A
Now
I
want
to
make
a
short
statement
on
conduct
in
the
chamber
as
Lord
Mayor
I
am
given
the
responsibility
to
run
this
meeting
in
an
orderly
and
respectful
manager
on
part
on
the
part
of
the
full
council,
and
this
includes
the
length
of
your
statements.
If
you
are
given
two
minutes,
please,
you
must
stick
to
two
minutes.
A
It
is,
of
course,
totally
appropriate
for
members
of
the
public
to
be
able
to
attend
and
observe
the
meeting.
This
is
a
chamber
in
which
a
variety
of
opinions
and
views
about
issues
will
be
held
and
expressed,
and
rightly
so,
can
I.
Just
please
remind
everybody
that
I
do
not
that
I
do
expect
that
everyone
will
behave
with
you,
courtesy,
tolerance
and
respect
for
one
another's
views
and
will
conduct
themselves
in
a
reasonable
manner.
Thank
you
very
much
right.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
apologies
for
absence
in.
B
A
A
A
And
there
isn't
any
Lord
Mayor's
business,
so
we
go
now
on
to
public
forum
I'm,
going
to
allow
45
minutes
for
this
item
day
today,
approximately
20
minutes
for
statements
and
25
minutes
for
questions.
Details
of
the
petitions,
statements
and
questions
have
already
been
circulated.
I
will
take
the
petitions
first.
We
have
one
today,
Rachel
Heaton.
Is
she
here.
C
C
A
A
We
now
move
on
to
the
public
statements.
I
would
remind
the
public
that
a
maximum
of
one
minute
will
be
allowed
for
the
presentation
of
each
a
statement.
So
please
do
summarize
bearing
in
mind
that
we've
already
seen
the
statements,
so
we
don't.
We
only
need
a
brief
summary
of
the
main
points
in
dealing
with
these
statements.
I'm
going
to
try
to
allow
as
many
people
as
possible
to
speak,
but
I
also
want
to
ensure
that
at
least
one
person
is
given
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
each
subject
raised
so
the
first
one
verĂ³n
patel.
E

It's
the
government's
consultation
by
the
park
for
transfer
on
the
great
restaurant
franchise,
which
looks
like
going
back
to
two
franchises
if
we're
not
careful
one
for
the
intercity
services
to
Bristol
and
South
Wales
and
London,
and
the
other,
the
local
services
included
seven
beech
and
lines
to
Weston
and
Gloucester
and
Bath
over
to
a
local
company,
which
would
be
known
as
London
Great
Western,
which
is
basically
local
trades
down
to
Devon
in
Cornwall
and
into
Dorset.
The
consultation
finished
on
the
22nd
of
February
by
the
government.
E
This
council
needs
to
become
fully
engaged
with
this,
along
with
the
Metro
Mayor
and
also
Southwest
Council's
on
this
one.
It's
not
a
core
city
matter,
it's
a
regional
matter,
so
we
need
to
make
sure
we
talk
to
our
colleagues
in
Exeter,
Plymouth,
Devon
and
Cornwall
Gloucestershire
and
Wilshire,
and
make
sure
we
have
one
strong
voice
for
this
railway,
including
reopener
Hembree
loop
and
the
Potters
headline
which
are
in
the
proposals
and
equalities
Thank
You.
A
F
Residents
group
covers
around
800
homes
in
the
Queens
Road
and
university
area
of
Bristol
this
year,
we've
more
students
than
ever
on
our
streets
behaving
as
though
they
own
the
area
both
by
day
and
night.
This
has
a
huge
impact
on
residents
and
it's
not
a
good
one.
We
are
a
strong
community
that
really
cares
and
puts
a
lot
into
this
city,
but
people
are
now
losing
the
will
to
live
here.

We
used
to
be
able
to
walk
to
the
center
broad
me
to
get
a
bus
to
anywhere
in
Bristol,
but
now
they
seem
to
link
to
know
where
we've
had
to
have
get
a
taxi
back
from
Yas
to
pick
osteopath
and
another
taxi
back
from
the
hospital
I
used
to
love
walking
around
the
city.
But
we
can't
see
how
we
can
do
that
now,
because
we
can't
get
back
home
on
public
transport
I
hate
when
something
gets
ruined
and
at
the
cost
of
millions
of
pounds.

Our
area
of
Clifton
down
Ward
support
of
the
motion
or
mitigation
university
expansion
carried
by
the
front
counsel
in
July,
and
we're
very
frustrated
apparent
lack
of
progress.
Since
then,
in
my
small
cluster
of
streets,
we
have
sixty
five
HMOs
with
five
hundred
and
fifty
students
in
them.
The
pressure
of
these
high-density
households
on
council
services
is
immense,
yet
planning
application
of
student
housing
continued
to
be
granted.
The
universities
are
a
charity
that
can
eight
two
percent
discount
of
business
rates,
but
no
recompense
from
the
student
council
tax
exemption.

Adopt
the
agent
of
change
23
years,
Fiddler's
has
been
part
of
the
music
scene
in
Cypress
tour
supporting
artists
that
will
not
be
given
the
chance
to
perform
some
of
the
commercial
venues
as
they
are
back
profit
not
for
the
love
of
music.
On
the
13th
of
November,
a
planning
application
was
submitted
behind
the
party
wall.
We
were
not
notified
until
the
30th
of
November
MPNs,
set
up
by
the
council
have
been
in
discussion
with
developers
for
three
months.
K
Camas
be
right,
I
can
be
discussed,
put
at
risk
in
a
city,
I
have
grown
up
in
and
seen
develop
in
50
years,
I've
added
to
the
culture
from
artists
all
over
the
world
performing
I
have
seen
recently
the
fleece
Thekla
and
maybe
Fiddler's,
who
provide
entertainment
for
1,300
people
put
at
risk
for
168
apartments,
taking
away
people's
enjoyment
with
a
costume
Hawk
lesson
for
two
and
a
half
years
of.
As
of
June.
We
need
the
council's
help.
Please
adopt
the
agent
of
change
protecting
grassroots
venues,
who
contribute
to
the
reputation
of
Bristol.
K
L
M
Put
in
a
statement
to
support
Fiddler's,
actually
last
Wednesday,
there
was
a
meeting
at
the
fleece
because
there's
a
number
of
venues
under
threat
at
the
moment,
and
this
document
was
was
on
all
the
chairs.
It's
from
the
nighttime
Industry
Association
and
its
a
very
good
document.
It's
got
calls
to
action.
Unfortunately,
there
are
no
politicians
there
that
night,
but
if
you
would
like
a
copy
of
it,
this
one
is
spare.
N
N
There's
been
a
formal
consultation
has
been
announced,
but
we
don't
know
when
and
we'd
like
to
know.
We
are
now
aware
funding
was
conditional
on
it,
one
permanent
road
closure
being
included
within
the
Eastern
safer
streets
scheme.
The
consultation
led
by
Susteren
son,
approved
by
councilors
at
a
cost
of
one
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
pounds,
did
not
highlight
this
conditional
road
closure.
N
We
feel
that
the
residents
of
Eastern
have
been
misled
into
thinking
that
they
had
a
choice
when
in
reality
this
was
not
the
case
as
an
agreed,
as
an
agreement
had
already
been
made
by
South
to
close
roads
from
the
get-go.
Why
waste
one
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
pounds
of
public
money,
pretending
the
eastern
residents
even
had
a
choice?
Consultation
process
was
misleading.
Those
involved
were
asked
what
they
wanted
to
have
implemented,
but
were
not
made
aware
that
there
was
always
going
to
be
a
road
closure.
N
The
results
of
the
consultation
had
been
deliberately
manipulated
to
present
a
road
closure
as
a
popular
option.
Despite
the
council's
survey
data,
not
supporting
this
road
closures
were
only
a
third
choice
at
best
and
seventh
choice
in
some
proposed
areas.
Eastern
voice
has
been
very
concerned
for
some
time
about
the
demographic
profile
of
those
consulted.
N
We
have
had
a
number
of
meetings
with
local
faith
groups
and
also
met
with
many
from
the
black
and
minority
ethnic
community,
which
has
only
served
to
heighten,
asked
concerns
about
those
whose
views
would
appear
to
not
to
have
been
ignored.
The
eastern
safer
streets
presentation
provided
on
20th
of
November
the.
N
So,
taking
into
account
the
unknown
the
25
percent
weighed
accordingly,
this
highlights
that
only
23
percent
of
those
consulted
were
from
the
be
AME
community.
