I established my practice in 2010 and work with a mixture of materials from vitreous glass and ceramic through to natural marble and slate, often incorporating individual pieces of vintage porcelain or found materials. I am largely inspired by the natural environment and like to work in a freehand and organic way guided by the materials from which I am working. Materials are skilfully cut and shaped by hand, which in turn makes each design unique and a one off. I work on a variety of public and private commissions, schools and community arts projects and run a programme of workshops from my Edwalton studio. Clients include schools, councils, community groups, businesses and a variety of private customers. Professional member of the British Association for Modern Mosaic.

    Professor Philip Alston United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights

    Professor Philip Alston United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights By email Our Ref: ZA37220 7 November 2018 Dear Professor Alston I am writing regarding your inquiry into poverty in the United Kingdom and in particular the challenges facing so-called peripheral estates in large cities. This week you have been in Bristol, one of the wealthiest cites in the United Kingdom and the only one of the ten Core Cities which is a net contributor to the UK Treasury. However, Bristol is also an unequal city and I am convinced that the actions of central government since 2010 have made this worse. The constituency which I am proud to represent, Bristol South, has the highest number of social security claimants in the city, the poorest health outcomes and the lowest educational attainment. The southern part of my constituency also suffers from extremely poor transport links to the rest of the city and higher crime than most areas. Thousands of people depend on national or local government for financial and other support, support which has been dramatically reduced since 2010. They have been hit disproportionately by the austerity imposed by the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government 2010-15 and the Conservative government since 2015. The electoral ward of Hartcliffe and Withywood is the most south-eastern part of the city where it meets the countryside of North Somerset. It contains five of the ten most deprived communities in Bristol as defined by the Bristol City Council Local Super Output Area (LSOAs) Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2015. Nearby Filwood ward has a further three of these ten most deprived LSOAs.

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.

  • 20Mph Review Report 2019

    20Mph Review Report 2019

    20mph Review Report 2019 Background The 20mph speed limits rolled out across Bristol are sign based interventions and rely on driver compliance to adhere to the speed limit (as is the case for all speed limits). 20mph zones are different to limits as these include physical traffic calming measures and only cover small, defined areas. The overall outcomes of the project are to ensure reduced speed limits continue to help improve active travel and subsequently health and wellbeing for local residents and make streets safer for all road users. The 20mph speed limit implementation was completed in September 2015 and included a comprehensive monitoring programme. In February 2018 the Bristol Twenty Miles Per Hour Limit Evaluation (BRITE) study was published by the University of the West of England (UWE). This independent peer reviewed report assessed the impact of 20mph speed limits and found a reduction in road speeds and fatalities following road collisions since the lower speeds were introduced. It was found that 94% of surveyed roads have slower speeds, active travel levels have increased and there was a significant reduction in the number of fatal, serious and slight injuries and commensurate significant financial savings for the NHS far in excess of the implementation costs. The final stage in the project was to fulfil a mayoral manifesto commitment to review the current speed limits on residential and busy shopping roads and assess if any changes were required. The public consultation was carried out between June and August 2018, with councillors in an active role, receiving one of the highest ever level of responses from the public with nearly 3500 responses via the online consultation page and through paper versions available in the local community.

One of the many fascinating aspects of George Müller’s life is that it illustrates very simply the power of God. There are those who find it difficult to accept the authenticity of much of the Scriptures and view many of the remarkable stories with scepticism. George Müller received nearly £1,500,000 in answer to prayer without ever needing to ask for funds. At present-day prices, this would be well over £86,000,000. Had this happened two or three thousand years ago, the same sceptics would, undoubtedly, have questioned its authenticity. As it happened in the latter part of the nineteenth century with modern records and factual evidence, the facts can be challenged but certainly not disputed. What is perhaps even more remarkable is that it is the SAME TODAY. The George Müller Charitable Trust makes no appeals, yet through the same trust in God, money is received almost daily for the work, both home and abroad. George Müller was the faithful servant whom God used. This fact has an intriguing parallel with many Biblical characters. God Chooses All Types God often chose ordinary men, sometimes men with an inglorious and doubtful past, men who often mocked the faith, and men with whom a great deal of patience was needed because of their reluctance to turn away from 3 the ‘good life’.

Currently the MP for the constituency is Labour’s Thangam Debbonaire, who was elected in 2015. From 1997 until 2005, Valerie Davey represented us in Parliament. Bristol West covers the heart of Bristol, including the city centre and the major historical sites and areas, from the waterfront and ‘old city’ to St Pauls, Montpelier, Park Street and the University, right up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Avon Gorge. We value Bristol’s diversity and history, but we also recognise that Bristol West is a relatively wealthy and privileged area, albeit one with significant pockets of poverty, particularly the ward of Lawrence Hill which is the most deprived in the South West. Our members are drawn from across a whole range of occupations, from university lecturers and students to midwives and postal workers, retired people and teachers. We welcome everyone who is committed to Labour values and to making Bristol a fairer, more equal city. Thangam Debbonaire, Member of Parliament for Bristol West Bristol is a great place to live and it could be even better.
