  • Shirehampton Remount Depot
    Shirehampton Remount Depot During World War I the main form of transport for troops, munitions and supplies was the horse or mule. The military effort on the Western Front from August 1914 to November 1918 required a continual supply of these animals. Several Remount Depots were set up across the UK to help maintain this supply. Shirehampton was one of the largest and over 300,000 horses passed through Shirehapmton and Avonmouth between 1914 and 1918. There are no surviving physical remains and very few very few These images are used courtesy of the Shirehampton Book of images of the Remount Depot. Remembrance At the beginning of the war most of these http://shirehamptonbookofremembrance.webs.com/ horses came from British farms, but this supply was quickly exhausted. By 1915 most of the animals were shipped over from Canada or the US to be stabled at Shirehampton before they were sent to the front as required. Through the Heritage Lottery funded Shirehampton and Avonmouth All Our Stories project Myers-Insole Local Learning (MILL) aim to uncover stories of the men, their families and their experiences of the remount depot.

It aims to show how such data can inform local policy1 and cities now and in the future. Contents page Background to the project . .3–6 Happiness pulse framework . .7–8 2016 Pilot results . 9 Part 1: Overall picture of wellbeing . 10–13 Part 2: Wellbeing resilient wards . .14–18 Next steps . .19 1 We also have a range of case studies available demonstrating the role it can play for organisations Happiness Pulse: Executive Summary 2016 page 2 Why this and why now? Increasingly, economists, politicians, academics and environmentalists are recognising that we need to improve what and how we measure and define progress. Wellbeing is emerging as the front-runner as it encompassing elements of so much of our lives – including health, education, economy, environment and justice. Whilst much work is emerging at an international or national level on this, there is a significant gap when it comes to local scale change, despite the major pressures of urbanisation globally. Happy City is leading the field in providing innovative yet practical solutions to delivering real wellbeing improvement at a city-scale. 81% of Britons believe that the Government should prioritise creating the greatest happiness, not the greatest wealth. 81% of Britons believe that the Government should prioritise creating the greatest happiness, not the greatest wealth. statistic Happiness Pulse: Executive Summary 2016 page 3 A new measure of city wellbeing Policymakers and citizens in cities around the world are beginning to see the power of measuring wellbeing for public policy.

  • Further Consultation on the Proposed Fee Structure for an Additional Licensing Scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation in 12 Central Bristol Wards
    Further consultation on the proposed fee structure for an additional licensing scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation in 12 central Bristol wards Background The council proposes to introduce an additional licensing scheme of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the 12 wards that make up central Bristol – Ashley, Bishopston & Ashley Down, Central, Clifton, Clifton Down, Cotham, Easton, Hotwells & Harbourside, Lawrence Hill, Redland, Southville and Windmill Hill. A public consultation to introduce a proposed additional licensing scheme of HMOs in the 12 central wards of Bristol was undertaken earlier this year. This would affect most HMOs with three or more unrelated people who share a rented property. The consultation finished in May 2018; its findings and the full proposal document have been published on our website bristol.gov.uk/licensingscheme Since we consulted earlier this year, a High Court case (R Gaskin v Richmond-upon-Thames LBC [2018]) has determined that this type of proposed HMO licensing scheme (Part 2, Housing Act 2004) is an authorisation scheme and is subject to European legislation (EU Services Directive 2006). In order to comply with this directive the council is required to review the way it structures the proposed property licence fees. The original fee structure that formed part of the above consultation was a one-off, overall payment covering all elements of licensing from beginning to end.