We
are
sure
Eastern,
easeful
and
Lawrence.
Here
are
proud
to
be
one
of
the
most
ethnically
diverse
communities
in
Bristol
and
its
surrounding
areas.
We
would
have
hoped
that
they
was
elected
to
present.
Such
communities
would
not
ignore
those
who
are
so
often
underrepresented
in
areas
in
other
areas
of
their
lives.
O
Thank
you.
This
statement
supports
previous
submissions
describing
issues
caused
by
living
on
the
edge
of
a
residence
parking
scheme
which
are
yet
to
be
responded
to.
Despite
requests,
I
walk
my
dog
daily
and
in
the
five
minutes
it
takes
to
walk
down
Alton
Road
and
bishops
turn
between
9:30
and
10:30.
In
five
days,
I
witnessed
two
face.
Offs
one
car
bump
dropped,
curbs
parked
across
and
blocked
all
week,
cars
parked
on
yellow
lines,
corner
parking
and
cycle
lanes
blocked.
The
recent
campaign
to
the
council
regarding
pavement
parking
also
makes
these
points.
O
There
are
huge
safety
and
access
issues.
However,
legislation
alone
will
not
solve
the
problem
in
London.
This
is
used
in
combination
with
permit
parking
roads
in
Bishop
stone
and
st.
Andrews
are
being
choked
with
commuters.
Please
will
the
council
support
councillors
to
run
a
proper
consultation
on
residents
views
by
providing
clear
criteria
and
resource
to
support?
Please
show
us
that
the
council
takes
these
issues
seriously
as
standing
by
election
promises
does
not
no
more
parking
schemes
is
not
necessarily
the
answer.
Commuter
parking
will
stop
residents
and
business
thriving
in
the
local
area.
Thank
you.
P
I'm
here
you
two
really
really
beg
you
to
reverse
the
cuts
not
to
do
any
more
cuts.
You
haven't.
Ut
under
the
care
of
care.
Money
is
spent
very
badly
in
this
council
and
the
last
administration.
It
was
even
only
legal
budget,
but
no
one.
No
one
can
take
prosecute
anyone
because
it
will
cost
too
much
money's
people
are
getting
away
with
a
lot.
In
the
meantime,
the
people
who
are
really
suffering
in
this
city
are
very
disabled.
They
should
never
ever
ever
be
on
the
frontline
of
the
cuts
they're
already.
P
All
those
services
are
underfunded.
It's
to
say
that
you're,
making
services
better
by
cutting
them-
and
so
I
was
really
this
concerned
to
see
the
deaf
people
here
begging
for
a
bit
of
transport
money
when
they
had
a
complete
30
years
ago.
They
had
a
Center
that
was
one
of
the
best
centers
in
the
country,
and
people
would
move
to
Bristol
to
bring
their
children
here.
So
they
could
be
part
of
a
community.
P
A
That
concludes
the
statements
received
from
the
public
council
is
asked
to
receive
a
note.
These
statements,
which
I
also
refer
to
the
mayor
for
his
information
and
consideration,
we're
now
going
to
move
on
to
public
questions.
I'm
will
deal
with
as
many
of
these
as
we
possibly
can,
and
will
you
please
note
that
the
questions
will
be
will
be
displayed
on
the
screen,
so
there
is
no
need
for
questioners
to
read
out
their
questions.
A
Q
R
You
can
do
that
in
a
follow-up
as
well.
So
the
way
so
you
know
we
see
a
role
for
well-designed
digital
advertising
in
our
commercial
areas
and
that
and
the
carrots
or,
as
recently
supported
proposals
for
this
as
part
of
the
legible
City
project,
which
also
brings
much
needed
income
to
the
council
as
well,
which
is
one
of
our
dilemmas.
So
it
is
equally
important
that
our
policies
and
our
approach
enables
well
design
proposals
where
they
would
not
cause
visual
harm
to
the
city
or
would
be
harmful
to
public
safety.
R
But
I'm,
aware
of
the
numerous
applications
for
digital
adverts
have
been
made
in
recent
times
across
the
city
and
especially
in
a
city
center,
and
a
number
of
these
have
been
refused
permission
and
we
have
largely
been
successful
at
appeal,
although
the
case
that
you
referred
to
is
an
exception,
but
I
do
believe
and
hope
and
believe.
Our
current
policies
are
bust
enough
for
us
to
properly
assess
these
applications
and
defend
our
decisions
that
any
appeals.
Q
Great
thank
you
for
your
response.
Mr.
man
and
my
suppose,
ya
submitted
quite
I,
do
have
a
supplementary
question
and
the
question
I
submitted
in
writing
was
about
planning
law
and
the
revision
of
the
local
plan
and
a
response
at
those
I'm
coming
out
as
a
local
resident.
In
some
way.
Berg's
we've
got
lots
of
big
corporate
outdoor
billboards
and
my
own
personal
experience
of
it
is
I,
do
have
a
supplementary
questionnaire,
but
my
own
personal
experiences
I,
would
say:
can.
Q
Live
in
a
residential
area
with
loads
of
outdoor,
our
corporate
billboards,
it
impacts
my
ability
to
support,
say
my
flatmate
in
dealing
with
his
relationship
with
food
and
his
relationship
to
his
overweighting.
It's
cuz.
When
we
walk
down
the
street,
we
see
a
big
like
KFC
advert
on
the
billboard
and
it
so
undermines
my
our
ability
to
work
for
you
to
go,
but
that's
just
one
example
of
one
of
the
many
different
types
of
impacts.
Q
So
my
supplement
question
is
this:
so
does
the
council
have
a
position
on
the
appropriateness
or
not
of
the
siting
of
big
corporate
outdoor
billboards
in
residential
areas,
where
we
try
to
walk,
live,
play
and
exist
and
I'm
not
just
talking
about
KFC
I'm?
Talking
about
you
know
the
medium
in
itself.
Does
the
council
have
a
position
on
the
appropriateness
of
the
siting
and
residential
where
it
is.
R
Well,
those
decisions
are
made
during
the
planning
process
and,
like
I
said
they,
you
know,
though
we
don't
I,
think
I,
absolutely
understand
what
you're
saying
advertising
is
there
to
shape
behavior
some
people
say
it
doesn't.
But
I
read
a
David
korten
book
a
number
of
years
ago.
He
said
if
it
didn't,
they
wouldn't
spend
a
trillion
pounds
on
it
right.
So
we
know
it
impacts
on
behaviour
and
we
know
that
can
can
impacts
on
the
visual
appeal
of
a
place
as
well.
We
face
you
know,
but
that
we
make
those
decisions
are
made.
R
Mr.
Donald,
thank
you
okay,
well,
I.
Do
thank
you
for
the
invite
I
love
getting
invites
to
come
out
visit,
but
what
I
would
suggest
is
that
it
be
best
to
invite
councilor
furfle
who's,
the
lead
for
transport
and
connectivity,
but
I
have
asked
off
transport
officers
to
attend
Kampfer
Lane
and
to
meet
with
residents
to
discuss
the
new
ways
to
find
ways
to
raise
money
for
these
interventions,
also
building
on
community
assets
and
resources.
But
you
know
if
I
can
come
at
some
point:
I
will.
L
L
A
question
is
assisted
by
the
answer
that
you
gave
earlier
to
councillor
Martin
Fodor,
which
I
was
privileged
to
to
hear,
but
was
rather
confused
by,
in
that
you
seem
to
be
saying
that
a
system
where
there
was
no
process
and
no
criteria
was
nonetheless
not
ad
hoc
and
I.
Wonder
if
you
could
have
another
go
at
explaining
for
me
and
residents
how
it
is
that
you
proposed
to
prioritize
minor
highway
schemes
such
as
the
crossing
that
Canford
Lane
residents
have
been
pressing
for
and
may
I
have
a
written
answer.
R
You
can
have
written
answer.
We
weren't
send
us
out
what
we're
saying
is
we're
looking
with
the
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
the
congestion
task
group.
We've
actually
tried
to
get
away
from
the
idea
from
an
approach
that
has
been
ad
hoc,
which
has
been
a
response
to
the
loudest
voices.
All
the
the
the
the
road
crisis
that
happens
to
them
picked
up
in
the
local
papers
in
a
local
news.
By
having
a
comprehensive
view
of
of
how
we'll
under-delivered
a
transport
system,
the
city
actually
needs
to
take
a
system
review.
