Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways (Fosbr) Statement to WECA Joint Committee Friday 25Th June 2021 at 11.15 Am
Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways (FoSBR) Statement to WECA Joint Committee Friday 25th June 2021 at 11.15 am 1. Welcome to Dan Norris The Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways would like to congratulate Dan Norris on his recent election as WECA Mayor. We are pleased to see that, in his election manifesto, he attached importance to ‘creating a transport system for the 21st century, to include green and reliable buses, trains, and walking and cycling options to connect our region’. Transport is an important concern to many in this region and we are pleased that he will be taking an active interest in trying to improve the situation. 2. Road Building is not the answer Along with other transport and environmental campaigners, we consider that there is still too much emphasis on the creation of more road space. A recent example is the plan by South Gloucestershire Council to ‘improve’ a 7km stretch of the A4174 between Emersons Green and Longwell Green. The plans would see five roundabouts widened or converted to ‘throughabouts’, with an estimated cost of £30 million. It is now well understood that increasing road capacity is only a temporary fix for congestion – and, after a short time, traffic will build up again to saturate the newly available road space. We strongly object to this proposal and will campaign for this money to be used instead to improve public transport, including rail services. We note that Mayor Norris has also criticised these plans. 3. We need an Integrated Transport Authority Turning again to Mayor Norris’s manifesto, he states that ‘Access to public transport remains poor across the West of England. -
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. -

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. -
