  • Summary of Comments - Lets Talk About Supported Transport
    APPENDIX C(1) Summary of comments - Lets talk about Supported Transport Aim of the consultation The consultation sought to engage a range of stakeholders in a debate about the savings the council needs to make with its spending on supported transport services and the opportunities to reconfigure these services following a tendering process and a reflection on some of the recent changes e.g. concessionary bus passes for older people. The consultation ran from 1 March 2011 and closed on 11 May – a period of just over 9 weeks. How was the consultation conducted The council used multiple channels to get the message out that it was seeking to engage people on these issues. The channels used were: • Press release • Leaflets on all buses, community transport vehicles, in doctors surgeries and newsagents • Posters at Park & Ride sites • A listing on the council’s Consultation Finder which details all the council’s consultation in one place on the internet: www.bristol.gov.uk/consultationfinder • Twitter • Facebook • Informed existing operators of supported transport services • Emails to equalities fora / letter to Bristol Older People’s Forum • Posters and information packs to all the council’s libraries In order to have an informed public debate about these issues, the ASK Bristol discussion site was used which gave an overview of the challenge and opportunities facing the council with these services. The site also allowed people to access detailed passenger, expenditure and subsidy information to help participants make an informed contribution to the debate. This information can be seen at: http://askbristol.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/lets-talk-about- supported-transport-services/ Access for those people NOT online For those people without internet access, paper copies of a briefing paper were sent to the council’s libraries along with a paper feedback form.

  • 2020 Book News Welcome to Our 2020 Book News
    2020 Book News Welcome to our 2020 Book News. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by already and what a challenging year it’s been on many fronts. We finally got the Hallmark book launched at Showbus. The Red & White volume is now out on final proof and we hope to have copies available in time for Santa to drop under your tree this Christmas. Sorry this has taken so long but there have been many hurdles to overcome and it’s been a much bigger project than we had anticipated. Several other long term projects that have been stuck behind Red & White are now close to release and you’ll see details of these on the next couple of pages. Whilst mentioning bigger projects and hurdles to overcome, thank you to everyone who has supported my latest charity fund raiser in aid of the Christie Hospital. The Walk for Life challenge saw me trekking across Greater Manchester to 11 cricket grounds, covering over 160 miles in all weathers, and has so far raised almost £6,000 for the Christie. You can read more about this by clicking on the Christie logo on the website or visiting my Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mark-senior-sue-at-60 Please note our new FREEPOST address is shown below, it’s just: FREEPOST MDS BOOK SALES You don’t need to add anything else, there’s no need for a street name or post code. In fact, if you do add something, it will delay the letter or could even mean we don’t get it.

  • 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.