R
Hence
the
approach
we
took
to
print
Street
Bridge,
which
wasn't
taken
in
isolation
but
taken
in
around
as
well.
So
so
far
from
far
from
that,
which
was
an
interesting
reinterpretation
by
Councillor,
photo
we've
gone
the
other
way.
What
I
said
is
what
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me
here
is
the
flowchart
of
had
I'd
be
done,
but
all
those
decisions
about
local
schemes
would
be
taken
in
the
context
of
how
they
balance
against
the
need
to
deliver
a
chapter
change
with
the
big
infrastructure
changes.
We
need
as
well.
R
So
Patricia
the
the
University
of
Bristol,
has
commissioned
of
commissioned
consultants
to
develop
a
strategy
that
will
help
in
shaping
our
new
approaches
to
managing
university
development
and
the
effects
of
student
accommodation
on
the
city
and
the
outcome
of
that
work
will
form
part
of
our
ongoing
discussions.
The
planning
application
for
development
of
a
new
campus
at
Bristol
temple
quarter
includes
1,500
student
bed
spaces
as
part
of
the
proposal.
R
This
is
this
is
something
that
was
an
issue
that
we
raised
as
a
collection
of
core
cities
just
two
or
three
weeks
ago,
when
we
met
with
our
CLG
minister
Sajid
Javid
just
about-
and
we
raised,
we've
also
raised
in
our
group
as
well
at
the
combined
authority
level
about
how
we
we
develop
a
shared
voice
on
this
as
a
collection
of
cities
around
the
impact
of
the
community
university
expansion
which
we
want.
But
we
have
to
do
well.
R
I'd
also
say
that
we're
intending
to
publish
a
rewrite
of
the
local
plan
early
next
year,
which
was
set
out,
how
we
intend
to
use
new
and
stronger
ways
of
managing
the
growth
of
student,
accommodation
and
other
university
developments
and
we'll
be
consulting
on
these
ideas
before
putting
them
into
practice
before
progressing.
It
will
be
important
to
get
the
views
from
communities
affected
by
these
developments
and
also
from
those
areas
where
residents
may
wish
to
encourage
University
development
to
help
diversify
regenerate
their
areas.
R
Any
modified
approach
need
not
rely
on
the
production
of
a
special
plan.
Meanwhile,
any
planning
applications
for
student
accommodation
are
judged
against
the
policies
in
the
current
local
plan.
That
plan
says
that
student
accommodation
development
must
not
harm
the
residential
amenity
or
character
of
the
locality
and
takes
into
account
the
effects
of
harmful
concentrations
and
I'm
sure
that
officers
and
the
development
control
committees
will
be
scrutinizing.
Student,
accommodation
and
university
development
appraisals
very
carefully
to
make
sure
that
local
committees
will
not
be
harmfully
affected.
T
Particularly
in
regard
to
what
you
say
about
current
planning
policy,
which
has
signally
failed
over
the
last
five
years
to
prevent
applications
being
granted,
and
there
was
one
case
where,
in
fact,
unusually,
an
application
was
refused
and
it
was
thrown
out
by
the
inspector
and
he
granted
on
appeal.
It
was
put
forward
because
we
did
not
have
a
supplementary
planning
document,
giving
specifics
about
what
we
mean
by
over
concentration.
T
Could
I
ask,
therefore,
that
we
press
for
progress
on
a
stakeholder
consultation
on
a
supplemental
planning
document
to
the
existing
local
plan
and
not
wait
three
or
four
years
until
new
policies
emerge
from
the
new
local
plan.
We
can't
wait.
The
community's
you've
heard
some
of
them
speak
today.
Literacy.
T
R
I'd
say
I
mean
as
we've
as
we've
looked
at
how
we
begin
to
plan
development
of
the
city.
We've
listed
a
need
to
provide
homes
for
domestic
residents
as
it
were,
with
the
number
of
student
accommodation
come
up.
This
has
been
an
absolute
priority
for
us.
Let
me
allow
Nicola
Beechmont
covenant
lead
for
strategic
planning
to
speak
to
this
as
well,
because
there's
something
that
she
has
been
working
on
quite
ferociously
high.
U
Pressure
and
I
was
gonna
see
if
we
can
compare
Diaries
at
the
end
of
this
to
and
the
break.
Perhaps
just
look
at
how
we
might
be
onto
me
I
think
I
just
want
to
add
to
what
you've
said
and
the
motion
that
went
through
full
council
in
July
is
tackling
a
number
of
things
and
we
a
number
of
the
people
and
the
Commission
met.
U
Actually
yesterday,
at
the
local
time
working
group,
they
sit
on
the
working
group
and
my
challenge
back
to
them
is
actually
to
just
really
understand
what
output
you
want
to
get
from
this
SPD,
because
we
talked
about
these
documents.
You
know
the
JSP
local
plan
SPD
and
actually,
what
that
results
in
is
a
very
defined
set
of
outputs,
and
so
my
challenge
to
the
guys
who
are
working
on
that
cross-party
Commission,
is
to
just
write
me
a
document
which
sets
out
what
you
actually
want
to
achieve,
because
it's
slightly
muddled
at
the
moment.
U
So
I
don't
disagree
with
you
and
the
people
that
have
come
today
to
say
that
there
is
something
we
need
to
do
to
control
and
understand
the
student
expansion
that
we
anticipate.
But
equally,
what
I
don't
want
to
do
is
direct
a
shedload
of
officer
time
to
a
document
which
will
not
achieve
what
you're
looking
for
and
I'm
yet
to
see.
U
Despite
the
motion,
a
piece
of
paper
that
clearly
sets
out
what
exactly
is
needed,
because
the
stem
future
growth
in
areas
like
Tata,
Down,
South,
Bristol
areas
around
Temple,
Meads,
absolutely
on
the
front
foot
with
that,
and
that
is
what
we're
charging
officers
to
look
at
to
bring
forward
plans
to
protect
those
communities.
But
if
you're
talking
about
areas
of
cotton,
Clifton
and
those
spaces,
future
expansion
will
not
affect
them
in
the
same
way.
U
So
my
challenge
to
the
Commission,
which
we
spoke
about
yesterday
and
looking
at
a
couple
of
them
right
now,
is
to
get
me
that
piece
of
paper
and
absolutely
happy
to
work
with
stakeholders
in
developing
that,
but,
let's
not
waste
officers,
time
developing
a
very
long
and
lengthy
planning
document
which
will
not
achieve
what
you're.
Looking
for.
Thank
you.
R
Okay,
much
for
your
question.
Katherine
Suvi.
We
recognize
as
you
talk
about
micro
environments,
that
every
street
is
different
and
should
meet
the
needs
of
local
community.
That
is
Irv's.
We
also
recognize.
There
are
many
competing
demands
for
road
space
with
very
often
serving
a
number
of
different
functions
for
a
community,
so
we're
looking
for
a
balance
to
be
struck
between
the
local
needs
and
the
citywide
aspirations.
R
The
emerging
Bristol
Transport
plan
will
recognize
that
different
roads
of
different
uses
and
will
aim
to
show
how
each
of
these
should
be
treated
depending
on
their
nature
and
their
primary
focus.
So
on
a
scheme
by
scheme
basis,
officers
endeavor
to
ensure
such
issues
are
identified
early
on
and
design
the
scheme.
Accordingly.
V
Thank
You
Martin
and
following
your
brief
email
response
to
my
statement
on
the
same
issue
last
month,
you
did
state
I
would
encourage
you
to
speak
to
your
local
ward
councillors
about
what
can
be
done
in
the
area.
With
regards
enforcement
and
parking
interventions,
and
after
18
months
of
engaging
with
our
very
supportive
councillors
on
this
matter,
Martin,
Davis
and
Martin
fodder.
V
Will
you
come
and
see
the
local
impact
on
residents,
as
you
do
with
traders
regularly,
and
will
you
commit
to
setting
aside
some
resources
for
the
residents
of
Gloucester
Road,
such
as
allocating
a
project
fund
to
enable
proper
technical
advice
and
help
to
improve
the
lives
of
a
large
number
of
residents
living
on
the
edge
of
the
RP
said?
Well,.
R
I
visit
I
mean
I
can
give
a
visit
as
many
people
as
I
can
in
the
hours
I've
got
that
I
both
here,
but
also
in
being
a
husband
and
a
father
too
so
I
know,
there's
I
constantly
get
and
I
hope
it's
not
proof
of
caring
or
not.
