r/bristol

Popped into the city centre today as I'm off work and can't drive so took the bus, I'd usually go to the mall for shopping as it's easier to get to from the ring road for me and free parking is a bonus.

I was astonished at how derelict the whole place was. Now I know the galleries is due to be demolished and Broadmead had seen better days but half of Cabot Circus was boarded up too. Having spent a weekend in Liverpool a couple weeks ago the difference is incredibly stark. What's happened to our city?

Has anyone noticed that broadmead is bad? Broadmead is worse than it was before.
Homelessness and dirt and drugs
Buses bad
No one has posted this ever before so i thought id let everyone know broadmead is bad.

Hi all, does anyone know who is taking over Grounded Bedminster? I saw its been taken off the market, which I assume means someone new is moving in. Such a shame to have so many empty units on Bedminster Parade at the moment, with Gusto Deli, Ganesha, the old bank (hopefully becoming a Chinese restaurant) and the old Emmaus all empty

I moved to London when this was opening up, I thought Bristol was turning a corner. Are shops struggling a lot?

Especially closing before busy hot chocolate season, it must have been really bad

Hey y’all!
Im a student and looking to buy a bike here in Bristol to go uni with, looking for smth affordable and in good condition but not sure where to find that. If you know any used bikes stores pls drop it down in the comments.
I’m not so sure biking is convenient in Bristol hence the hills everywhere, but I can’t live without a bike.

My other enquiry is: I recently moved to Bristol from a big city and I’ve been out at night( not super late around 21:00-23:00 both weekdays and ends) for a couple times, but it’s very scary and I felt I’ll get raped/robbed every second of it+I always have to wait for long times for the buses to come at night and it never feels safe.
Is it actually safe especially for women at night and does it depend on the area?
