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.

2016 Report Executive Summary
2016 Report Executive Summary INTRODUCTION This executive summary outlines the Happy City Pulse purpose and framework, and the headline findings from the 2016 Bristol Pilot. It aims to show how such data can inform local policy1 and cities now and in the future.

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 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.