If
I
don't
come,
my
somehow
I'm,
not
interested.
That's
not
the
case
at
all
is
that
you
know
you
come
in,
you
do
you
do
his
stuff
and
and
you
you
go
home.
R
So
that's
a
reality
if
I
can
come,
I
will
but
I
need
to
talk
to
the
team
about
that.
Make
a
space
for
that
and
I
hope
it
was.
You
know.
I
have
talked
to
traders,
but
I
talked
to
residents
in
different
parts.
I
was
in
know,
West
Boxing,
Club
didn't
I.
You
know
we
do
get
around
as
much
as
as
much
as
possible,
but
I
can't
do
right.
Now
is
talk
about
what
resources
needed.
I
need
to
know
what
the
case
is
and
what
what
was
also
would
need
to
be
provided
to
progress
it.
R
R
Hi,
so
one
of
my
key
pledges
was
to
ensure
that
residents
parking
schemes
were
only
introduced
in
areas
where
there
is
widespread
support
in
a
local
community
and
local
councillors
need
to
be
able
to
demonstrate.
There
is
overwhelming
support
in
an
area
before
we
consider
going
to
the
next
steps,
but.
O
How
can
they
do
that?
Because
the
new
document
is
quite
vague
and
it
feels
like
we're
needing
to
jump
through
hoops
of
fire
for
then
Council
to
just
say
no,
there's
not
overwhelming
support
or
no
that's
not
enough.
It
seems
very
vague
document
and
doesn't
particularly
offer
a
lot
of
support
commitment
to
our
councillors
to
work
with
us.
O
R
I
love
political
Dawei
but
I
hope
I'm,
not
being
misinterpreted
accidentally
or
intentionally
yeah.
When
I
talk
about
if
I
talk
about
political
women,
what
I'm
talking
about
is
is
what
the
sometimes
played
politics,
both
internationally
nationally
and
locally,
and
we're
trying
to
avoid
that
and
I
wasn't
making
any
suggestion
that
anyone
was.
Was
that
time,
a
political
whim,
I'm
just
saying
he's
suffering
that
we
really
want
to
avoid.
A
A
R
R
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
since
March
2016
today,
there
have
been
a
total
of
110
bed
night
cancellations.
This
is
4%
of
the
spaces
available
and
is
a
combination
of
family
cancellation
and
Bristol
City
Council,
cancellations
of
the
hundred
and
ten
bed
night
cancellations.
90
nights
were
cancelled
by
families
and
20
by
Bristol
City
Council
affecting
11
families.
In
total.
R
M
A
R
W
R
Okay,
ten
year
plan
for
safety
hi
thanks
very
much
for
this
question
Deborah,
so
the
the
safe
systems
approach
to
road
safety
and
Bristol
sets
out
how
we'll
work
towards
achieving
this
aim
by
2024
and
is
by
2024
we're
not
there.
Yet,
whilst
progress
will
be
limited
by
the
current
financial
pressures,
we
continue
to
work
towards
this.
We
continue
to
work
closely
with
schools
to
encourage
road
safety
and
sustainable
and
active
travel.
R
Much
of
the
effort
has
been
focused
on
addressing
traffic
speeds
and
parking
concerns
with
1020
miles
per
hour,
speed
limits
and
campaigns
such
as
show
you
care
park
elsewhere.
Over
a
number
of
years,
we've
been
reviewing
and
improving
parking
restrictions
outside
schools.
Officers
are
also
should
say
working
closely
with
even
a
Somerset
police
on
all
Road
Safety
matters,
including
speed
enforcement.
We
work
in
partnership
with
the
police
to
enforce
pavement
parking,
as
our
powers
are
limited,
where
there
are
no
formal
parking
restrictions.
R
Any
concerns,
particularly
where
there's
an
obstruction
should
be
raised
through
our
respective
websites
and
I.
Recognize
has
been
a
challenge
sometimes
there,
but
we'll
get
on
top
of
that.
I
sent
a
couple
of
emails
out
this
week,
so
they
can
be
considered
for
enforcement
and
varied
safety
intervention.
W
All
right
under
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
having
those
two
things
I
want
to
highlight
really.
Is
that
I've
spoken
to
our
local
police
officer
for
the
speed
walk,
because
obviously
I
can
see
very
clearly
in
the
streets
around
as
there
is
a
20-mile
zone.
It's
not
a
deer
at
all
and
cuz
the
streets
are
used
as
rat
runs,
it's
becoming
increasingly
more
dangerous.
So
we
took
the
challenge
as
a
community
to
try
and
get
ourselves
on
the
community
watch.
W
W
Work
I
wanted
to
highlight
it
towards
the
question
so,
given
that
we're
trying
to
address
problems
where
we
can,
what
can
we
do
as
a
community?
What
can
the
council
do
to
help
us
sort
these
poppins
out
these
problems
that
we're
coming
to
is
to
do
with
overcrowded
parking
in
the
streets?
It's
not
safe
for
my
children
to
walk
to
school,
it's
becoming
a
hazard
and
it's
only
going
to
be
four
times
a
child
or
pedestrian
is
seriously
injured.
W
R
Well,
well,
as
I
appreciate
you
recognizing
the
challenges
we
face,
which
we
want
to
go
to,
but
I'm
sure
I'd
have
I'd,
be
interested
to
talk
to
the
police
office.
Ourselves
can
I
just
check
it
as
you
can
they
just
take
the
microphone
back
as
you
become
as
your
interaction
with
that
police
officer?
Is
it
with
the
police
officer
and
council
officers
and
others,
or
is
it
just
with
the
police
officer
around
now
those
checks
we.
W
I
have
contacted
our
local
Bobby,
who
come
and
visitors
to
see
whether
we
could
undertake
a
speed
watch
he's
already
highlighted
because
they're
trying
to
do
on
on
Chromebook
road
and
they're
having
a
problem
to
do
it
there,
because
they
haven't,
got
enough
officers
to
train
them,
but
particularly
with
our
road.
He
said
there
isn't
a
clear
view
to
actually
undertake
a
speed.
Watch.
W
R
W
R
W
X
A
A
R
I
mean
it's
similar
to
what
we
said
before,
that
the
parking
schemes
residents
parking
schemes
were
introduced
in
will
be
introduced
where
there's
overwhelming
support
throughout
the
area
for
the
introduction
of
a
scheme,
the
process
of
introducing
new
schemes
will
be
owned
and
progressed
by
local
councillors
in
the
area,
which
is
a
principle
we
set
out
way
before
I
selected
that
it
has
to
be
that
absolute
local
ownership
and
driven
by
the
councillors.
So
a
document
has
been
circulated
to
councillors
interested
in
engaging
with
local
people
in
the
area
about
residents
parking
schemes
there.
R
It
gives
details
on
what
steps
councillors
need
to
undertake
before
the
council
is
able
to
consider
a
new
scheme
for
an
area.
What
I'm
hearing
is
that
some
people
seem
confused
or
unconvinced
by
that
document.
Let's
have
a
look
at
out
again,
if
that's
the
case,
officers
met
with
capsules
from
the
bishop
stern,
st.
Andrews
area
on
a
30th
of
November
to
address
queries.
R
They
had
about
the
process
I'm,
where
these
counselors
are
leading
on
the
proposal
to
introduce
of
residents
parking
scheme
in
this
area,
where
residents
believe
an
area
would
benefit
from
an
introduction
of
a
parking
scheme.
Again,
you
know,
will
work
with
that
process
and
the
counselors,
but
let
me
revisit
if
there's
a
concern
about
that,
that
process
and
understanding
what
the
criteria
is
for
demonstrating
the
level
of
support,
that's
required,
then
we
can
have
a
look
at
that.
I
just
asked
my
team
now.
A
X
A
supplementary
yeah,
thank
you
for
that
response.
I
guess
it
just
feels
as
though
we
are
going
round
around
in
circles.
We've
enlisted
help
the
police,
local
councillors.
We've
had
regular
meetings,
there's
a
consensus
for
you
not
only
amongst
trade,
most
residents,
but
Gloucester
Road
traders
that
we
should
have
extension
of
the
CP
said.
Could
you
give
me
three
actions
to
take
forward,
so
we
can
get
some
action
in
the
next
12
months
so
that
this
doesn't
keep
getting
kicked
into
the
long
grass
well.
