  • Local Organisation Submissions to the Bristol City Council Electoral Review
    Local organisation submissions to the Bristol City Council electoral review This PDF document contains all local organisation submissions. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Submission to the Local Government Boundaries Commission by the Bishopston, Cotham and Redland Neighbourhood Partnership 15 February 2015 Nick Clark (Chair) Neighbourhood Partnership status This submission on the proposed City of Bristol ward boundary changes is made by the Bishopston, Cotham and Redland Neighbourhood Partnership. We are one of 14 Neighbourhood Partnerships within the City of Bristol, and cover the three current electoral wards of Bishopston, Cotham and Redland. The membership of the Partnership includes all Bristol City Councillors from these wards as well as representatives of local community groups and advocates for local topics of concern. This submission is made independently from that of any political party. As part of the devolution of local authority powers to a local level, we have responsibility for a small devolved budget from Bristol City Council but also for decisions on matters such as minor road schemes, management of parks and street scene, including local services, amenities, appearance and accessibility. We were not made aware of the current boundary consultation until shortly before the initial submission deadline. We have also not been given access to computer software to allow us to measure the effects of different boundary choices on electoral representation. We wish more had been done at an earlier stage to involve Neighbourhood Partnerships in providing their contributions to the current boundary changes. We therefore make the following submission, in reaction to the new boundary proposals, primarily on matters of principle.

  • Bristol Temple Quarter
    Page 1 / cover Suggested images: Bristol Temple Quarter A new city quarter for Bristol Bristol Temple Quarter is one of the largest urban regeneration projects in the UK. It covers around 100 hectares of land in the centre of Bristol, with historic Temple Meads station at its core. The 25 year ambition for the project is to deliver 22,000 jobs, provide up to 11,000 new homes, establish a world class university campus and regenerate the area - creating a new, superbly connected gateway to the city and the South West region. This redevelopment is given impetus by the modernisation of the Great Western mainline – the ‘HS2 of the West’ – which will mean more frequent, higher capacity and faster rail journeys between Bristol and London from 2019. The Temple Quarter project represents an excellent opportunity to invest – for both the public and private sectors. The redevelopment of the area will, in turn, be a trigger for increased and accelerated investment in housing and commercial development across the West of England. (Boxed off) At a glance A new district in the heart of Bristol Up to 11,000 new homes Over 22,000 new jobs A new university campus focussed on digital innovation Up to 22m rail passengers by 2030 Revitalised transport hub Waterfront location All driving the Government agenda to leverage the most out of major infrastructure investment.
