A
A
B
Thanks
for
the
response,
I
think
this
political
point-scoring,
a
misinformation,
is
pretty
shameful.
It's
been
damaging
to
our
city
into
politics
in
our
city,
so
it
needs
to
stop
for
that,
for
the
greater
good
of
that
I
assume
that
if
they
decided
to
stop
and
start
to
actually
engage
in
make
productive
suggestions,
then
you'd
be
all
the
is
Marvin.
C
Yeah
I
mean
we've,
we've
said
from
the
start,
with
the
whole
program,
that's
with
the
mass
transit
system
that
we
go
ahead
if
the
next,
if
they
sit
within
the
series
of
tests,
if
they
tell
us
it's
a
positive
and
we
can
go
ahead,
we
go
ahead
and
hopefully
that
wins
the
the
support
as
we
go.
Thank
you.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I'm,
afraid
I've
only
just
seen
the
reply
about
two
minutes
ago.
So
it's
always
somewhat
harder
at
that
point
to
respond.
I
do
have
a
couple
if
I
may
I
serve
on
to
question
one
I.
Obviously
the
council's
doing
an
awful
lot
of
work
and
try
to
get
our
recycling
rates
up.
We
want
to
break
that
magical,
50%
I'm
just
concerned.
Have
we
considered
the
one?
We
talked
about
high-rise
flats
that
something
is
better
than
nothing.
D
In
other
words,
if
we
try
and
put
in
the
same
recycling
facilities
that
you
know,
regular
houses
or
house
type
flats
have,
with
the
black
boxes,
plastics
everything
else,
then
we
might
find
it
unfeasible.
So
as
the
council,
maybe
we
should
consider
going
back
to
the
or
fashioned
bottle
banks
or
or
cardboard
stores,
or
some
of
that,
because
at
least
we
get
something
out
of
those
flats
rather
than
at
the
moment,
where
we're
getting
nothing.
C
The
me
I'm
I'd
actually
phoned
up
Tracy
this
morning
chasing
this
morning
into
to
get
some
more
detail
on
what
they're
doing
so
I'm
sure
we
can
take
that
into
account.
I
mean
having
lived
near
some
some
flats
there
you
do
you'll
know
about
this.
You've
suits
face
a
dilemma.
Sometimes,
when
you
put
those
facilities
in
places
in
appropriate
areas,
they
become
magnet
for
tipping
another.
C
Unfortunate
behaviors
activities
happen
around
out
those
sites
as
well.
So
you
know,
as
we
hold
together
the
clean
streets
campaign
with
the
with
the
need
to
reduce
how
we
produce
the
production
of
waste
in
the
city
as
well
with
the
better
management
of
waste
as
well.
You
know
we
hold
all
those
things
in
balance,
so
let
me
let
me
chase
up
with
Tracy
and
and
get
some
more
information
to
you
do
councillor
dud
as
well.
D
Thank
you,
mister
supplementary,
then,
since
I
have
to
quickly
think
on
my
feet
and
give
you
a
second
one.
If,
when
do
you
think
we
can
expect
some
kind
of
formulated
plan,
then
on
how
we
can
tackle
or
improve
recycling
rather
in
high-rise
flats
I
have
Brookridge
and
balanced
house
in
my
ward,
which
have
exactly
the
same
problem
you
just
outlined.
Whenever
we
built
the
store
suddenly
became
a
magnet
of
fly-tipping
and
everything
got
dumped
all
over
it.
So
I'm
just
wondering.
When
can
we
expect
to
see
some
kind
of
plan
on
this
so.
C
I'll
do
something
let
me
put
a
hook
hook
for
myself
here,
because
since
since
coming
in
the
clean
sheets
campaign
is
something
of
you
know,
banged
on
about
and
I've
wanted
two
things
to
happen
much
faster
than
they
have
that's,
not
because
anyone
is
yeah.
That's
not
because
anyone
is
being
unduly
reluctant
to
participate
in
it,
but
we
all
want.
We
all
want
that
sense
of
urgency.
C
So
let
me
say
that
I'll
go
back
and
if
you
give
me
a
little
bit
greater
I'll
talk
to
Kurt
about
making
sure
that
we
that
we
have
a
game
plan
around
is
by
by
the
end
of
February
yeah
that
pulls
everything
together.
I
mean
we've
just
the
last.
The
last
kind
of
chapter
iteration
of
the
plan
was
about
introducing
fines
in
November
for
dog,
poo
and
litter,
and
then
that's
been
well
received
and
going
well.
So
let
me
bring
your
next
iteration
about
making
sure
there's
a
real
focus
on
high-rise.
A
E
Yes,
thank
you
Lord
Mayor,
so
thank
you
for
your
answers.
Marvin.
