Mock Ballot Paper – Voting Guide Mock Ballot Paper – Voting Guide FIVE YEARS OF LABOUR FAILURE Throughout his term of office, Labour Mayor Marvin Rees and his incompetent administration have presided over a series of costly failures for Bristol:

Failure on Bristol Energy – The Mayor has wasted over £50million of public money on the Bristol Energy project. The Lib Dems would investigate the accounts and stop further waste. Failure on the Arena – The Mayor blocked the Arena at Temple Meads, against the wishes of Bristolians, after spending £12million on it. The Lib Dems fought hard for a city centre arena. Failure on SEND children – The Mayor illegally cut £5milion from the budget for children with Special Educational Needs. The Lib Dems helped force the Mayor to reverse the SEND cut. Failure of Management – The Mayor spent millions on consultants, his personal office, and wasted £98k on an unnecessary pay-off. The Lib Dems will scrap the office of Mayor. Failure on Cumberland Basin– The Mayor tried to push his secretive plans for the development without properly consulting local residents

The Lib Dems have fought hard to represent local views

Transport in Brislington is a mess with an unreliable bus service, low rates of cycling, gridlocked roads and rising levels of pollution. Andrew said, “Labour’s crackpot ‘solution’ is to build another road, the Callington Road Link, ignoring evidence that proves new roads create more traffic in the long run”. We have been listening to local residents and support: Bus franchising - we get to decide routes, timetables and prices for the benefit of passengers and not shareholders. An active travel network - safe and suitable for all ages and abilities, encouraging those who can to walk and cycle. Park and Ride improvements - the Brislington site is under- utilised. We need extended opening times and more onward travel options such as bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters.
