    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

    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.

    Clifton Observatory Litfield Road Clifton Down Clifton Bristol BS8 3LT 22/6/17 To whom it may concern, An iconic piece of English heritaGe and important Bristol landmark, the Clifton Observatory, located high up on Clifton Down and above the Avon GorGe, is a must-see attraction for tourists and local residents alike. Complete with one of the only Camera Obscuras open to the public in England and Ghyston’s cave, it offers truly breath-takinG views of the Clifton Suspension BridGe and outstanding panoramic views of the Avon GorGe. Our Camera Obscura offers a historic and innovative way to experience this historic vista. With approximately 12,500 visitors in the hiGh season, this popular tourist attraction is an icon of the Bristol area. Here are some examples of feedback from the General public about their visit to Clifton Observatory: “Been here a few times with family and visiting friends, all of them have been impressed by the views of the suspension bridge and the gorge. But the camera obscura has really amazed them, very different from the usual tourist trips.” “Great experience - the camera obscura is fascinating, and one of only three still in existence in the UK. The climb up to the view point adds to the sense of anticipation; the view room is darkened, and the image itself is incredible - to think that this was the birthplace of modern photographic principles. All they needed was a means of capturing the image!” “The camera obscura is amazing and gives 360 degree views. Great to go to the viewing platform to see the gorge and suspension bridge from a new angle.” “There are two paid attractions here.

Currently the MP for the constituency is Labour’s Thangam Debbonaire, who was elected in 2015. From 1997 until 2005, Valerie Davey represented us in Parliament. Bristol West covers the heart of Bristol, including the city centre and the major historical sites and areas, from the waterfront and ‘old city’ to St Pauls, Montpelier, Park Street and the University, right up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Avon Gorge. We value Bristol’s diversity and history, but we also recognise that Bristol West is a relatively wealthy and privileged area, albeit one with significant pockets of poverty, particularly the ward of Lawrence Hill which is the most deprived in the South West. Our members are drawn from across a whole range of occupations, from university lecturers and students to midwives and postal workers, retired people and teachers. We welcome everyone who is committed to Labour values and to making Bristol a fairer, more equal city. Thangam Debbonaire, Member of Parliament for Bristol West Bristol is a great place to live and it could be even better.