If
I
could
refer
you
to
your
second
answer
in
which
you
talk
of
Bristol
Airport
next
week,
blah
blah
blah
new
Airbus
a320,
which
boasts
a
15%
co2
emission
reduction,
that's
great,
but
in
the
context
of
the
80%
cuts
in
emissions
we
need
to
achieve
and
in
the
context
of
actually
doubling
the
actual
level
of
usage
at
the
airport,
that
doesn't
actually
come
close
to
what
we
need
to
achieve.
What
do
you
agree
with
me?
I.
C
Don't
think
there
are
any
easy
solutions
to
anything
around
climate
or
climate
change
and
our
emissions
or
any
other
areas
in
which
which
we
have
to
take
action.
But
what
we
are
looking
at
in
this
strategy
is
again
about
taking
some
of
the
pressure
off.
Some
of
the
major
import
airlines,
as
well
so
I
wouldn't
see,
is
compounding
flights
in
its
entirety
as
it's
about
alleviating
pressure
in
other
parts
of
the
country.
E
Recognized
that
significant
expansion
of
aviation
will
make
this
target
impossible
and
therefore
request
that
the
leader
of
the
council
writes
to
the
airport
authority
in
other
relevant
agencies.
Expressing
serious
concern,
obviously
target
now
80%
and
we
have
a
mayor
rather
than
a
leader.
But
would
you
be
willing
to
write
to
the
airport
and
of
agencies
at
least
expressing
some
concern.
C
C
Okay,
so
yeah
I
mean
we.
There
are
particularly
through
the
city
plan.
What
we're
trying
to
put
in
place
is
a
set
of
standards
and
principles
by
which
that
we
want
to
characterize
a
city
and
we'd
expect
all
of
our
partners
shaping
life
in
Bristol
to
help
deliver
those
and
a
sustainable
future
and
I'll
contribute
to
a
more
sustainable
planet
are
among
those
so
yeah
we
can
I've
got
no
problem
in
in
writing
to
the
airport
and
making
sure
that
you
know
our
aspirations
as
a
city
are
upheld.
I
mean
I.
I'd.
C
Hope
too,
that
there
were
some
solid
I
will
see,
but
my
hope
is
that
there
would
have
been
some
solid
propositions
and
systems
that
came
out.
European,
Green,
Capital
Year
as
well
to
really
kind
of
lock
down
what
standards
of
you
know
signed
a
working
relationship,
we'd
have
obviously
I
thought
that
there
were
and
I'm
not
seeing
evidence
of
there
being
so,
but
anyway,
you
know
we
should
have
had
these
some
of
these
things.
A
lot
now.
C
Well,
I,
don't
think
we're
trying
to
limit
the
options,
we're
trying
to
look
at
all
different
ways
of
making
sure
we
have
a
comprehensive
coverage
of
service
across
the
city.
I
mean
one
of
the
most
in
one
of
the
pieces
of
work.
We've
asked
to
be
taken
on
now
and
actually
it
links
up
with
the
network
of
community
assets,
which
is
a
my
sense
of
what
it
means
to
be
a
Lib
Dem,
which
is
something
I
would
have
assumed.
C
You'd
be
supportive
of
so
looking
at
the
network
of
voluntary
community
sector
organizations,
faith
groups,
children's
centers,
GP
surgeries
and
actually
looking
at
how
the
city
is
served
actually
actually
actually,
as
it
actually
is,
not
just
as
council
services,
but
how
all
of
our
organizations
serve
the
city
and
then
looking
at
the
library
service
within
that
context.
So
if
we're
making
the
case
for
libraries
on
the
basis
of
it
being
a
space
for
people
to
go
and
gather,
then
libraries
aren't
the
only
place
that
happens.
C
It
will
happen
in
community
centers
faith
groups
potentially
GP
surgeries.
If
it's
about
information
distribution,
if
it's
about
internet
access,
then
there
are
many
ways
of
making
sure
that
we
get
that
coverage
so
we're
looking
at
what
role
do
they
play
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
the
city
is
has
access
to
those
roles
and
not
getting
too
tied
up
into
buildings
and
I?
Want
that
to
be
part
of
what
this?
What
this
that?
What
this
review
does?
What
I
would
say
is
you'd
be
absolutely
welcome
to
attend.
C
At
the
end
of
this
month,
penny
German
is
convening
a
meeting
of
community
development
workers
from
across
Bristol
I.
Think
at
the
moment
we
have
about
140
registered
to
come
frontline
Community
Development
workers.
Looking
at
how
services
are
or
not
actually
received
on
the
frontline
of
our
communities
and
and
the
compensation
we
have
them
we'll
talk
about.
How
do
we
make
best
use
of
our
community
assets?
How
do
we
make
sure
our
communities
are
generally
served
by
the
rolls
we
want
them
to
be
served
by
in
a
city.
A
G
Thank
you
for
your
reply.
I
know.
You
may
be
aware
of
the
big
meeting
that
happened
around
the
Iron
Bridge
yesterday,
so
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
issue.
