.@BristolLive first told the story of Bristol’s CAZ-buster John Lyon back in August, when he was ‘Mr L’ & had won 3/3 appeals.
Now it’s 12/12 & you’ll see him today with @SimsonPete on @bbcpointswest
Here’s his story so far👇🏼

Can't believe I am going type this.. Politics West could actually be worth a watch this Sunday, with something about Bristol.. @SimsonPete doing a bit about the underground, & here's little bit of it in advance.
I'm just off to have a lay down, to recover from the total shock.

The incomparable @SimsonPete has chosen his Bristol favourites. I can confirm that in more than a decade of this feature, nobody other than him has named a recycling centre among their five picks. bristol247.com/news-and-feat…
