Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 City of Bristol Personal Details: Name: Philip Quartly E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: The proposal to extend the Henleaze ward to encompass the old Westbury-on-Trym (WoT) village will, I feel, cause the loss of the ancient identity of WoT. As a resident of this part of WoT I feel I must write to you to bring this to your attention. Both Henleaze and WoT have active community societies and on hearing of these proposals they have got together to consider alternatives that will better suit our communities. They have concluded by recommending that the two wards be combined.into a partnership ward sharing three councillors. I support this proposal and hope that you might give it serious consideration.

I wish to object strongly to this merge having lived here for 44 year. My Grandmother and family lived here from the 1930s, they always loved the feeling of community and village life. My parents married in Westbury Parish Church, would that eventually be renamed or claimed as a poor cousin of Henleaze Parish Church? I now have 3 Grandchildren living in the area and feel it is imperative to keep some of our older traditions and values for the next generation who are already growing up in a world that is changing so rapidly and everyone need some sense of pride and history to look back on surely ‐ or is everyone so cynical now that nothing is as important as the voting system and local councillors?

Hopefully this will preserve our historical identity and preserve the integrity of the whole village. I have lived in Westbury Village for over 30 years and would hate to see it cut in half by your boundary suggestions.

I'd add the Field to the Troopers Hill ward and delete the part to the west of Strawberry Hill. I'd also iron out the blip between Troopers Hill Field and Malvern Rd. Whatever it's historical reason was, there is no reason for it now.

Surely with an issue as important as this, the council should have at least had the courtesy to write to all the residents it will affect, or was it a deliberate act as the council did not want people to know about the changes?, a very underhand way of conducting business. As a result of which, we have not had the time to contact people and carry out further research. The deeds on my property (built in 1930) say Henleaze, yet you simply want to dump us in Southmead. You have already lumped us in with BS10 , when it should have been BS9, now you want to take it a step further. Also, as this will wipe thousands off the property prices in this area, I assume a reduction in Council tax will follow?? We strongly oppose this change and will do all we can to stop it from happening. Surely you hasve better things to do with your time, bearing in mind that we pay your wages. If I wanted to live in Southmead, I would have bought a house there!

We support the idea of “partnership ward with Henleaze”as suggested at the public meeting last week. This would combine the two present wards into one and share 3 councillors between us.

Suggest the name be Henleaze and Westbury on Trym Ward. Comment text: There is a very long unbroken history to the 'village' of Westbury on Trym, going back to the 10th Century. The inhabitants still have a very strong association with that name and it's geographical position, even though it is now part of suburban Bristol. To remove the 'village' center from it's Ward name is to say the least rather tactless and inflammatory. It seems as if the objective has been to reduce the combined total of Ward Councillors in the current areas of Westbury on Trym anf Henleaze from 4 to 3, which I have no fundamental issues with. May I propose a compromise namely combine the new Wards and call it:- Henleaze and Westbury on Trym ward, with 3 Councillors ? There is a precedent in your proposals in the adjacent Ward (Avonmouth and Sea Mills). I have also added two minor boundary amendments (2 and 3) to better reflect the community of interest in places that are stable and unlikely to be the subject of additional population growth.