It's
captured
a
lot
of
people's
attention,
so
my
question
is:
what
alternative
models
are
there
and
cabinet
prepared
to
look
at
with
regard
to
getting
more
funding
for
this
bridge,
for
example,
considering
community
asset
transfer
to
allow
people
to
fundraise
on
a
local
level
so
that
there's
money
coming
in
to
actually
get
the
project
done?
Thanks
I.
C
Mean
I
mean
y'all,
know:
Jonas
is
your
patch
as
a
kid.
As
a
five
year,
old
dolls
I
always
used
to
go
under
that
bridge
on
the
bus
on
the
way
home,
and
then
it
was
about
24
I
never
knew
where
it
was
about.
25
years
later,
on
a
ramble
through
blaze,
Castle
I
suddenly
came
across
it,
which
was
an
incredible
moment
in
my
life,
actually
never
been,
never
actually
walked
across
it
until
all
those
years
later,
but
I'm
I
mean
it's
very
starts
going
in
terms
of
bringing
more
money
into
the
city.
C
We're
willing
to
look
at
almost
any
model
model.
There
is
I
mean
if
you
want
to
come
and
work
with
a
finite
steam
and
crater.
Look
at
some
of
these
models
that
could
could
be
helped
to
bring
the
finance
in,
and
you
know
we
are
absolutely
all
is
well
I
will
say,
is
one
of
the
questions
I
asked
was
for
some
more
specifics
on
the
timeline
around
this,
so
we
don't
want
to
say
yeah,
we're
investigating
it
and
we're
gonna
see
what's
coming
on
and
I'd
ask
this
morning
in
preparation
for
now.
A
H
A
I
Thanks
very
much
for
your
answers.
Marvin
I
think
that
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
got
the
terms
about
what
was
happening
with
KPMG
was
that
we
saw
in
the
Bristol
Post
that
the
inverted
commas
final
decision
on
the
arena
was
going
to
be
taking
place
on
the
23rd
of
January.
So
first
of
my
question
is:
how
was
how
did
the
Bristol
Post
get
the
impression
that
the
final
decision
was
going
to
be
was
going
to
be
made
on
the
on
the
23rd
on
the
location
in
the
arena?
Yeah.
C
E
I
I
Can
I
go
with
my
further
further
question
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much.
You've
heard
my
concerns
about
KPMG
audit,
an
advisory
service
being
basically
the
left
hand
and
the
right
hand
of
the
same
organization,
and
particularly
given
kpmg's
recent
record
I
think
some
concerns
are
appropriate,
but
my
particular
follow-up
I
mean
is
ideally
we'd
like
to
see
appropriate
scrutiny
and
actually
cabinet
involvement
as
well
in
this
decision-making
process.
I
C
Feel
a
bit
awkward
talking
for
Tim
I
think
Tim's
position
is
the
region,
needs
an
arena
and
actually
and
he's
quite
quite
respectful
of
Bristol's
boundaries
and
and
crystals
challenges
about
you.
I
say
you
absolutely
welcome
to
get
in
touch
with
Tim
war
on
yourself
and
an
asking
why
his
position
is
I
mean
ask
for
scrutiny.
We
went
through
on
a
cabinet
last
week.
I
C
A
Just
before
we
get
on
to
the
next
question,
we've
just
had
a
problem
from
the
gallery.
Some
of
the
questions
are
quite
long
and
councillors
are
asked
if
they
can
abbreviate
them
somewhat.
We
now
have
Lib
Dem
question
carrot:
councillor
Clough
children
missing
out
on
free
school
meals.
Do
you
have
any
supplementary.
J
C
It
was
just
to
say,
even
though
they
have
a
supplementary
just
for
it's
worth
comment.
I
is
a
timely
one
to
remember.
I
know,
Frank
field
had
started
to
talk
about
automatic,
enrollment
and
and
I.
Think
and,
like
the
questions
a
day,
really
is
a
bit
of
a
prompt
actually
to
take
this
to
call
cities
and
see
what
we
can
do
as
a
collection.
Of
course,
it
is
rather
nice
that
you're
working
alone
cuz
imagine
all
of
us
are
facing
the
same
challenge
but
I
know
we're
all
facing
the
same
challenge:
I
didn't.
K
Sorry
Harry
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
that
that,
and
we
are
doing
some
work
at
the
minute
to
see
how
we
could
possibly
look
at
auto
moment
in
the
city
and
councillor
Chaney
and
I'm
meeting
next
week
to
see
how
we
can
take
that
forward.
There's
a
number
of
different
ways.
It's
a
lot
of.
It
is
around
data
protection,
but
there's
an
active
bit
of
energy
to
try
and
change
it
and
I'll.
Happily
keep
you
updated
as
well.
A
L
A
C
M
And
well,
my
second
supplementary
is
about
the
impact
that
that
is
having
on
the
council.
