At the time, the mayor said, “It is not too late to start the recovery of our wildlife. We must work together to grasp this last chance and put things right for nature and wildlife in our city.” Following this declaration, the council published its strategy document, which outlined its key targets, one of which was to have at least 30% of land in Bristol managed for the benefit of wildlife by 2030. I had hoped this was potentially good news for my long-running campaign opposing the plan to construct a new main road through the heart of Brislington West, namely the Callington Road Link, along the route of the former Brislington Railway Line. Over the last 60 years, the disused railway line has become a haven for an enormous variety of flora and fauna, including 33 bird species observed by local residents, 7 species of mammals such as badgers, foxes, hedgehogs and bats, and 3 reptile species and amphibians such as slow worms, which have protected status. If the road scheme goes ahead all of this biodiversity will be lost forever. However, my proposal for an active travel corridor, the Brislington Greenway, will protect the wildlife that has become established here, and help the council meet its new Ecological Emergency target. Together with our changing working and travel habits, with more people working from home and record numbers of people taking up walking and cycling, the case for the road, which was never strong, grows ever weaker. Unfortunately, the Labour-run Council remains determined to build a road here, which is completely contrary to their self-declared Ecological Emergency. I hope this won’t be yet another example of empty words from a mayor who promises so much but delivers so little. Page 23 STATEMENT: PS 02 Submitted by David Redgewell Subject: Regional Transport Bodies and Public Transport We are very concerned the now that Public Transport and bus service have transferred to the West of England combined authority as the city region Transport Authority. But without precept powers what resources are being allocated by the city and county of Bristol and Bristol mayor Banes and South Gloucestershire council to revenue support socially supported bus services especially to serv Rural and orbital bus services in Bath and North East Somerset for example Bath Spa bus station to Peasdown St John, Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Paulton and Farmborough. Bath Spa bus and coach station to Saltford, Keynsham, North Common Warmley, Kingswood, Hillfields, Staple Hill, Downend, UWE Bus Station. Route 18. Bath bus and coach station Weston RuH back entrance, Kelson, Bitton Cadbury Heath, Warmley, Kingswood, Hillfields, Staple Hill, Downend, UWE, Bristol parkway station and Cribbs Causeway bus station. Route 19. In South Gloucestershire their is are wotton under edge to Chipping Sodbury and Tate bus station route 84 85 86 with also a yate bus station to Emerson Green and Kingswood. Route between Thornbury Bristol parkway station though North Bristol Cheswick Lockleaze Southmead hospital bus station to Southmead Westbury on Trym, Sea Mills or Lawrence Weston to Shirehampton to Avonmouth and Severn Beach. Routes 10 and 11. A network of routes in South Bristol hospital to Hengrove and Stockwood 515. Routes in Keynsham. 96 route from Brislington to Knowle and Hengrove South Bristol hospital. Their are local services in Bedminster Brislington and Knowle town service. Operator by stagecoach west and Hct group (which still need to fit safety screen on their vehicles) during covid 19 operations. It is very important as their a large number of socially necessary services are supported by the weca mayoral transport authority. It is very important that the council continue budget for revenue support within their budget until a new devolution deal with North Somerset council joining weca mayoral combined authority allows weca public transport precept powers. Infrastructure budget. And monies for public transport infrastructure such as bus stop shelters castle kerbs and drop kerbs timetable information realtime information system's and Travel West. Planning for metro west revenue support. The issue of revenue support for rail services over the next few years for Severn Beach Bristol Temple meads Bath spa and Westbury services. Bristol Temple to pill and Portishead and Bedminster and parson street. Bristol Temple meads to Henbury via Ashley down Filton Abbey wood Filton North For the Area and Henbury for Cribbs Causeway bus station. Bristol to Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa Lawrence Hill, Stapleton Road, Ashley Down, Filton Abbey Wood Bristol parkway Yate Charfield station Cam and Dursey and Stonehouse Bristol Road. All these metro west service will need revenue support. And adding new station at St Anne's park and Saltford on Bristol Temple meads to Bath spa line. Portway parkway on the Bristol Temple meads station to Severn Beach. And Ashton gate on the Bristol Temple meads to Portishead line. And the leasing of Rolling stock. Page 34 On we need to transfer the full public transport infrastructure maintenance team to Weca mayoral transport authority along with railway officer and Trunk officers. From