We look forward to reviewing the draft recommendations. Bristol CCG and previously the PCT have developed local health groupings which work with existing ward boundaries. We have 3 localities which encompass a number of wards. This mirrors social care, mental health and community health service locality provision. The potential for better co-ordination and integration of health and social care on the ground is important to us and is reflected in our joint working with Bristol City Council through both the Better Care Programme and Health and Wellbeing Board. We welcome the opportunity for improved local government and also the opportunity that continued co-terminosity of health and social care delivery and partnerships within localities brings. A map of our existing structure which maps our localities with current wards is attached.

These areas have more of a community in common than lumping them together with Ashley or Cabot wards. Looking at the political history of the area shows that the Ashley ward is confused and seemingly without identity. I think that drawing up a new boundary for the area would help to establish a new community of interest. Lawrence Hill -it would make sense to separate the communities of Barton Hill, Redfield,Russell town avenue, The Dings, including Avonvale rd and St.Philips marsh and feeder rd as one ward leaving Lawrence Hill up to Stapleton rd in one direction and stopping short of church rd in the other. Easton should encompass all of Stapleton rd but cutting off at easton /whitehall rd and upper easton giving it a more natural comunity.

Helen From: Sian Webb [mailto: ] Sent: 25 September 2014 18:23 To: ; Reviews@ Subject: Boundary Commission’s consultation on Bristol’s ward boundaries Good Evening, My colleagues have asked me to formally respond to the consultation on Bristol's ward boundaries. We do not feel that the physical boundaries are the main issue but that we would like them to take these following issues into account: Wards should be represented by at least two members. (Women are more likely to stand in multi-member wards) There is no such thing as ‘simple’ geographic boundaries. New geographical boundaries should take account of transport links, school catchment areas, and perceived area boundaries as well as geographical features such as rivers and railway lines. New boundaries should take into account levels of deprivation, availability of public and private transport, amount of social housing, health of the population and other indicators of social, economic and political disadvantage. i.e. of representational need to better ensure equality of representation.

Map Features: Annotation 1: New Redfield Ward Comment text: See uploaded socument Uploaded Documents: Download https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/3919 29/09/2014 Redfield Ward Dear Sirs, I recently attended a presentation at City Hall in Bristol, at which the process for changing the ward boundaries in the City of Bristol was explained. Following this presentation, I and some of my neighbours feel that we would like you to consider a change in the areas covered by St George West and Easton. Redfield, the area in which we live is split between two wards, Easton and St George West, with the current boundary running down the centre of roads, on which residents on both sides give Redfield as their address. Looking at the polling district maps for Easton and St George West, the current boundary between Easton B and St George West A is in the centre of Lyppiatt Road, Redfield, whilst roads to the east of this line would also consider themselves in Redfield. Similarly the boundary between Easton C and St George West B also bisects some streets and addresses in Redfield . We should like to propose that these boundaries are moved to the natural boundary of the main roads, Chalks Road and Blackswarth Road which form one of the major circular routes from south Bristol to the M32. Redfield is an area of Bristol which is formed from a community centred upon the A420 Church Road shopping area which runs through the centre of Redfield, and has been designated as a "Town Centre" by Bristol City Council, in the Core Strategy, however the current split between the wards makes it difficult to establish coherent policies for the town centre as it involves dealing with two ward organisations especially as the wards are also in separate Neighbourhood Partnerships, an example of this is when local people asked the Neighbourhood Partnerships to fund hanging baskets on lampposts in the shopping centre, one partnership agreed and the other didn't. Easton, besides being a ward is also an area of the city, an area which few of the residents in Easton B and C, or those who live in the small section of Easton D known as Moorfields, have any affinity to, and we feel that the boundary of Easton B should be extended along the natural boundary of the Bristol and Bath Railway Path to its junction with the main railway line Easton B currently has 2352 electors, and Easton C has 2165, making a total of 4517, which with the addition of the electors in the St George West and Moorfields areas, would mean slightly more than the optimum number for equality, we feel that this would be ideal for a single member ward. If it necessary for there to be a two member ward, we feel that a new ward called Redfield, incorporating the parts of St George West A and B near to St George Park, or Lawrence Hill E, with appropriate boundary adjustments, should increase the number of electors. However our preference would be for a single member ward. Richard Curtis Chair, Church Road Action Group Local Boundary Commission for England