So
a
great
number
of
meetings
are
scheduled
for
evenings,
which
makes
heavy
demands
on
offices.
He
did
not
receive
overtime.
Answers,
for
example,
to
the
questions
in
this
meeting
were
received,
as
we
were.
Arriving
to
the
meeting
and
two
items
for
full
council
have
had
to
be
pulled
today,
because
there
wasn't
time,
apparently
for
them
to
go
through
the
proper
process.
Are
you
confident
that
the
arraignments
you
have
in
place
are,
as
you
put
it,
working
for
the
city
so.
C
C
277
cells
are
council
houses
from
2005
until
December
2016.
Since
we
come
in
none,
you
know
protecting
all
of
our
children
centres.
We've
got
a
program
going
across
for
mental
health
for
children,
young
people
across
the
city,
who
are
clean
streets
campaign
going
on
I
think
there
are
plenty
of
things
happening
and
we've
got
people
in
place
now
that
are
looking
at
the
genuine
delivery
of
infrastructure
delivery,
including
a
mass
transit
system.
C
So
I
think
there
is
an
impact
on
the
sea,
but
if
you'd
like
to
pick
up,
if
you'd
like
to
start
to
pick
up
the
question
and
turn
it
into
a
debate
around
whether
people
should
have
whether
whether
people
should
have
work
and
interests
outside
the
council,
then
you
for
the
liberty
to
do
so.
It's
not
everyone's
living
on
the
trust-fund.
No,
no.
A
N
C
Think
we
had
a
we
had
quite
an
hour,
long
debate
last
summer
about
Jubilee
pool
when
the
device
was
not
closed.
We
weren't
deciding
to
close
the
pool
simply
withdrawing
the
subsidy,
and
it's
I
mean
it's
quite
a
long
one.
We
began
fall
here
so
we're
not
intending
to
close
the
pool.
The
report
was
from
1314
that
you
were
referring
to
about
the
pool
and
we've
come
in
and
that's
that's
not
our
report.
C
Wanted
it
one,
surely
I'm
I'm
sure,
you're
an
incredibly
well-connected
man
more
connected
anyone
else
today
would
probably
among
the
counselors
in
some
ways
you
know
part
of
the
job
is
to
make
sure
that
that
counsel,
proces
are
accessible
and
not
confusing,
and
unfortunately,
around
Jubilee
pool
I
think
a
number
of
people
seem
to
have
come
out
of
finding
the
process
confusing.
Hence
an
hour,
long
debate
over
report.
It
wasn't
closing
with
people
thinking
it
was
closing
so
I
think.
C
Maybe
we
need
to
hold
the
mirror
up
a
little
bit
there,
but
yeah
I
mean
we
want
things
to
be
as
clear
and
an
openness
as
possible
and,
as
I
said,
we're
committed
to
world-class
sports
facilities,
increasing
participation,
making
sure
that
you
know
people
with
talent
get
every
opportunity
to
develop
their
talent,
get
access
to
good
quality
coaching
and
bring
in
world-class
sports.
The
city
that's
been
the
basis
of
our
approach
to
sports
on
physical
activity
in
Bristol,
and
it's
one
that
will
we
remain
committed
to,
and
that
includes
access
to
swimming
pools.
O
So
I'm
just
wondering
now
there's
an
opportunity
with
somebody
new
leading
education
in
the
government,
whether
there's
a
possibility
of
talking
with
the
other
core
cities
to
the
government,
about
the
fact
that
their
policies
and
their
funding
regime
is
meaning
that
disabled
children
and
not
being
letting
in
let
into
mainstream
schools,
because
there
isn't
the
funding
to
support
them,
and
it
is
a
national
funding
issue.
We've
worked
really
hard
here
to
try
and
resolve
it,
but
it
is
taking
money
away
from
disabled
children.
C
Well,
I
mean
absolutely
I
mean,
and
we
were
given
a
presentation
just
last
week
and
while
we
have
some
good
stories
about
education,
Sen
is
still
an
area
of
real
concern
and
actually
not
just
us.
I
won't
betray
their
confidence,
but
one
of
our
very
close
neighbors
was
sharing
with
me
about.
They
had
really
concerns
around
what's
going
on
with
Sen
in
there.
So
it's
not
just
well
I
mean
we
obviously
concerned
about
cities,
but
not
just
cities
but
more
rural
areas
as
well.
C
We
to
do
something
with
cause.
We
cost,
as
I've
said
a
number
of
times
call
cities
is
a
big
block
of
potential,
but
needs
to
up
the
ante
a
little
bit
when
we
when
we
go
and
meet
Michelle
Boni
a
that
will
go
some
way
towards
that.
I
had
a
chat
with
Joe
Anderson
this
morning
about
some
other
issues
as
well,
and
he's
very
keen
at
that
core
cities
becomes
more
vocal.
