  • The Multiple Values of Nature

    The Multiple Values of Nature

    The Multiple Values of Nature A Joint Meeting of the British Ecological Society Journal, People and Nature, and the Valuing Nature Programme. 2 – 3 March 2020, Bristol, UK Delegates’ Pre-symposium Information Pack #MVN20 www.britishecologicalsociety.org/events/multiple-values-nature ABOUT BRISTOL The home of Blackbeard, Brunel and Banksy, Bristol is one of the UK’s most richly historic and cultural cities. While its centre offers a huge array of heritage sites, cafes and bars, the city is also surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Somerset, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. Bristol prides itself in supporting independent businesses, and with a great emphasis on sustainability and green ventures, is one of the most ethically and eco-minded UK destinations. Find more information on the Visit Bristol website. TRAVELLING TO BRISTOL Bristol offers visitors easy transport links into the city. By rail Bristol has two major railway stations, Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway. Both are serviced by Great Western Rail for travel from London and the South of England. Bristol Temple Meads offers direct routes from Wales, Scotland, Manchester and Birmingham. Although both stations are close to Bristol, Bristol Temple Meads is closest to the venue, so we would recommend travelling here. If you are travelling by Eurostar to the UK, London Paddington is just 15-minutes from St. Pancras International on the Hammersmith and City or Circle lines on the London Underground. The onward journey to Bristol from London Paddington is then less than two hours by train. For more information and to book your train tickets in advance for lower cost ticket use National Rail.

Cllr Sarah Warren (Bath & NE Somerset Council) – Climate Emergency Action Plan STATEMENT 1 – Alison Allan Dear Tim Bowles I am very pleased to see the WECA Climate Emergency Plan but it doesn't seem to have any dates by which things will happen which makes me feel it is not being taken that seriously. Local government is distinguishing itself across the country by providing vibrant, vital plans and only WECA has the retraining, transport and other crucial budgets in this area. We know that houses will need to be retrofitted and that we don't have the trained staff. In the meantime, thousands are being made redundant and need retraining. I appreciate the problem is so huge, you may be waiting for a national policy - but surely we must get started with such initiatives as soon as possible. Statement 2 - Kim Hicks / Faye Dicker on behalf of South Bristol Wrong Road Group Statement for the WECA meeting dated 9th October 2020 SUBJECT: Southern Orbital study. Specifically, in connection with the route from the A4 – Hicks Gate Roundabout to the A37 and onward to through Whitchurch Lane to the Hengrove Way Roundabout.

    Fosbr Newsletter Number 90 December 2015

    FoSBR Newsletter Number 90 December 2015 Henbury Loop - the Missing Link: Decision made In the last newsletter, we reported on the saga of the Henbury Loop versus Henbury Spur decision. On 17 July, the West of England Partnership Joint Transport Board (WEP JTB) had decided to go ahead with the Spur rather than the Loop. By the time of the last newsletter, Bristol City Council (it being one of the four authorities in WEP) had voted to reject this decision and referred the decision back to the WEP JTB. This call-in decision was duly discussed at the WEP Joint Transport Board meeting on 16 September. Several organisations (including FOSBR) and Councillors were allowed to speak before the Board. There were quite a few eloquent speeches bemoaning the wasted opportunity if the Loop was abandoned. All to no avail! All on the Board voted to retain the Spur option and gave their reasons, the main arguments being: They had not seen any conclusive evidence to disagree with the consultant's figures on passenger use and growth (the CH2M Hill had prepared the report which informed the business case). Any delay, to assess options further, would jeopardise the funding for Phase 2. (It was even considered that trying to sort out proper future-proofing for the Henbury Loop option, while implementing the Henbury Spur option, would also cause unacceptable delays and risk the funding). Following this, there was some discussion on safeguarding the future potential for opening the Henbury Loop at some later stage. It was stated that some future-proofing of the Loop had already been agreed and that Henbury Station would be designed/ built in such a way as to permit the opening of the Loop at some later date.