R
I'll
take
action
myself
and
I'll
have
a
chat
with
with
Vorian
and
find
out
where,
where
the
process
is,
but
what
you
know,
what,
in
terms
of
demonstrating
everyone
with
support
of
it,
there's
a
lot
of
hand
gestures
going
on
there.
Councillor
English
may
be
wondering
you
know:
okay,
hye-young
got
puppet,
know
something:
okay,
so
no
I'll
chase
up
after
and
find
out
where
we
are
in
the
process.
R
A
A
Y
A
Moving
on
to
the
reports
to
be
considered
now,
please
can
I
remind
members
that
live
there
called
speak.
They
should
only
speak
for
three
minutes
and
in
terms
of
electronic
votes,
you
will
have
the
usual
15
seconds
to
vote.
Once
I've
asked
you
to
vote
so
can
I.
Please
call
Craig,
Cheney,
deputy
manager,
finance
governance
and
performance
to
introduce
the
report.
Thank.
Z
The
cabinet,
but
we're
highlighting
where's
the
highlighting
here
to
in
revenue
terms,
that's
about
750,000
paying
benefit
this
year
well,
which
will
at
least
help
us
with
the
continuing
escalating
cost
of
social
care
and
reducing
the
amount
of
forecast
over
spend
in
the
year.
But
this
does
r.e.m
precise
the
need
to
become
much
more
accurate
in
forecasting
capital
expenditure.
A
lesson
will
be
taken
into
the
budget
processes.
Once
we
improve
the
way
the
capital
program
was
put
together
last
year,
we
clearly
have
more
to
do
on
forecast.
Z
Then
something
I
know
is
raised
every
year,
but
with
our
new
team,
I
feel
confident
it's
enough
well,
crack
at
least
partially
also
know.
The
cash
balances
are
expected
to
fall
to
around
40
million
by
the
end
of
the
year,
which
is
the
minimum
deemed
prudent.
It's
also
worth
pointing
out
that
a
review
of
our
borrowing
has
shown
that
there
is
no
benefit
in
us
refinancing
this,
as
the
exit
costs
outweigh
any
potential
upside
beyond
that.
The
report
is
just
for
noting
and
I'm
pleased
to
present
it
to
you
today.
AA
Thank
you
old
man.
I
will
keep
this
very
short
sweet.
Just
a
few
comments,
the
treasury
management
defined
as
operating
a
treasury
management,
it's
defined
as
operating
in
a
balanced
budget
where
cash
raise
meets
expenditure.
The
last
administration
fell
well
short
of
this,
and
I'm
therefore
pleased
to
see
that
a
label
and
Bristol
administration
is
making
welcome
progress
under
the
leadership
of
the
mayor
and
council
Cheney.
AA
This
report
also
highlights
to
continue
an
impact
of
austerity
and
way
stagnation
on
living
standards
and
consumer
confidence,
which
no
doubt
will
be
covered
within
councilor,
Davis's
and
other
comment.
Colleagues
will
cover
the
motion
in
the
motion
debate
in
a
minute.
This
is
led
to
the
Bank
of
England
announced
in
the
recent
may
rise,
as
well
as
causing
the
council
to
need
to
borrow
more
Bristol
needs
to
continue
to
invest
wisely.
The
yield
on
the
council's
current
investment
is
worth
more
than
80
million
it's
four
times
higher
than
the
standard
comparator.
AA
AB
You,
my
old
man,
I,
wasn't
aware
that
you
actually
could
make
the
treasury
management
report
speeches
political,
but
it
seems
I'm,
learning
all
manner
of
things
today,
just
just
a
few
little
ones
actually,
because
it's
hid
noting
I
completely
concur
with
the
refinancing
obvious.
We're
not
gonna
make
a
return
on
it.
AB
So
I
think
that's
a
good
policy
on
it,
the
one
thing
and
we're
off
the
scan,
not
it
through,
because
it's
one
of
those
that's
already
been
to
audit
one
thing
that
did
have
some
slight
concerns
about
is:
when
we
talk
about
risk
assessments,
we
actually
put
two
risks.
Now:
you're
borrowing,
money
and
you're
vesting
money.
Can
we
only
come
up
with
two
as
I
came
up
with
a
couple
more
just
off.
AB
The
top
of
my
head
is
what
if
what
you
invest,
doesn't
make
the
return
to
allow
you
to
pay
for
the
borrowing,
but
actually
that
isn't
there,
there
isn't
any
mitigation
on
that
now.
I'm
sure
countless
ton
awful
lot
of
work,
but
from
a
public
scrutiny
point
of
view
from
an
audit
I
would
have
thought
that
that
risk
would
be
rather
large
in
there.
Obviously,
it's
one
of
those
things
where
you're
looking
at
all
we're
gonna
be
investing
another
100
million
over
the
next
year,
the
immediate
response,
something
from
any
councilors
Wow.
Well.
AB
What
is
that?
Because
there's
nothing
in
this
report.
It
doesn't
say
what
we're
spending
on,
but,
of
course,
that's
the
budget
fund
that
we'll
all
have
in
February
and
I
look
forward
to
the
shenanigans,
because
that
will
be
probably
political
at
that
point
in
the
meeting,
but
now
I
welcome
the
report.
It
seems
sound
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
I
do
think.
We
need
to
look
at
potential
little
more
creatively
on
risks
just
to
make
sure
we
are
dotting
the
is
and
crossing
the
t's,
but
I'm
farming.
The
report.
Thank
you.
My
honor.
G
Thank
you.
Lord
now,
within
the
Treasury
policy
is
the
environment.
Is
the
ethical
investment
policy
the
same
one
that
the
mayor
earlier
in
his
answer?
Counselor
calmly,
the
policy
is
full
of
good
stuff,
but
my
question
is
whether
the
council
follows
it
so
I
checked
and
looked
up
and
I
hope
you're
going
to
be
interested.
G
It
applies
to
both
investment
and
borrowing.
It
stops
us
with
dealing
with
organizations
that
do
dodgy
things
like
fraud,
corruption,
human
rights
violation
and
actually
officers
have
to
report
to
us
every
six
months,
including
today,
if
there's
any
breach.
So
there's
no
reports
that
presumably
there's
no
breach
but
I
wouldn't
want
my
labor
friends
with
egg
on
their
faces.
G
Royal
Bank
of
Scotland
seemed
the
worst
and,
of
course,
spread
the
shred
who
has
kicked
off
all
of
this
and
the
austerity
he's
due
for
trial
soon
and
what
about
borrowings?
Well,
we
have
some
long
term
borrowings
with
Royal
Bank
of
Scotland,
but
they
were
entered
in
before
we
realized
the
extent
of
their
dubious
dealings
and
I've
been
advised
by
the
Treasury
that
to
get
out
of
those
would
cost
about
55
million
of
Redemption
fees.
So
I
leave
that
to
the
mayor
to
decide.
G
If
that's
much
money
will
worth
doing,
maybe
we
could
do
a
deal
with
them
and
they
could
sponsor
a
station
in
our
underground
system.
Rbs
standing
for
I,
don't
know
Redland
Bishop
stern
station
or
the
station.
Perhaps
so.
I
jest,
of
course,
but
dealing
with
organisations
as
a
money
laundering
or
drugs,
money
or
death
or
all
of
those
is
not
funny
it
does
it
covers.
G
So
that's
pleased
to
hear,
but
that's
the
key
thing
is
whether
we're
following
it
and
from
what
I
can
see
we're
struggling.
But
it's
not
a
scandal.
Officers
have
just
taken
their
eye
off
the
ball
because
they're
too
busy
doing
other
things.
So
we
need
to
be
careful
that
if
we
are
selling
our
assets
on
our
land
do
not
only
do
we
say
we're
going
to
use
the
ethical
investment
policy,
but
we
actually
spend
time
and
effort.
Checking
that
we
do.
Thank
you.
AC
Thanks
good
news,
I'll
try
and
keep
this
short,
so
I
always
think
this
is
just
a
chance
to
highlight
areas
of
concern
really
in
a
public
domain
and
I
guess,
a
couple
of
things
I
would
just
raise
one
we've
talked
before,
which
is
the
Lobo
loans.
Obviously,
if
we
do
see,
arrays
are
rising
interest
rates.
AC
A
couple
of
those
banks
that
we
have
those
loans
might
try
to
use
their
power
to
increase
the
interest
rate
and
I'm
sure
your
yours
will
your
where,
as
anyone
in
the
chamber
that
you
basically
get
about,
maybe
six
hours
to
react
to
that
I'm,
basically
saying
no.