You
know
on
a
number
of
issues
and
that's
not
to
undermine
what
it
has
done.
C
It's
done
excellent
work
today,
but
maybe
the
changing
context.
Music
needs
to
change
in
a
way
to
develop
the
way
it
operates.
What
I
would
welcome
is,
if
you
wanted
to
talk,
talk
with
Anna
and
begin
crafting,
an
approach
that
we
could
take
tailor
call
cities.
Maybe
we
could
get
a
collection
of
cabinet
members
and
counselors
to
begin
work
together
on
a
coherent
core
city
position
on
this.
A
P
You
mayor,
yes,
I,
do
can
I
ask
the
mayor
upon
publication
of
the
three
years
worth
of
data
if
there
is
no
discernible
reduction,
or
indeed
it
demonstrates
an
increase
in
the
rates
of
injuries
or
deaths,
and
the
trend
is
established,
can
I
ask
that
there
is
commitment
to
remove
for
the
removal
from
out
all
20
mile
per
hour
zones
apart
from
those
outside
of
schools,
old
folks
homes
and
hospitals?
Please
I.
C
Mean
look,
it's
not
something.
I
would
have
prioritized
doing
in
the
face
of
all
the
financial
challenges
we
face.
It
was
a
significant
spend,
but
any
decision
we
make
about
that
would
have
to
be
taken
in
the
context
of
the
financial
challenges
we
face
at
the
time
and
that
they
are
considerable
because
it
would
cost
money.
Obviously,
to
begin
rolling
these
things
back.
Okay,.
P
P
P
C
Well
and
I'm
gonna
always
speak
to
that
in
a
minute,
but
what
I
would
say
is
a
principle.
I
can
absolutely
understand
the
case
that
you
should
spend
any
amount
to
save
a
life,
but
actually
both
in
terms
of
the
freight
national
policy
as
well
as
local.
We
have
to
balance
what
we
spend
money
on,
where
we
think
the
most
effective
interventions
are
will
be
to
improve
life,
the
most,
whether
that
be
mental
health
or
or
road
accidents.
C
So
yes,
of
course,
in
principle,
we'd
like
to
make
the
changes,
but
we
balance
those
against
spending
money
on
other
interventions.
We
make
at
the
local
level
that
also
save
lives,
whether
it
be
the
lives
that
we
save
right
now
or
because
we're
investing
in
early
inventions
building
resilience
that
save
people's
lives
downstream
in
areas
such
as
mental
health
or
physical
health,
for
example,
and
we
need
to
make
the
case
of
the
national
government
for
that.
Q
Just
wanted
to
add
so
that,
once
the
monitoring
report
is
published,
we
will
be
conducting
a
review
of
the
20
mile,
Arizonans
and
that'd
be
councillor
Lent
and
I
mean.
Obviously
any
changes
will
have
to
be
evidence
based.
They
will
have
to
be
evidence
based,
but
that
will
be
an
opportunity
for
you
to
comment
on
particular
roads
or
concerns
during
that
consultation
process.
R
Yes,
thank
you
Lord
me.
Firstly,
the
mayor
said
that
the
council's
ethical
investment
policy
has
not
applied
to
property
owned
by
the
council,
but
the
property
owned
by
the
Council
for
investment
is
part
of
our
investments.
Would
you
consider
extending
the
ethical
investment
policy
to
those
investments.
C
If
you
can
make
in
terms
of
making
a
case
I'm,
not
closing
down
any
arguments,
if
you
come
and
do
it
but
again
we
you
know
we
make
these
decisions
in
the
context.
Nothing
happens
in
an
abstract.
If
we
were
to
turf
at
people
paying
us
income,
there
is
a
cost
to
that
and
the
cost
is
on
the
inputs
of
our
media
services
right
now.
So
I'm,
not
you
know,
I
think
I
think
is
in
many
areas
of
when
you're,
actually
in
the
middle
of
it
all
it's
not
always.
C
R
Thank
you
very
much
and
well.
I
did,
as
I
did
say.
I
would
like
to
see
well
funded
public
services
from
progressive
taxation
and
taxation.
That's
avoided
or
evaded
by
being
hidden
offshore,
with
no
transparency
doesn't
help
fund
our
public
services
either.
So
the
short
term
income
that
might
accrue
from
not
asking
difficult
questions
about
whether
our
property
is
owned
in
the
Cayman
Islands
or
Mauritius,
so
yeah,
whether
the
lease
holder
is
based
somewhere.
R
We
have
no
idea
if
they're
paying
any
tax
that
does
affect
our
income
at
least
indirectly,
but
secondly,
in
terms
of
something
that
I'd
like
you
to
look
into
I,
believe
that
Bristol
Cable
has
information
on
the
twenty
nine
properties.
They've
looked
at
like
castle
made
the
Colston
Center
properties
in
Queens,
Square
and
elsewhere
that
that
are
leased
by
offshore
companies
and
I
come
to
them.
