the other.
However by adopting three changes
to the draft proposals, the overall
approval rating rises to 88%. These
are:
a) not to close the exit from the
bottom of Hope Chapel Hill
onto Hotwell Road.
b) Drop the illustrative design for a building
on the south side of Cumberland Basin.
c) Devise a better exit from Rownham
Mead onto Hotwell Road to make it
easier and safer to use.
We are grateful to everyone who took the
trouble to participate in this exercise. The
document is now being revised and will be
used as the basis for ongoing negotiations
with officers and councillors whenever
road and traffic issues in Hotwells arise. The
strategic framework it gives us has already
proved useful in discussions concerning
road improvements for the new Festival
Way cycle path (see report on page 3).

Residents Parking Zone
Cliftonwood residents have voted conclu-
sively on the proposed scheme (57%
against / 38% for) but on a surprisingly low
vote given the extent of the advance public-
ity and strength of feelings expressed by
some residents (457 responses out of 1820
households balloted). As a result, the
Council Cabinet finally took the decision to
Goldney Crossing
The Council has come up with a proposal
to build out the pavement across Goldney
Hill adjacent to Goldney House and create
what they call an ‘informal crossing’ as part
of the Safe Routes to Schools programme.
It should benefit children en route to both
Christ Church and Hotwells primaries at a
dangerous corner that has been a focus for
residents’ complaints for some time. The
costs of traditional marked crossings and
the time needed to arrange the necessary
traffic orders have made this style of un-
marked crossing fashionable of late
(something similar has been proposed for
the crossing of Cumberland Basin Road in
Hotwells). The extra pavement and better
sightlines will be very welcome to mothers
struggling with prams and toddlers as well
as some older residents who may not be as
nimble and alert as they once were!
Hotwells School Mural project
Hotwells Primary School is getting artistic
input Council-style this spring, when the
large wall in the playground will be deco-
rated with a beautiful Hotwells-inspired
mural. This isn’t a top-down, local authority
approach however, but will come via well-
regarded local artist, Andy Council. Andy
exhibited as part of the ‘Crimes of Passion’
show at the RWA last year and his work is
already on display on the side of the Grain
Barge.
It’s been a real collaborative effort and the
children’s enthusiasm very much comes out
in the design. Two undercoats have been
applied to the wall already and Andy's due
to start work very soon. Everyone at the
school agrees that the design is fantastic and
there is no doubt that it will fast become a
Hotwells landmark. It is hoped that there
will be an official opening event for the
school and community. Check the wall
itself, or the school website for progress:

Festival Way path takes shape
The section of Sustrans Connect2 cycle
path from the Ashton Swing Bridge to Clan-
age Road is well-advanced and a new shared
path along the side of Cumberland Basin
Road from the entrance lock to the Pump
House has also appeared. The difficulty of
creating a ‘bike-friendly’ crossing of Cum-
berland Basin, however, is still not resolved
(see Winter 2010 edition of Hotwells
News). Local representatives on the Festival
Way ‘Cumberland Basin Steering Group’
made a case for closing Junction Lock
Bridge to cars, except when Plimsoll Bridge
needs to swing. This was investigated and
ruled-out by the traffic team after running
the proposal through their computer
model which indicated negative knock-on
effects for traffic flows in other parts of the
City at peak times.
The two remaining options still under inves-
tigation are widening the footway over the
Junction Lock Bridge (by the Pumphouse)
or reinstating the Brunel Swivel Bridge at
Entrance Lock. Neither option will be
cheap. Money has now been allocated to lift
the Swivel Bridge for a full engineering sur-
vey that should enable a more precise cost
to be quoted for its reinstatement. What-
ever the outcome for Festival Way, this is
good news for the Swivel Bridge Restora-
tion Group and others who would love to
see this heritage structure returned to
working order. One of the main problems
with progressing the project has been the
uncertainties with regard to cost.
A report on which of the two options is
most feasible is now expected towards the
end of May.