Actually
we
won't
do
that,
we'll
just
repaying
you,
the
loan.
AC
Obviously,
their
hope
would
be
that
we
wouldn't
have
the
reactions
fee
to
be
able
to
deal
with
it.
So
I
just
thought
I
would
raise
that
one,
because
I
think
here's
one
we've
raised
before
in
the
chamber
and
just
say
that
is
a
danger
if
we
see
an
increase
in
interest
rate,
so
at
the
moment
they're
relatively
low.
So
there's
there's
no
real
reason
for
them
to
try
on.
But
if
interest
rates
go
up,
banks
might
think
they
can
make
a
quick
back
on
the
hundred
million
pounds
additional
borrowing.
AC
AC
Like
seven
million
pounds
of
cuts,
you've
got
to
make
in
revenue
to
pay
for
the
hundred
million
pounds
in
borrowing
if
you're
going
to
pay
interest,
only
pay
it
back
over
sort
of
roughly
a
twenty
year
period.
So
just
sort
of
highlight
that
to
you
that
that
is,
you
know,
and
that's
probably
not
the
only
time,
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
borrow
a
substantial
amount.
So
if
we
can
prioritize
our
capital
program,
we
will
then
reduce
perhaps
some
of
the
pressures
on
our
revenue
program.
Thank
you.
Z
You
yeah,
so
the
points
on
on
wrists
and
Lobos
are
well
made
on
that
on
the
capital
program.
I
think
you're
right,
but
there
is
a
I
mean
there
is
a
point
now
where,
where
we
need
to
try
and
make
sure
that
we're
spending
money
that
actually
returns
some
money
to
the
council,
ideally
quickly,
so
that
that
cost
of
borrowing
doesn't
hit
us
as
heavily
as
it
could
otherwise,
on
the
scandal
or
not
scandal
of
investing
in
banks
or
leaving
our
cash
in
banks,
I'm
not
convinced,
there's
a
scandal.
Z
A
A
We
then
move
on
to
agenda
item
9.
The
motions
the
first
motion
is:
austerity
has
failed,
Bristol
needs
more
money
and
more
powers
can
I.
Please
ask
Mike
Davies
labor
to
move
the
motion,
and
this
is
his
maiden
speech
so
I'm
going
to
give
him
just
a
little
bit
of
latitude
if
he
runs
over
the
rest
of
you
no
way.
AD
Thank
you,
Lord
Mayor
and
I
stand
to
move
the
labor
motion
and
it's
good
to
be
able
to
make
my
maiden
speech
on
such
an
important
set
of
issues
now.
I
know
this
motion
might
just
seem
like
labor
going
on
about
austerity
again,
but
actually
we're
gonna
keep
going
on
about
it
and
we'll
keep
going
on
about
it
until
it's.
Finally,
over.
AD
Because
the
public
can
now
see
austerity
for
what
it
really
is
and
the
price
this
country
has
had
to
pay
for
the
sake
of
Tory
ideology.
The
government
would
like
us
to
think
it's
normal
to
have
our
national
debt
skyrocket
for
growth
and
productivity
to
stagnate,
for
average
incomes
to
flatline.
Well,
it's
not
normal,
and
it
didn't
have
to
be
this
way.
Austerity
was
an
excuse,
an
ideological
choice
to
shrink
the
state
while
cutting
taxes
for
the
wealthiest.
AD
The
human
costs
have
been
catastrophic.
Public
services
are
on
their
knees.
One
in
four
children
live
in
poverty.
Over
a
million
families
depend
on
food
banks,
homelessness
is
soared
and,
according
to
research
in
the
British
Medical
Journal
120,000
deaths
have
been
linked
to
Health
and
Social.
Care
cuts
all
this
for
the
sake
of
savings
that
never
actually
end
up
being
savings.
In
the
long
run,
the
effect
on
our
sector
has
been
disastrous.
Councils
would
have
had
their
core
funding
cut
by
nearly
80
percent
by
2020
compared
to
2010.
AD
AD
Now
these
challenges
don't
absolve
us
of
all
accountability
for
our
actions.
Our
administration
must
be
vigilant
in
ensuring
the
choices
we
make
a
grounded
in
our
values,
with
so
little
room
for
manoeuvre.
That's
far
from
easy,
however,
I
believe
our
record
so
far
demonstrates
the
difference
that
Labour
can
make
in
power.
We've
created
a
57
million
pound
fund
to
increase,
affordable
housing
on
private
developments
and
have
started
the
biggest
council
house
building
project
in
decades.
AD
Investment
in
early
years
is
central
to
social
mobility,
so
we've
made
sure
all
22
children's
centers
in
the
city
stay
open.
We're
exceeding
our
carbon
reduction
targets
in
tackling
air
pollution
to
keep
the
environment
top
of
our
agenda
and
we've
spearheaded
plans
for
major
infrastructure
schemes
and
are
making
progress
in
securing
investment
for
them.
We
welcome
some
of
what
was
in
the
Chancellor's
recent
budget,
although
it
was
more
notable
for
what
it
left
out
than
what
it
addressed,
but
considering
we're
the
only
city
outside
the
capital
to
be
a
net
contributor
to
the
Treasury.
AD
AD
A
AE
Austerity
is
the
application
of
accounting
principles
to
economics
where
they,
quite
frankly,
do
not
belong
the
lifelong
liberal,
John
Maynard,
Keynes
theory
and
Franklin
Delano
Roosevelt's
practice
proved
that
book-balancing
austerity
to
be
misguided
in
the
nineteen
thirties.
Yet
in
2010
the
Tories
chose
to
dogmatically
pursue
outdated,
classical
economics.
Amazingly
Lib
Dems
chose
to
ignore
the
liberal,
Keynes
and
support
the
Tories.
Soja
chancellors
told
us
in
2015
that
saw
in
2010
that
it
will
all
be
able
by
2015
the
books
will
be
a
balance.
AE
They
can't
be
running
nicely
and
it
wasn't,
and
then
they
told
us
it
would
all
be
okay
in
2020,
luckily
for
them
and
they
had
an
election
which
went
not
that
well
and
now
the
books
are
going
to
balance
by
2022
or
sometime
never,
and
it's
always
seems
to
be
five
years
in
the
future.
We
never
quite
get
there.
Do
we?
Austerity
doesn't
work
yet.
The
economically
illiterate
always
continue
to
pursue
the
elusive
goal
of
balanced
books
like
a
donkey,
walking
towards
a
carrot
hanging
from
a
stick
attached
to
its
own
head.
AE
Two
years
ago,
Martin
recommend
I
read
the
book
why
austerity
kills
by
David
stickler.
It
shows
that
austerity
isn't
just
misguided
that
kills
people
by
ruining
their
physical
and
mental
health.
It
increases
the
number
of
suicides,
as
well
as
hitting
our
institutions.
The
Financial
Times
called
the
book,
a
dramatic
study
and
for
emphasising
the
combined
consequences
of
ideological
obsessions
and
bureaucratic
thoughtlessness.
I
recommend
you
read
it.
Those
combined
consequences
might
be
academic
for
some,
but
they're,
very
real
for
people
living
in
wards
like
mine,
their
cuts
in
police
numbers.
AE
One
said:
pay
rises
for
those
working
in
the
public
sector.
The
bedroom
tax
benefits
cuts,
child
poverty
and
council
services
cut
because
they
force
us
to
do
it.
All.
These
are
more
the
result
of
Ettore
obsession
with
a
failed
economic
policy
and
a
Lib
Dem
rejection
of
Keynes.
Yet
the
Tory
barber
surgeon
carries
on
bleeding.
The
patient's
austerity
is
not
just
immoral,
though
that's
bad
enough,
but
it's
also
stupid
Britain
needs
a
government
to
end
it,
a
government
led
by
the
Jeremy
Corbyn
I.
Second,
the
motion
and
Merry
Christmas.
A
AF
You
Lord
Mayor,
the
Green
Party,
are
100%
behind
the
movement
to
stop
and
reverse
the
Conservative
government's
austerity
agenda.
So
we
will
be
supporting
this
motion.
However,
we've
submitted
an
amendment
because
we
think
that
the
Labour
motion
needs
to
be
much
bolder.
Councillor
Davies
great
speech.
However,
you
did
say:
there's
nothing
radical
about
what
I'm
asking
for
and
that's.
In
our
view,
the
problem
when
the
mayor
went
to
Westminster
in
the
autumn,
a
few
days
after
participating
in
the
anti
cuts
rally
here
in
Bristol.
AF
The
green
paper
he
took
with
him
was
contrary
to
the
some
of
the
spin,
not
a
treatise
on
reversing
the
cuts
at
all.
It
was
an
argument
for
investment
in
specific
infrastructure
projects
and
evolution,
while
those
aren't
a
bad
thing,
they're,
not
reversing
the
cuts,
and
even
this
painfully
polite,
not
ruffling.
Any
feathers
requests
that
was
taken
to
Westminster
was
completely
ignored
by
ministers.
AF
So
what
our
screens
and
the
wider
anti-austerity
movement
in
Bristol
have
been
calling
for
all
along
is
for
Marvin
to
properly
take
this
fight
to
Westminster,
to
tell
the
government
that
they've
gone
too
far
and
to
refuse
to
cooperate
until
they
compromise,
because,
while
Bristol
would
be
vulnerable,
I
agree.
If
we
did
this
alone,
labour
runs
10
of
the
11
largest
cities
in
the
UK.
So
if
we
all
acted
in
cooperation,
that
would
be
a
demand
that
the
government
would
be
unable
to
ignore.
AF
Now
that
softly-softly
approach
that
I
mentioned
that
the
mayor
prefers
has
been
demonstrated
to
achieve
nothing.
So
we
feel
that
our
calls
all
that
all
along
had
been
justified
and
the
to
act
on
them
is
now
this
amendment,
it's
pretty
straightforward.
It
just
asks
the
man
to
take
two
further
actions
on
top
of.
What's
in
there
at
the
moment,
one
to
work
with
the
other
labor
run
call
cities
too
loudly
and
actively
resist
austerity
through
non-cooperation.
AF
As
an
example,
in
Stroud,
labor
counselors
are
part
of
a
cross-party
cooperation
agreement
with
greens
and
the
Lib
Dems
to
run
the
council
and
they've
announced
that
they
will
refuse
to
pay
a
sum
of
just
under
half
a
million
that's
being
demanded
by
central
government
until
and
unless
the
government
stopped
the
switching
cuts.
If
labor
the
greens
and
the
Lib
Dems
can
cooperate
like
that
in
Stroud,
let's
do
it
in
Bristol.
The
second
thing
that
my
amendment
asks
is
that
the
mayor
seriously
considers
proposals
from
other
political
groups
to
his
budget.
AF
AF
All
of
them
were
vetoed,
though,
as
the
Labour
leadership
issued
a
three-line
whip
to
our
colleagues,
the
Labour
councillors,
who
were
told
they
had
to
vote
against
every
single
amendment
from
every
other
party,
and
now
the
mayor
has
sacked
the
green
cabinet
member
apparently
on
the
basis
of
greens,
engaging
in
political
points,
boring
well.
I
have
to
say
it
from
where
I'm
standing
it
looks
like
the
other
way
around
to
me.
We
in
good
faith,
submitted
budget
amendments
last
year
to
try
to
improve
the
budget
to
work
together
and
we
hope
to
do
the
same.
AF
AG
AG
Do
your
homework,
get
some
new
thoughts,
cane
trellis,
donat
economics,
the
fundamental
basis
of
society
and
the
way
we're
going
to
move
forward
is
not
based
on
financial
stuff.
We
need
monetary
reform
and
we
need
to
put
ecological
capital
at
the
basis
of
everything
we
do.
You
know
that
you
know
that
in
your
heart,
it's
not
about
arguing
about
how
much
money
we
can
get
from
Malaysia
or
how
much
we
can
get
the
government
to
perhaps
give
us
as
dregs
from
the
table.
AG
It's
a
fundamental
rethinking
the
way
we
do
stuff,
Molly,
Scott
Cato,
also
a
highly
qualified
economist,
and
you
need
to
take
notice
of
what
she
says
and
I'm
Pettifer,
not
a
member
of
the
Green
Party
as
far
as
I
know.
But
again
we
need
some
of
these
women
directing
what
we
do.
New
economic
foundation.
AG
You
said,
Marvin
you'd,
have
them
into
advisers
and
do
stuff
I've
not
seen
the
men
are
in
the
building
and
I
would
just
like
finally
to
say
that
some
of
these
thoughts
and
new
radical
ways
of
doing
stuff
need
to
be
in
the
one
city
plan:
I'm
not
seeing
them
there
I'm
seeing
the
same
old
things,
perhaps
packaged
up
slightly
differently.
But
please
can
we
have
some
radical
economic
thought
in
the
way
we
move
forward
towards
2050.
Thank
you.
AH
Thank
you,
my
lord
mayor.
Well,
thank
you
for
the
lesson
in
economics
from
our
Green
Party
friends.
I
knew
thank
you
Jews
I'm
delighted,
but
you
broad,
we
broadly
agree
on
the
economic
question.
However,
we
may
not
agree
on
the
political
question,
the
problem
with
this
amendment,
which
I
have
risen
to
oppose
it's
based
on
a
false
premise.
The
argument
has
been,
but
stroud
counsel
is
effectively
withholding
its
business
right
now.
AH
I
have
in
my
hand
a
document
from
the
leader
of
strata,
district
council,
counselor,
Steve
Lydon,
who
says
we
are
currently
exploring
ways
of
how
we
could
potentially
be
promised
payment
to
government.
This
is
the
revenue
support
payments.
We
are
not,
however,
withholding
business
rates
and
will
not
be
setting
an
illegal
budget.
The
latter,
of
course,
is
not
only
against
Labor
Party
policy.
I
would
also
hand
the
council
over
to
Tory
government
commissioners,
and
that
is
a
political
lesson.
AH
You
know
as
well
as
I
do,
but
we
would
be
an
example
to
the
rest
of
the
country.
We
would
have
a
Tory
Gump
commish's
in
like
flint.
They
would
be
seeking
to
cut
cut
and
cut
again
to
destroy
the
city.
We
love
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
we
have
a
Marion
cabinet
who
take
their
responsibilities
seriously,
who
are
working
to
mitigate
the
worst
effects
of
austerity,
and
what
we
really
need
is
for
genuine
cross-party
cooperation.
We
genuinely
need
more
meaningful
powers
for
our
cities
to
ensure
that
we
can
deliver
services.
AH
S
Having
taken
a
battering
from
the
mayor
earlier,
I
thought
I'd
come
back
for
more
in
this
debate,
but
but
if
I
can
start
first
rule
by
by
addressing
councillor
Davis's
speech,
I
have
to
say:
I
didn't
agree
with
very
much
of
what
he
had
to
say,
but
I
did
like
the
way
you
said
it
and
a
calm
and
reasoned
argument
and
I
hope.
We
may
hear
many
more
such
speeches,
but
it's
interesting
that
the
mayor
has
accused
opposition
parties
of
being
political
and
then
supports
a
motion
like
this
for
debate
confusingly.
S
The
proposer
slips
in
an
acknowledgement,
I
accept
very
half-hearted.
So
actually
some
of
the
Chancellor's
announcements
were
welcomed
and
then
lays
into
the
government
in
any
way
possible.
I
have
to
say
my
nor
mayor
I
find
it
disturbing.
The
Bristol
Labor
Party
is
following
the
Donald
Trump
policy
on
tanked
and
diplomacy.
S
Do
you
really
want
the
government
to
come
up
with
more
funding
if
so,
I
asked?
If
so,
is
this
the
way
to
go
about
it?
Why
would
any
government
minister
listen
to
our
calls
for
support
on
the
back
of
this?
No
you'd
rather
invoke
political
rhetoric
than
work
across
parties
to
secure
funding.
What
I
might
call
self-inflicted
austerity.
S
Now
I
wouldn't
choose
austerity
if
there
was
any
other
way
we're
trying
to
restore
a
balanced
and
stable
economy
after
Gordon
Brown's
economic
devastation
required
tough
measures
which
alistair
darling
started
to
instigate
in
the
economic
debate
that
were
having.
Perhaps
members
opposite
could
explain
to
me
why
it
is
a
country
can
spend
money
it
doesn't
earn
and
how
that
builds.
Long-Term
security
Norma
I'd
also
like
to
turn
to
Marvin,
who
I
think
is
showing
signs
of
emulating
George.