R
The
council
agreed
to
the
relocation
of
one
of
those
companies
from
Jersey
to
Mauritius,
because
of
increased
transparency
that
colleagues,
such
as
our
green
colleagues
in
the
European
Parliament,
have
helped
secure
to
increase
transparency
of
offshore
tax
havens.
So
it
was
a
direct
response
to
having
to
reveal
more
information
about
their
tax
affairs,
apparently
and
apparently
the
council
agreed.
Would
you
look
into
that
so.
C
Two
things
one
is
yeah,
I
didn't
I
mean
I,
can
check
with
the
team
and
find
out
what's
going
on
now,
I
didn't
I.
We
can
look
into
that.
Secondly,
they
saw
us
on
the
specific
on
the
general
point.
I
suppose
the
question
would
be
is
as
we
as
we
face
and
as
we
face
need
in
the
city
right
here.
Right
now
would
taking
action
against
in
as
your
company's
lead
to
an
increase
in
our
tax.
Take
at
a
national
level.
You
know
so.
C
There's
I
I
said
I'm,
not
saying
it's
clean,
I
I
want
everyone
to
be
paying
their
taxes.
It
irritates
me
every
time
you
get
the
self-assessment
every
year
that
if
ordinary
people
that
the
local
level
without
superstar
accountants
get
the
and
recoup
it
fine,
if
they
put
it
in
late
and
they
have
to
you-
have
to
pay
their
tax
well,
some
of
our
big
companies
are
wafting
around
the
world
rootless
and
an
avoidance
act.
It's
none
of
us
are
absolutely
satisfied
with
that,
but
I.
You
know
we're
in
Bristol
here
and
we
we
balance.
C
We
know
we
need
revenue
here
and
now,
while
at
the
same
time
wanting
global
justice,
you
know
so
and
what's
our
role
in
in
in
delivering
that
you
know,
alongside
our
role
in
delivering
for
local
people,
with
a
need
for
a
revenue
stream
right
here
right
now.
These
are.
These
are
not
easy.
Time
is
everything,
so
you
know
I,
just
I.
Just
would
like
ask
you
to,
as
you
consider
how
we
you
know,
as
we
look
at
this
question
ourselves,
that
you
also
consider
how
you
would
actually
do
that
for
a
position.
C
R
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Marvin
I
wasn't
suggesting
we
give
up
an
income
stream
at
all,
of
course,
but
but
it
is
something
I
would
like
you
to
press
for
both
as
the
leader
of
this
council,
but
also
through
the
other
organizations
like
the
LGA
and
the
core
cities.
It's
something
local
government
should
be
asking
for
and
finding
ways
to
pull.
A
A
S
Right:
okay,
it's
regrettable
I!
Can't!
Thank
you.
Given
the
tone
of
the
answer
and
the
content,
it's
very
disappointing
as
a
local
ward.
Member,
obviously
we're
here
to
ask
questions
on
behalf
of
our
residents.
I
hope
you
can
help
see
that.
Could
you
at
least
give
us
an
idea
of
an
opening
time,
maybe
a
year
when
we
might
actually
see
this
because
in
South
Bristol
we
have
been
patiently
waiting
for
the
recycling
center
now
for
several
years.
Thank
you.
So.
C
There's
a
there's,
a
an
easy
kind
of
premise
that
needs
to
be
challenged.
You
are
here
to
ask
questions
on
behalf
of
your
residents,
who
are
you
asking
questions
on
behalf
of
your
party
and
that
that
needs
to
be
tested?
Tim?
Actually,
there's
no
point
pretending
to
be
outraged.
Gary
you're,
a
master
at
it
come
on
and
69
cancer
is
in
a
chamber,
know
that.
C
C
I
mean
I
was
just
talking
to
counsel
her
dad
about
this
just
last
week
about
making
sure
we're
on
on
track
to
deliver
any
options.
The
you
know,
we've
said
we
want
to
deliver
it
we've
committed
to
delivering
it,
but
obviously
the
model
a
model
has
to
stack
up,
and
the
money
is
still
there
in
the
capital,
the
capital
group
to
program
to
do
so-
and
this
is
one
of
councillors,
does
absolute
priorities
and
our
shores
would
get
more
so
until
bill
to
share
councillor
does
yeah.
T
Since
I've
come
in
it's
one
of
the
issues
at
the
top
of
my
list,
so
the
money's
in
the
budget
for
it
I've
got
no
idea
what's
held
it
up,
I
mean
as
issues
there's
some
issues
with
the
site.
Potentially,
that
might
not
be
the
best
site,
but
the
money's
in
the
budget
and
it's
at
the
top
of
the
list
of
the
things
I
want
to
achieve,
whilst
I'm
in
this
office.
So
you've
got
that
commitment
from
me.
S
Thank
you.
Thank
you
came
to
the
dad
for
that
answer.
Like
second
supplementary
is
I
understand
that
the
lease
on
the
day's
roamed
we
cycling
psyched,
is
to
run
out
soon
and
we've
still
not
renegotiated
a
new
lease.
Could
you
tell
us
exactly
when
that
runs
out,
because
at
that
point
we'll
be
down
to
one
recycling
center
for
the
whole
of
the
city
and
even
though.
A
U
Thanks
mayor
for
that,
for
the
answer
that
did
I
don't
appreciate
the
steps
being
taken,
but
we've
still
got
the
problem
of
saying
I'm
along
by
the
river,
the
only
public
transport
and
fluid
areas.
It
is
the
36
and
on
a
weekend
and
bank
holidays
that
don't
start
till
955.
Is
there
anything
you
could
bring
pressure
on
first
to
increase
the
punctuality
and
the
availability
of
service.
Firstly,
six
first
will
emit
ourselves
is
their
worst
performing
service.
C
Let's
pick
it
up,
I
mean
up
down
there
myself
and
met
people
who
have
said
if
they
missed
the
bus,
that's
it
for
couple
of
hours,
I
and,
and
they
are
said,
it's
locked
out
of
there
locked
out
the
city's
large,
particularly
some
older
people
were
particularly
dependent
on
on
public
transport.
One
other
couple
I
met.
C
So
let
me
pick
this
up
with
vari
and
we'll
have
a
chat
with
James
and
see
what's
going
on
and
see
what
we
can
do,
the
other
thing
that's
the
worst
showing
and
we
talked
to
talk
to
our
neighbors
about
this
was
about.
Obviously,
we
went
into
the
combined
authority
because
of
the
powers
and
a
certainty
it
was
give
us.
Housing,
transport
and
skills,
and
transport
is
one
of
those
areas
that
we
we
want
out
the
ante
with
with
our
combined
authority
to
make
sure
we
get
some
money
spent
and
get
some
action
taken.
V
Q
Yes,
so
we'll
remember
that
and
it's
likely
that
the
consultation
will
take
the
form
of
the
area,
committees
and
sort
by
area,
and
it
will
look
at
the
results
based
on
the
30
years
worth
of
data
in
terms
of
specific
roads.
But
it
will
be
in
open
consultation.
So
if
there
are
ones
as
a
local
member
that
you
you're
aware
of
obviously
there'll
be
an
opportunity
to
come
in
there.
Thank.
A
W
I
have
one
please.
The
motivation
in
this
case
is
not
about
alleged
dodgy
dealing,
but
about
value
for
money
from
consultants.
Many
people
are
quite
skeptical
about
using
consultants
for
value
for
money
and
Marvin
I'd
be
very
interested
in
your
views
on
how
we
ensure
we
get
good
value
for
money.
Under
your
leadership,
please.
C
Sure,
I'm
skeptical
too,
you
know
the
the
it
was.
It
was
an
area
of
significant
spend
sometimes
through
the
mismanagement
of
staff.
That
meant
that
we
had
to
go
out,
and
but
not
all
consultants
are
the
same.
Some
some
consultants,
we
you
know,
are
portent
for
areas
in
which
we
could
have
dealt
with
ourselves.
Others
bring
with
a
particular
set
of
skills
and
connections
to
national
government
and
international
organisations
that
we
are
buying,
alongside
their
expertise
as
well.
C
So
I
think
for
me
in
terms
of
how
we
get
it's
about
for
us,
it'll
be
about
being
very,
very
clear
what
we
think
we're
gonna
get
out
of
it
and
and
on
what
that,
what
the
value
of
that
return
will
be
both
in
terms
of
its
finance,
but
also
what
it
stands
for
is
an
investment
in
our
ability
to
get
things
done
in
the
future.
Transport
is
a
classic
example.
A
F
Can
I
ask
the
mayor
to
request
this
resource
from
the
universities
who
are
going
to
benefit
most
from
having
student
accommodation,
but
we
are
going
to
suffer
the
damage
in
our
communities
of
not
getting
this
right,
so
it
is
very
important
that
the
universities
effectively
put
their
money
where
their
mouth
is.
Thank
you.
C
Well
that
all
I
would
say
is
we
just
met
last
week
to
talk
about
the
local
plan
and
we
specifically
talked
about
students
as
well.
Nicola,
myself
and
members
of
our
planning,
team
and
I
would
assure
you
and
I'm
sure
you'll
know
she's,
taking
a
very
robust
approach
to
it,
and
we
will
be
having
a
conversation
with
the
universities.
C
I
mean
we
want
and
we
need
them
to
grow,
but
there
needs
to
be
in
line
with
the
city's
capacity
and
otherwise
that
grow
threatens
to
have
a
negative
impact
both
on
our
communities
and
on
and
our
ability
just
to
pay
for
the
service
of
you
have
as
well.
