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

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!”

This is most likely why the Council decided to start installing the planters (roadblocks) in the middle of the night with the help of the police. Fadumo Farah, an activist against the “liveable neighbourhood” scheme in Barton Hill, east Bristol, posted a vlog on Twitter (now X) describing what she saw:
