Bristol residents vandalise “liveable neighbourhood” enforcement camera before the scheme goes live

RHODA WILSON

A few days ago, Geoff Thompson, host of the podcast Geoff Buys Cars, discussed a recent article, ‘Bus gate cameras for East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood are vandalised’.

The article is about “at least” two of the enforcement cameras for bus gates being vandalised. The camera lenses were sprayed over with black spray paint over the weekend, ahead of the switch-on on Monday morning, which formally started the Liveable Neighbourhood pilot scheme.

“The controversial bus gates that form the last part of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood went ‘live’ yesterday [2 June] – but one enforcement camera had already been vandalised before it even went operational,” Bristol Live wrote.

Adding, “The gates allow bus drivers running a new bus service, motorbike riders, taxi drivers, cyclists and local drivers who have been given exemptions to pass through, but other drivers of motor vehicles could face being fined for breaching the gates.”

“Last week, new signs marking the presence of a bus gate were also vandalised with ‘No poor people allowed’ sprayed across them on Avonvale Road, but by the weekend these had been cleaned up and replaced by Bristol City Council,” the news outlet said.

Geoff Buys Cars comments on the article and highlights a few comments left under it, one of which said:

“Come on, that’s not fair. The Council said you wanted this, that’s why they did the work in the early hours of the morning, not to disturb you. Now you vandalise the cameras!! This is really not fair. The council are only looking after you, making sure it’s difficult to leave your houses, harassing disabled persons and forcing all traffic onto other roads, causing pollution to those people the Council didn’t want to help.  Come on now, be fair!”

Local residents have been protesting the implementation of “liveable neighbourhoods,” also known as “15-minute cities,” since last year.

“Meet Green Party Councillor Tony Dyer,” Stark naked Brief tweeted. “He became the leader of Bristol City Council in May 2024. This week [22 March 2025], under his leadership, the council finished installing a series of ‘Liveable Neighbourhood’ roadblocks – with the help of police – in the middle of the night”:

Meanwhile, also in Bristol, the housing crisis has forced some people to live in caravans parked on the sides of roads:

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
