Transport & Travel
The Bristol Green Parties are just some of many Green Parties all over the World. See our Contacts page for links to other Green Parties. We are the political tip of a much larger Green movement. The South-West, and Bristol in particular, is host to a large number of Green organisations, including many national bodies that base their head office here. You will often find Green Party members involved in these organisations.
We don't have room to list all the organisations that we would like to, so please have a look at The Bristol & Bath Green Pages that lists lots of Green organisations.
Below are links to some Green organisations that our members want to bring to your attention. Remember that all these organisations are independent of the Green Party, so their views may not always match our policies !
For other categories of links see the list to the left.
Alliance Against the South Bristol Ring Road
The Alliance against the South Bristol Ring Road (www.southbristolringroad.co.uk) comprises residents from Stockwood, Whitchurch and Bishopsworth and members of Bristol Friends of the Earth. They oppose the construction of the South Bristol Ring Road in any location.
They believe that the money so far set aside and future money to be allocated to the construction of this road would be better spent on improving the alternatives to the increased car use that this road will encourage.