MESSAGE IN
A BOTTLE
We’ve seen the film, ‘Message in the Waves’
made locally and screened by the Hotwells &
Cliftonwood Transition Group. We’ve been
shocked by the pictures of dead birds and
heaps of discarded plastic in the Pacific
Ocean. Waste plastic pollutes the whole
planet, even Hotwells, and to stop it we
must change attitudes to plastic right here,
right now.
A plastic bottle is a remarkable thing - the perfect vessel for
storing liquids. Light but durable - you’d think if you had one,
you’d want to keep it forever. But every year in Britain we
throw away 13 billion.
The problem is that plastic is cheap. It’s easier to buy a new
bottle, rather than go to the trouble of cleaning and refilling
an old one. And the same applies to bags, toys, flower pots,
any plastics - when we can’t find a use for old plastic, it be-
comes valueless and we throw it away. And that’s where
plastic’s great qualities become catastrophic.
All the plastic bottles ever
made are still at large
somewhere on our planet.
20 % are now recycled, but
the rest are drifting around
– some blowing around the
Bristol Harbourside and
floating in the Avon.
Waste plastic is both an
eyesore and a threat to
wildlife. Animals get entan-
gled in plastic or some-
times eat it by mistake.
Plastic can absorb water
borne toxins and once
these are in the food chain,
they may ultimately end up
on our plates.
Over time, the forces of nature will grind waste plastic into
tiny pieces, joining the microscopic spawn of other plastics in
a fine - grained strata that is right now covering every inch of
the earth and will one day come to define our era.
Apparently, a bacterium has been discovered that can slowly
eat plastic, so there is some hope. But most experts agree
that a plastic bottle is not even just for life - more like four or
five hundred years. The message on the bottle should read
“don’t buy me unless you mean to look after me for a very
long time and possibly pass me down to your great, great,
great etc. grandchildren”.

The bottle message from the Council
Home collection black boxes do not accept
ANY plastics for recycling because of lack of
space on existing black box vehicles. Pilot
studies for doorstep plastics collection will be
undertaken in 2011 in some areas. (Most
likely not ours at this point).
Plastic recycling banks in Bristol currently
take ALL plastic bottles and bottle tops. For
details of the different types of plastics, and
plastic bank recycling centres near us see
http://www.hotwellscliftonwood.org.uk/
At the moment, Bristol’s plastic banks do
NOT accept any other plastic but from late
April they will accept plastic packaging.
Meanwhile the two Household Waste Recy-
cling Centres do have additional plastic bins
for "hard and rigid plastics".
Bristol’s recycled plastics are taken by road
to Gloucestershire for baling. They are then
sold on to UK outlets to be sorted and pellet-
ized into the various types and then sold on
the open market. HDPE and PET plastic are
recycled into new bottles and other plastics
are used in the fibre industry

CLEAN UP HOTWELLS WATERWAYS
The large tidal flows in the River Avon and its connection
to the Severn Estuary mean that large volumes of litter
can float upstream and collect on the Avon’s banks. An
innovative clean up project is planned by Angus Til-
lotson, a south Bristol conservation contractor, who
wants to set up a not-for-profit company to tackle this
floating litter problem. For further info, contact Angus
Tillotson at angus@ropeworks.uk.com.
The New Cut, which flows from Tot-
terdown to the Cumberland Basin, is
one local waterway where plastic litter
is already being cleaned up. This chan-
nel used to be a dumping ground for all
sorts of rubbish, but thanks to the
Friends of the Avon New Cut
(FrANC), the channel’s banks are now looking much
tidier. FrANC organises litter picking sessions several
times a year, but avoids spring so as not to disturb nesting
birds. To help out, call John Purkiss on 0117 966 5462

 Green Hotwells & Cliftonwood
Installing solar pv in Cliftonwood
We have a rear roof slope which faces SSE and which gets a
lot of sun all year round. We had already insulated, secon-
dary glazed, draught proofed etc as much as we could.
The planning regulations changed recently and I believe that,
for houses within a conservation area, panels are permitted
development on roofs. Panels on listed buildings or on some
walls within conservation areas will probably still need plan-
ning permission/listed building consent.
We had quotes from 3 different installers and they were all
remarkably close in price (£12–13000 depending on the type
of panel) and so we decided to go with the most local com-
pany. We were able to get a grant from the Low Carbon
Buildings Programme. Now these have ended I expect prices
may become cheaper, depending on demand.
We have 10 Sanyo hybrid modules (2.1kWp) which cover a
roof area of about 4m by 3m and are predicted to produce
around 1890kWh pa, approximately half our current electric-
ity usage. In addition to the panels there is an inverter in-
stalled in the loft which converts the DC output from the
panels to AC, a total
generation meter and
an export meter which
are adjacent to the
existing consumer unit.
There is a certain
amount of extra cabling
which needs to be put
in, but the installers
were quite creative and
were able to route the
wiring without much
intrusion.
The feed-in tariff (through your electricity company) from
April 2010 will pay 41.3p for every kWh generated for 25
years - index linked and tax free, a guaranteed minimum of an
additional 3p per unit that you export to the grid and of
course savings on not having to import all your electricity.
(The electricity you produce is always used on site first if
there is any demand).
I would say that none of the installation companies seemed
particularly hot on shading issues. Shading, even on only a
very small area, can significantly affect output so you should
record any shading problems at different times of day/year
(photographs are easiest) to make sure that the panels are
located in the best position.