So
so
we
take
that
very
seriously
but
yeah.
We
there's
no
problem
with
us
asking
for
extra
results
to
get
that
done.
We
just
need
to
make
sure
that
what
comes
back
is
as
as
objective
as
it
needs
to
be.
A
X
Do
my
lord
mayor,
thank
you,
Thank
You
Martin,
for
your
response
to
this
question.
I
should
appreciate
I'd,
fully
understand
the
complexity
for
the
cabinet
of
trying
to
deliver
continue
to
deliver
excellent
services
with
such
difficulties
imposed
by
austerity.
My
supplementary
is
linked
to
the
principle
of
equal
opportunities
and
universality.
X
I'm
just
want
to
ask,
would
you
agree
with
me,
but
a
sustainable
budget
is
the
best
way
to
ensure
that
children's
centers
can
continue
to
deliver
universal
provision,
not
simply
targeted
provision
across
the
city,
and
that
then
contributes
to
the
continuing
opportunities
or
equal
opportunities
for
all
our
children
in
the
city.
Oh.
C
Absolutely
and
just
had
a
conversation
last
week
without
without
with
the
leaders
with
someone
fun
a
Shadow
Cabinet
about
this,
and
about
making
the
case
for
local
government
finance.
You
know
sustainability
and
predictability
as
well.
Even
just
just
last,
you
know:
we've
just
gone
through
a
consultation
on
an
increase
in
council
tax,
then
we're
told
off
at
a
consultation.
We
could
put
it
up
1%.
On
top
of
that,
you
know
it's
no
way
to
run
a
country,
so
we
we
are.
C
We
will
do
our
best
to
to
make
sure
that
those
those
partners
in
a
city
that
are
key
to
delivering
for
Bristol
have
as
much
certainty
as
we
can
give
them
in
the
coming
ways,
but
we
know
that
children's
centers
are
absolutely
essential
to
the
city's
future.
My
other
hope
Estela
is
that
that
the
city
come
to
see
that
children
centers
are
not
just
the
business
of
the
local
of
local
government.
C
It's
actually
interest
at
the
National
Health
Service
in
the
wider
education
system
is
in
interest
of
business,
who
have
long
complained
about
people
not
being
work
ready
when
they
arrived
to
make
sure
that
we're
investing
in
the
mental
health
resilience.
The
early
cognitive
development,
the
physical
development
of
children
and
young
people
that
end
up
as
the
workforce
is
in
their
interest
that
were
invested
in
today,
so
that
they
will
reap
in
the
reduced
costs
of
absenteeism
and
sickness
in
years
to
come.

Second,
supplementary
is
if
there
was
a
problem
with
the
Avenue
cut,
this
would
affect
two
major
roads
in
the
city
and
also
Metro
bus,
of
course,
as
well,
which
is
up
on
the
same
routes.
Has
there
been
any
contingency
planning
as
to
what
would
happen
if
either
or
both
of
these
routes
were
cut
because
of
a
collapse
of
the
new
cut.
C
A
Y
No
I,
don't
thank
you
for
the
answers.
Marvin,
it's
a
good
I
think
that's
a
really
good
news
story
that
we've
actually
ended
up,
saving
more
than
was
originally
planned
and
I.
Just
think.
We
need
to
be
a
lot
more
open
about
the
figures,
because
I
mean
this
is
a
good
news
story
and
we
need
to
get
it
out
there.
Thanks.

Among
what
I
would
say
is
among
the
among
the
review
going
on
at
the
moment.
Value
for
money
is
its
about
alternative
use
of
land,
both
heal
differently
oceans,
but
also
the
financial
modeling
of
it
as
well,
because
there
was
one
particular
financial
model
that
that's
been
made
available
to
us
and
there
are
different
models
as
well,
including
the
use
of
private
money,
so
that
that
could
factor
in,
but
in
terms
of
the
the
cost
inflation
I'm
not
happy
with
that
at
all.
C
C
We
do
not
want
this
to
be
like
the
Scottish
Parliament,
it's
got
it.
You
know
we.
We
want
a
VDB
belt
and
braces
on
it,
which
is
why
we're
willing
to
to
take
that
time
to
make
sure
that
we,
we
are
absolutely
certain
on
on
on
the
final
cost
of
this
project,
for
the
local
for
local
authority
and
yet
the
wider
economic
benefit
for
the
region.
A
AA
My
original
question
hasn't
really
been
answered,
yet,
to
be
honest,
it
so
you've
given
there
in
writing.
Just
three
states
the
question.
So
what
what
I'm?
After
is
not
an
explanation
of
how
voting
at
full
council
works?
It's
a
reassurance
that
there
will
be
genuine
cross-party
input
in
an
attempt
to
reach
a
consensus
on
the
Constitution
before
it's
changed,
rather
than
just
relying
on
the
labor
absolute
majority
to
push
it
through.
