Pascoe, Mark From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 16 February 2015 10:32 To: Pascoe, Mark Subject: FW: Re-warding Bristol: Bishopsworth southern boundary ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐ From: Rebecca Paddick Sent: 15 February 2015 20:43 To: Reviews@ Subject: Re‐warding Bristol: Bishopsworth southern boundary To whom it was concern, I would like to share my concerns regarding the draft recommendations for re‐warding Bristol. I am a resident of Bishopsworth and have been for more than 16 years. I am deeply concerned over the proposed plans to the southern boundary of Bishopsworth Ward. I feel the proposed changes would divide the community. I myself would not be happy living so close to the Hartcliffe boundary as I lived there prior to moving to Bishopsworth, and my experience of the area was not a positive one. I ask that you reconsider your proposal. Yours sincerely, Rebecca Paddick. Ms R Paddick 1 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 City of Bristol Personal Details: Name: Catherine Paget E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Do not re draw the ward boundaries for Henleaze/Westbury on Trym. It will cut the village, 1200 years of history will be lost. It is a PROPER village. It does not need to be mucked about with just for the sake of it. Better use of time and money would be to improve the general road surfaces on the main routes in north Bristol, in particular Southmead Road it is like the third world and does not give visitors arriving by car a good impression.

We use none of the amenities and facilities in Stockwood; we use Whitchurch Health Centre, Whitchurch Library, our children attend school in Hengrove, we go to Christchurch in Hengrove and shop in Whitchurch. There are no public transport facilities from our residence to Stockwood. I feel the boundary should be adjusted to the old Whitchurch Railway Path.

The active Westbury on Trym Society has set out a list of reasons to prevent the proposed carving up of this community which as a Westbury on Trym resident I fully support. I have listed the most relevant points from the Society's list and wish to record my strong opposition to any proposal to divide our community. 1 Westbury on Trym is the oldest settlement in the Bristol area with origins in the 8th Century –a charter to found a monastery was granted by King Offa of Mercia 2 There is a strong and sturdy community here with roots in an ancestry stretching back for centuries as a Gloucestershire farming village and in the See of the Bishop of Worcester until the 19thC 3 The village is still a busy shopping and financial centre, equivalent to a small market town, serving at least 7 other wards besides its own, with a car park and central bus stops and having a well- established Business Association 4 Its original school room was founded in 1828 (building still extant) and there are now 2 primary and 3 secondary schools, including the famous Redmaids’ and Badminton Schools within the ward 5 1869 was a momentous year for the village given then not only a Police Station, (now use as law offices) but also the famous Village Hall. A Crown Post Office and Public Library followed in the 1930s 6 It is proud of the splendid, architect designed Village Hall, built in Victorian Gothic style and established for concerts and education by the well- known Ames family of Cote House. Now well known around Bristol as a venue for weddings and parties, it was saved from destruction in 1970 by a village campaign 7 It has its own public park and Bowling Club, established a hundred years ago on land from ‘Canford Farm’, whose name it retains in “Canford Park”. There is still a Men’s Club also, founded in 1896 8 A War Memorial subscribed and erected by Westbury people graces the centre of the village and hosts a large Remembrance Day service every year, with church leaders, choirs and processions 9 No less than seven pubs are still supported within its borders, each serving its own group of local supporters, at least four dating back to the days of coaches traveling through on the early Turnpike Rd 10 An established Conservation Area protects the centre of the historic village and is now under re- appraisal for enlargement after the Westbury Society’s lead in forming a ‘Community Plan’ for future town planning reference 11 The village is celebrated among other older suburbs in a display at the ‘M Shed’- museum of Bristol’s history 12. The half of Westbury on the other side of Falcondale Road is a valued and integral part of the original Parish of Westbury on Trym that stretched over a vast area down to Avonmouth and Clifton 13. This newer part of Westbury on Trym, built between the wars, is still dependent on the original village for all its main services and most importantly, its residents play a full and equal part in the social life of the whole community 14. Canford Lane, Stoke Lane and Henbury Hill follow original old routes out of Westbury, towards Stoke Bishop, Shirehampton and Henbury village (also very old settlements), appear on Tythe maps and clearly demonstrate the connection between the two existing older and newer parts of Westbury on Trym 15. The River Trym flows through both halves of Westbury giving its name to the village as a whole Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/4611 04/02/2015 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 2 of 2 https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/4611 04/02/2015 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 City of Bristol Personal Details: Name: David Parke E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Whilst accepting the necessity of re-drawing ward boundaries there is also a similar need to accept local opinion and historical fact. The current recommendations of the Commission do not consider the latter. These recommendations would transfer the name of 'Westbury on Trym' from the centuries old village centre and its environs to an adjacent ward. The village itself, which gives the area its name, becomes just an unrecognised part of the adjacent Henleaze ward. This is not only unacceptable, it is totally unnecessary. The proposals of the Westbury on Trym Society that the the current Westbury on trym and the Henleaze wards be combined and elect only 3 Councillors avoids this. It also satisfies the need to achieve fair representation for all the electorate. I ask you to amend your recommendations and accept the Society proposals.

Westbury on Trym enjoys a strong "village" atmosphere and is very much an integrated community of residents, shops and businesses, schools and leisure facilities. To divide this as proposed cuts through the heart of the village and is socially and geographically wrong. I fully endorse the alternative solution proposed by the Westbury on Trym Society of a partnership ward with Henleaze represented by three councillors. Please take my views into consideration and arrive at a sensible solution that keeps the village intact.

This will mean splitting Cliftonwood from Hotwells which is a long, well established neighbourhood. This partnership has existed for many years and there is a thriving Hotwells and Cliftonwood Association who do much for the local community. The new RPZ is even called 'Cliftonwood and Hotwells". Many of the children who live in Cliftonwood go to the school in Hotwells. Introducing these new boundaries will split this community. I live in Cliftonwood myself and we identify and feel part of Hotwells, not Clifton. Please do not change what already works well.

Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 City of Bristol Personal Details: Name: Amanda MacDonald E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: N/A - local resident Comment text: Boundaries need to make GEOGRAPHICAL as well as POLITICAL sense, and therefore it is utterly nonsensical to exclude the historic core of the ancient settlement of Westbury-on-Trym from its ward. You wouldn't exclude the heart of London from a ward named London for example. Therefore I suggest the North West part of the proposed ward of Henleaze is excluded from that ward and added to Westbury-on- Trym, which is where it should be, containing as it does the Westbury-on-Trym Parish Church and the War Memorial - the heart of Westbury-on- Trym village. I therefore suggest the following revised boundaries (I couldn't easily use the line drawing tool): The Henleaze boundary should run along Brecon Road from Westbury Road towards Grange Road. It should then travel south along Grange Road until it reaches East Field (note NOT Eastfield Road), where it should travel eastwards until it hits the Henleaze Road. It should then travel north until it hits the Southmead Road at the mini roundabout. The lump of proposed "Henleaze" land should be added to the Westbury-on-Trym ward.
