 It’s official, Bridport is to Install the World’s first Park and Slide scheme to ease traffic congestion, the Slide which will operate during peak periods 9pm–10pm September to April. Running from the top of Colmers hill in the West of town and corkscrewing through Symos and Allington, over the post office, delivering shoppers to the heart of town where shopkeepers are already fighting over the location of the landing pad.
 Tatt Modern slide and how the Bridport slide will look
The slide is based on an idea used at London’s trendy Tatt Modern gallery on the South Bank of the river London, in London. Similar in shape to the DNA helix of most humans, the slide delivers punters from the top floor (impressionist, Mike Yarwood Gallery) to the ground floor (Cubist) gallery in a swift and efficient way. Since the slides use no energy they have a carbon footprint rating of 0 Clarkes. Delivery double edged whammy.
The slide will enable delivery drivers to drop off their huge loads at the top of Colmers Hill and still get home in time for tea. White van man will no longer plague the residents of Bridport Town.  Plague |  German Slide Technologists examining the site |
