I believe that westbury on Trym and Henleaze have similar issues so would be happy for the wards to merge as westbury on Trym and henleaze ward. I also think that Henleaze lake is an important part of Henleaze ward and should remain within.

I applaud the proposal to make the Bedminster boundary consistent with the railway line, which ic neat and logical, but feel that this leaves many voters who are south of both that line and Marksbury Road as now being within the Filwood ward, the main body of which is separated from them by the ridge of Novers Common. I would propose that the Filwood-Windmill Hill boundary instead now run along the ridge, south of Torpoint and Lynton Roads, crossing Novers Hill and the Malago north of the Trading Estate, and then turning south of Hastings Road and its related roads to meet Hartcliffe Way. This would put the voters on the 'flat' between Novers' Common and Windmill Hill all in the same ward and in presumably easy reach, by foot, of the same polling station (possibly at Marksbury Road Library).

Democratic representation from both Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrats or indeed any other party is basically zero between elections. If the boundary changes mean that our representatives take some sort of interest in the electorate bring it on. If the status quo is maintained save your .... err I mean my money and dont bother.

It is wrong to put Westbury High St, the war memorial, the church etc into Henleaze as there is no historical link. Westbury Village has been an entity long before Henleaze and has a completely separate identity. So keep Canford Lane to the east in Westbury, not Henleaze. They are 2 separate communities and have their own community spirit. Please take people into account, not just numbers.

Map Features: Annotation 1: The area north and west of the Eastfield Road boundary to be included in Westbury on Trym ward, not Henleaze. Annotation 2: The second area bounded by Pinewood Close and Cote Lea Park to be included in Southmead ward. Comment text: Westbury on Trym village is centred on the roundabout/war memorial at the junction of the High Street, Canford Lane and Westbury Hill, for historical reasons and practical day-to-day purposes of shopping, access to local resources and social interaction, This focal point embodies the heart of the community. Excluding this area from Westbury on Trym ward would undermine the identity of the village and cause unnecessary controversy. One has to wonder if anyone from LGBC actually came to walk around the local area before allowing this proposal to be published? It will inevitably lead to strong and justified criticism of the LGBC. Given the relative voting populations of each ward, Henleaze ward (c 10,000) can more than afford to 'donate' some of its population for voting purposes to Westbury on Trym ward (c 5,000). This would support the stated purpose of the exercise of redrawing boundaries to even up ward populations. The second area around Pinewood Close and Cote Lea Park shares more in common in terms of housing character, density and street pattern with Southmead than with Westbury on Trym or Henleaze. Westbury Road and Eastfield Road are natural boundaries between Henleaze and Westbury on Trym. Chock Lane is a natural eastern boundary to the village of Westbury on Trym. These natural boundaries have integrity based on history, local identity and the feelings of local residents (I claim some knowledge having been engaged for some months in mapping Henleaze and helping to write our contribution to a 'Know your Neighbourhood' document). Arguably the line I've drawn around Pinewood Close and Cote Lea Park to include them in Southmead ward could be extended north to include Channel Hill, though I suspect Holmwood Gardens residents may disagree.

For example, we have the Clifton and Hotwells Improvement Society, the Clifton and Hotwells History Society. the Hotwells and Cliftonwood Community Association. The new ward of Hotwells and Harbourside would not only separate Hotwells from Cliftonwood but would split Hotwells in two, with everything north of Hotwell Road being in one ward and the waterside fringe being in another. Your proposals would split an established community in two. I am also very unhappy about the proposal to have a different number of councillors for different wards. I can see that in one way this seems reasonable - one councillor per x number of voters, but it means that in some parts of the city people get the chance to vote for 2 representatives of the party of their choice, while others have only one. This does not mean everyone has an equal vote. For example, a Conservative in Westbury on Trym, say, would be able to vote towards putting 2 Conservatives onto the Council, contributing to the size of the Conservative Group, while a voter in Hotwells would be able to vote for just one representative of their party of choice. This does not seem like equal representation to me.

This would preserve the historic value of the two areas and three councillors would be capable of looking after the whole area. 1 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 City of Bristol Personal Details: Name: Timothy Chambers E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Please consider whether Redland Ward should include the area north of the railway line running from Redland to Clifton Down Stations.

  • 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.

  • Further Consultation on the Proposed Fee Structure for an Additional Licensing Scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation in 12 Central Bristol Wards
    Further consultation on the proposed fee structure for an additional licensing scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation in 12 central Bristol wards Background The council proposes to introduce an additional licensing scheme of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the 12 wards that make up central Bristol – Ashley, Bishopston & Ashley Down, Central, Clifton, Clifton Down, Cotham, Easton, Hotwells & Harbourside, Lawrence Hill, Redland, Southville and Windmill Hill. A public consultation to introduce a proposed additional licensing scheme of HMOs in the 12 central wards of Bristol was undertaken earlier this year. This would affect most HMOs with three or more unrelated people who share a rented property. The consultation finished in May 2018; its findings and the full proposal document have been published on our website bristol.gov.uk/licensingscheme Since we consulted earlier this year, a High Court case (R Gaskin v Richmond-upon-Thames LBC [2018]) has determined that this type of proposed HMO licensing scheme (Part 2, Housing Act 2004) is an authorisation scheme and is subject to European legislation (EU Services Directive 2006). In order to comply with this directive the council is required to review the way it structures the proposed property licence fees. The original fee structure that formed part of the above consultation was a one-off, overall payment covering all elements of licensing from beginning to end. However, this High Court ruling means that the property licence fee must now be split into two parts: Part 1- Processing the application: this part of the fee, payable upon application, only covers the cost of obtaining authorisation under the scheme, i.e.
