Why east bristol is out of the city is an issue to address at a bigger scale than this petition.<br /><br />> You're clearly showing your bias by stating people who don't like 20 are living unhappy lives.<br /><br />1. Maybe, but as the petition devolves into a rant against GF, it does come over as unhappy.<br /><br />2. we have never made any claims towards impartiality. <br /><br />3. Notice, furthermore, the use of "implies". That's an important term from a statistical perspective. We aren't concluding, merely saying "the data points this way".<br /><br />> Nice and balanced report, good work. I'm sure you're proud.<br /><br />As proud as the BEP reporters presumably are with their coverage of this and the RPZ.<br /><br />> I can make generalisations too - if we remove the Kia, Honda Jazz and Hyundai drivers, I bet that the majority of people (At least 75%) will be in favour of going back to 30 zones.<br /><br />Sorry, needs some data here. You are just stating opinions without any backing at all. If both surveys asked about vehicle ownership & use, then perhaps something could be drawn here. Otherwise, no.<br /><br />> Oh, and guess what - I'm a cyclist, so I expect you think I should be in favour of 20 zones as well! <br /><br />Bristol Traffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086394853567703369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803191245171285795.post-7917597553420952242015-08-28T11:23:24.343+01:002015-08-28T11:23:24.343+01:00Chris: that's interesting -sounds like a bug i...Chris: that's interesting -sounds like a bug in the council web site, at least in their postcode -> ward mapping. And it is potentially unfair to both sides, as yes, it will be treated as a not-even-in-CUBA petitioner.<br /><br />1. Out of curiosity, what is the 6 digit postcode (BSX YZZ)? or at least the first bit? And the ward?<br /><br />2. Has this surfaced on other petitions? Pick one at random to see. Grab some screen shots, and if it does, raise it with your local councillors.<br /><br />3. Enter your postcode into the <a href="https://www.bristol.gov.uk/wardfinder?XSL=list&PostcodeId=-2" rel="nofollow">Ward finder</a>. Does it show up there?<br /><br />In the meantime, give us your name as listed in the petition & ward & we'll patch your details in our automated analysis code. Same for anyone else with this problem.Bristol Traffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086394853567703369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803191245171285795.post-74679669355695404672015-08-28T09:57:43.252+01:002015-08-28T09:57:43.252+01:00I signed the petition.

I entered my full address including my postcode.<br /><br />The e-petitions site does not show my ward. You therefore conclude that my signature is worthless.<br /><br />How many other Bristol residents have signed the petition but been let down by the site?CEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422708856135198898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803191245171285795.post-10851779971901769932015-08-28T09:44:22.107+01:002015-08-28T09:44:22.107+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.ChrisBrittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041976304064253005noreply@blogger.com
