SIMPLE SIMON

@taylod1974 @2SevernBridges @CatherineFookes If this was a general rule going forward it will be shut most of the winter 🫩

@simplesimond @2SevernBridges @CatherineFookes the man has a point ! This cant continue. The cost to the economy, childrens education and mental health isnt worth, closing something "just in case" It wouldn't happen in any other industry and never used to happen - especially with this frequency.

The M48 Severn Bridge in South Gloucestershire is closed in both directions between J1 (Aust) and J2 (Chepstow) due to strong winds. Diversion can be found via the attached link: nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates…

@2SevernBridges So you are happy for children to miss part of there schooling day on the off chance it might be breezy enough to close the bridge at some point in the near future. Thats not on.

@simplesimond There are gusty winds forecast for the Estuary for the remainder of this week. There is the potential of wind gusts reaching the trigger point for the Severn Bridge to be closed. See here for more info regarding weather management on the M48. nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates….

@2SevernBridges I can't see any strong or even moderate winds forecast for the week? What information is this based on? Do you realise the knock on effects this has for communities this side of the river? Kids late for school and parents late for work. For the possibility of wind at some point??

@simplesimond Keeping an up-and-over closure in place allows the bridge to be closed quickly, if required. Without the up-and-over in place then bridge closures take longer to implement. With further strong winds forecast this week the decision has been taken to keep the up-and-over in place.

@2SevernBridges Why is the up and over still in place? It's absolutely chaos in Chepstow this morning. Ive missed two trains trying to get to the station

The #M48 #SevernCrossing is now OPEN in both directions. 'Up-and-over' closures remain in place at J1 and J2 to allow for the bridge to be closed promptly again if needed. Thanks for your patience whilst the bridge was closed today.

@MarkTaylorFood There’s a charity shop in Monmouth that still has these sign written lights and scripted ledge… I thought it may of been it

Saw this photo for the first time this evening - my grandfather (in trilby) who sadly died at the age of 52 in the early 1950s when my dad was a child. Quite a character by all accounts. Very dapper

@2SevernBridges Is it?

The #M48 Severn Bridge has now reopened in both directions.

@GaryUsher_ Deep shadow 👌

Ok the more grey looking one is called “deep shadow”. The more blue looking one is called “depths” Honest opinions please everyone. Feel free to pop in if you’re local. I appreciate they need to dry btw & they need a few coats but you get the gist 🙏

@GaryUsher_ Got nice bones that pub 🙌

We all went up to the White Horse Pub today. I’m so excited I just can’t wait to start getting stuck in & get it back open! A pub as beautiful & charming as the White Horse deserves to be buzzing with life & energy 😊

@Natalie_bonnici No Natalie we haven't! - please send direct to me simon@simplesimondesign.co.Uk

@simplesimond did you receive my email a few weeks ago?

I’m looking for a creative shop designer, preferably with catering experience but not essential. 🌸

Compare and contrast this man’s contribution to the UK vs Priti Patel’s.

@SarahfromBath @Natalie_bonnici @ThePigGuide @visitbath We might be able to help Natalie!

@WyedeanDT Looks great guys!

We have been keeping our very talented group of Y12 Product Designers busy recently. They have been redesigning the Big Bean Cafe and manufacturing multi-media models to present their designs.

@jdswaine Whoop!

Two Words. Cloud. Nine

Closed for the last 3 months. Finally reopen with a fantastic outdoor space and guess what? @bathnes want it taken down. Have they lost the plot?!