Bristol City Council, Banes, South Gloucestershire Council and North Somerset Council in the future. Page 45 STATEMENT: PS 03 Submitted by Dr Val Hennessy Subject: Excluded UK (Golden Motion) There is hardly an industry which has not suffered dreadfully because of CoVid but it is fair to say that language schools have suffered more than most. Not only have we lost 90% of our income and seen our students depart in droves, we have also had to refund large sums of money to those who had booked courses in 2020 which failed to take place or for which the students were unable to travel. We have had to continue paying rents and leases, salaries and taxes. Worst of all, we have been excluded from virtually all government financial aid. Retail, leisure and hospitality were given rates relief and grants; we got nothing. We cannot operate as normal but we are not officially closed. And even when the current lockdown ends and people start again to use restaurants and cafes, gyms and theatres, even to travel, we will be badly placed to benefit in the short term as our clients will be in the wrong place and will likely face travel restrictions and complications. Who knows how long it take for us to see a return to normal? And yet, when compared to all those businesses which did receive financial aid, how much more are we likely to contribute to the regeneration of our city? Each Bristol language school generates over £1,000,000 in fees and a further £1,000,000 in discretionary spending by our students.

  • An Evaluation of Bristol Rais
    An evaluation of Bristol RAiS Layla Skinns, Natasha Du Rose and Mike Hough ICPR, King’s College London 26 February 2009 DRAFT Acknowledgements With thanks to all the staff and pupils at Bedminster, Brislington, Hartcliffe and Hengrove who participated in the research. Their perspectives were vital to the success of the evaluation. We are grateful to the staff at the local authority, in particular, Graham Knight, but also Matt Dowse and Paul Taylor, for their invaluable assistance with collating the necessary data. We would also like to thank Janet Clark the RAiS Project Manager for the advice and information she provided throughout the life of the project. Thanks too, to Sir Charles Pollard, Graham Robb and Nigel Whiskin, of Restorative Solutions, for inviting us to mount the evaluation and for their support over its course. Finally we are very grateful to the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, who funded the evaluation through Restorative Solutions. ii DRAFT Key findings Implementation • Senior Mangers in all four RAiS schools thought that restorative approaches (RAs) provided their school with a framework, more direction and gave momentum to things they were already trying to do. • There were two different approaches to implementing RAiS (i) whole-school (ii) pockets of RAs. • The quality of RAs was higher in schools using the whole-school approach in that there was greater adherence to the programme. • The ‘triad’ model (involving three staff members of different ranks and roles, regularly meeting with the Champion) was an important part of the implementation process. • Full use of support staff in the delivery of RAiS could be used to address staff concerns about not having enough time to implement the programme.

  • Sustrans Consultation Response
    Bristol Local Plan Sustrans consultation response Sustrans welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Local Plan Consultation and is pleased to see prominent references to the reliance on active and sustainable transport throughout the document to ensure that new development is low impact. However we have concerns about the integration between spatial and transport planning - it is currently unclear how the impacts of development will be mitigated. Whilst it is inevitable that development locations will dictate transport infrastructure requirements, it is unclear how development sites will respond should the necessary transport improvements prove to be unviable or unachievable. There is also a lack of clarity about the phasing of development and we would recommend that the Council needs to ensure that the transport infrastructure is in place for the larger development locations prior to their occupation to enable sustainable and active travel choices by new and existing residents. In this consultation response, we have commented on our preferences for development priorities with regard to sustainable transport. General Comments Promoting vs. Enabling We would like to see the replacement of any use of the word promote or encourage when used as a precursor to active travel (walking and cycling) with enable. Promotion and encouragement implies little or no physical change - a reference to ‘softer’ travel behaviour change techniques such as providing travel information of incentives. However, enabling active travel implies changes to the physical environment which removes people’s perception of danger from the existing road environment. Enabling measures would include traffic restrictions (volume and speed) in a residential environment and new high quality segregated walking and cycling infrastructure on the key road network.
