    North Somerset Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy Topic paper Culture, leisure and tourism September 2007 Culture, Leisure and Tourism and Topic Paper This is part of a series of topic papers summarising the evidence base for the North Somerset Core Strategy document. Other topic papers available in this series: � Demography, health, social inclusion and deprivation � Housing � Economy � Retail � Settlement function and hierarchy � Resources (including minerals, waste, recycling, energy consumption) � Natural environment (including climate change, biodiversity, green infrastructure, countryside, natural environment and flooding) � Transport and communications � Sustainable construction / design quality including heritage � Summing up / spatial portrait For further information on this topic paper please contact: Planning Policy Team Development and Environment North Somerset Council Somerset House Oxford Street Weston­super­Mare BS23 1TG Tel: 01275 888545 Fax: 01275 888569 localplan@n­somerset.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 The scope of this topic paper is wide ranging covering those aspects of society which enrich our lives. This is everything from the most fundamental of community services and facilities such as the provision of schools and health services to ways of spending our leisure time whether it be as residents of North Somerset or as tourists. With regards to tourism there are obvious overlaps between this and the economic topic paper and the work which is underway on the Area Action Plans for Weston­super­ Mare Town Centre and the Regeneration Area. No attempt has been made to cover every aspect of Culture, Leisure and Tourism. The intention has been to highlight those areas which may have the clearest implications for spatial/land use planning and especially the Core Strategy.

Introduction Bristol wants to become an age friendly city. Bristol Ageing Better, a partnership of over 100 local organisations, (www.bristolageingbetter.org.uk) and Bristol City Council are signed up to making this happen. The World Health Organisation sets out some steps that a city needs to take, if it is to achieve its age friendly objectives. One of the most important is to do a baseline assessment of the age-friendliness of the city in eight key areas: o outdoor spaces and buildings o transport o housing o social participation o respect and social inclusion o civic participation and employment o communication and information o community support and health services. This report starts that process. It is not intended to be comprehensive but rather to start a conversation. What are Bristol’s strengths and areas for improvement, where are the opportunities and challenges that will help and hinder? What progress have we already made, what learning can be shared and what successes can be built on? Although an ageing population will pose challenges for health and care systems, there will also be opportunities to improve the quality of life for Bristol’s citizens as they age.

  • Who Feeds Bristol' Report
    Who feeds Bristol? Towards a resilient food plan Production • Processing • Distribution • Communities • Retail • Catering • Waste Research report written by Joy Carey A baseline study of the food system that serves Bristol and the Bristol city region March 2011 Foreword For over a thousand years, the supply and trade of food has been integral to the economic, social and cultural life of Bristol. During my career in public health I have always been aware not just of the paramount importance of food, but also of the contrasts and paradoxes it brings; from desperate shortage in refugee camps and conflict zones, to the plenty and variety in wealthy capital cities, the intense visibility of food in parts of the world like Africa and India, and of course its curious invisibility in the UK now that highly mechanised production, distribution, processing and retail operate beyond our everyday view. Bristol is regaining its awareness of food – for the health of our local economy, for the health of our people, and for the health of the ecosystems upon which our future food production will depend. We read dire predictions of potential global food shortages, and conflicting reports as to whether these problems are real or imagined, and whether the solution lies with more biotechnology or with less. Yet we cannot begin to assess whether our own food system is healthy and robust unless we know more about it. The task of tracking down and making sense of what information is available has not been easy. We are indebted to Joy Carey, who in a short time and with a very modest amount of funding, has pulled together information from numerous sources and pieced it all together into this important research report.