S
By
taking
any
critical
comment,
it's
politically
and
personally
motivated
I
promise
you
Marvin,
it's
not
marvin
is
the
only
mayor
we
have
for
the
next
two
and
a
half
years
and
nor
mayor,
like
most
members
here,
I
believe
we
want
to
help
to
achieve
the
very
best
outcomes
for
our
city.
I
will
never
agree
with
everything
you
say,
but
the
time
Marvin
was
elected.
I
could
support
much
of
what
you
aim
to
achieve
in
dealing
with
deprivation,
housing,
diversity
to
name
but
three.
S
But
every
day
since
my
long
mat
Marvin
is
moved
to
the
left
in
that
fraught
attempt
to
engage
with
those
that
will
Risa
lect
him
Marvin,
please
don't
lose.
Those
universally
appealing
policies
in
a
politically
motivated
dive
to
the
left,
mylord
merit
will
come
is
no
surprise
that
my
group
will
be
opposing
this
motion
and
the
green
amendment.
But
I
would
like
to
conclude
with
a
little
advice
for
Marvin,
though
I'm
sure
will
take
note,
Marvin
be
who
you
really
are
not?
Who
momentum
want
you
to
be?
Thank
you
all
that.
B
You
Lord
Mayor
I'm
in
favor
of
this
amendment,
because
it
does
two
things
which
I've
always
supported.
Firstly,
it
it
tries
to
be
as
cross-party
as
possible
by
by
talking
about
cooperation
with
other
groups
and
trying
to
find
ways
that
we
could
all
work
together
and
get
the
best
out
of
this
as
a
combined
effort,
but
secondly,
you've
actually
puts
a
bit
of
clout
behind
what
is
perhaps
a
noble
effort
to
make
to
make
a
political
point.
B
It
actually
tries
to
direct
some
sort
of
outcome,
some
sort
of
solution,
and,
frankly
many
of
the
motions,
particularly
the
more
political
ones
in
this
council-
have
always
avoided
that,
or
rather
not
contrived
to
to
achieve
that.
So
in
that
respect
are
I
very
much
for
it.
I
have
to
say
the
thing
that
sticks
my
throat
a
bit
is
the
prospect
to
do
doing
anything
illegal.
That's
not
what
any
of
us
are
here
to
do.
We've
just
got
to
try
and
batter
away
at
trying
to
do
at
the
very
best
we
can
within
the
system.
B
The
other
thing
I
would
say
about
this-
is
that
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
about
things
like
visions
and
manifestos,
things
that
actually
nail
people
down
to
a
particular
fairly
constrained
way
of
working
and
I
fear
that
what
I've
heard
today
and
I
have
to
say
mark
I'm,
afraid
your
history
is
not
so
good,
because
john
maynard
keynes
actually
reversed
his
his
earlier
decisions
later
in
life.
But
but
there
we
are.
B
That's
that's
what
we
confront
that.
The
fact
is
that
we
should
all
here,
I
think
we're
all
broadly
aiming
for
the
same
things
we
should
all
be
trying
to
to
move
and
pitch
then
that
the
boundaries
in
which
we
find
ourselves,
in
other
words,
be
pragmatic.
And
although
it's
been
usurped
several
times
this
evening,
I
started
off
by
being
a
radical
I
hope
to
goodness
I
still
am,
but
that
still
doesn't
stop
me
trying
to
find
the
best
solution
we
can
from
the
situation
we
find
ourselves
in
I.
A
A
AF
Excuse
me,
look
man.
What
may
excuse
me
the
most
of
our
group
voted
four
times
then,
because
the
buttons
kept
coming
back
up
as
flashing
again
the
vote
kept
being
reopened
and
reopened
and
reopened
in
reopen.
So
we
all
did
vote
the
first
time,
probably
the
second
time
in
the
third
time
as
well,
but
it
looks
like
26
people
haven't
managed
to
vote
the
fourth
time
because
it
kept
resetting.
So
could
I
ask
you
to
please
run
it
one
final
time
and.
T
S
A
AI
Firstly,
I
think
we
need
to
remember
a
little
bit
of
history
going
back
under
the
last
Labour
government.
There
was
a
crisis
I'm,
not
saying
it
was
all
their
fault,
but
it
was
a
major
major
crisis
that
the
country
was
actually
in
the
only
person
that
was
actually
given
warnings
about
the
borings
etc
was
a
certain
Vince
Cable
who
who
actually
was
ignored
by
the
Tories,
as
well
as
the
Liberal
Party
at
that
time,
and
if
he'd
been
listening
to
you
a
little
bit
earlier,
we
wouldn't
be
in
quite
such
a
mess.
AI
I
know,
I
actually
agree
with
Jeff
here
that
Alistair
Darling
did
act
responsibly
after
2008,
which
is
when
austerity
actually
started
the
trimming
back
in
spending.
It
pity
it
hadn't
started
a
little
earlier,
because
that
was
the
root
cause
of
one
of
the
problems.
I'd
also
like
to
say:
that's
a
law.
The
last
government
did
things
which
a
number
of
us
on
these
benches
didn't
like
all
that
much
the
invention
from
the
Labour
Party
on
some
of
this
is
quite
staggering.
AI
In
actual
fact,
some
of
the
the
redistribution
was
from
overall
some
of
the
highest-paid
down
to
some
of
the
lowest
paid
who
had
their
tax
reduced
with
the
increase
in
allowances.
Not
everything
was
perfect
and
I'm
sure
the
Tories
wouldn't
have
done
it
if
they'd
had
their
own
government
to
themselves,
but
that's
a
fact
of
it.
Actually,
what
happened
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
careful
when
we
start
throwing
around
the
accusations
about
austerity.
AI
The
fact
this
also
are
the
facts
wrong
in
the
initial
motion
which
talks
about
the
government
actually
imposing
the
changes
in
the
allowance
for
from
a
Bristol,
and
basically
that
was
actually
enacted
by
the
present
mayor,
he
accepted
a
deal
that
had
been
made,
an
offer
that
would
be
made
previously.
So
again,
you
know
it.
It
negates
what
actly
is
in
the
original
motion
now.
I
absolutely
agree
that
the
spending
cuts
have
gone
completely
too
far.
AI
That's
not
a
way
to
get
people
to
work
together
being
over
touchy,
as
the
mayor
very
often
is.
Two
suggestions
is
not
a
way
to
work
together
and
actly.
Inventing
things
which
didn't
really
happen
is
not
a
way
to
work
together.
So
we
do
have.
We
do
need
to
deliver
balanced
budgets.
We
do
need
to
be
responsible.
Yes,
a
lot
of
there
in
the
way
that
we
actually
spend,
but
let's
work
responsibly
together
to
make
certain
we
get
the
best
value.
What
money
directly
is?
Thank
you
very
much.
AJ
You
Lord
man
I
rise
to
second,
the
amendment.
First
of
all,
can
I
say:
congratulations
on
your
maiden
speech.
Sadly,
we're
a
little
bit
disappointed
by
the
content
of
the
motion.
You're,
probably
not
surprised,
to
hear
I
mean
we're
not
stupid.
We
can
see.
We
can
see
what
it's
about.
There's
some
others.
You
know
some
obviously
good
stuff
in
there
and
then
some
stuff
about
how
nasty
the
Lib
Dems
are
and
then
basically
you
want
us
to
vote
against
it.
AJ
Is
that
there's
only
ever
room
for
two
possible
opinions
on
pretty
much
anything
so
either
these
days,
your
form
or
bone-crushing
austerity
or
you're
in
favor
of
the
magic
money
tree,
there's
no
middle
way
anymore.
There's
no
sensible
economics
anymore,
which
is
a
real
shame,
because,
obviously
that's
where
we
see
it,
and
actually
it's
where
it's,
where
your
former
governments
that
quite
a
lot
of
the
time
you've
already
heard
about
how
Gordon,
Brown
and
Alistair
Darling
came
up
with
the
original
austerity
plan
which
closed
the
deficit
over
eight
years.
AJ
7/8
of
the
level
now
I
know
that
you
lot
of
pretty
much
totally
disowned
Tony
Blair
and
his
ten
years
in
power,
but
it
seems,
like
you,
you
know
disowned
in
Gordon,
Brown
and
Alistair
dialling
and
their
three
years
in
power
as
well,
including
when
they
famously
saved
the
world.
So
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
exactly
you
are
planning
that
the
government
should
have
done
instead.
AJ
Now,
from
the
very
start,
local
government
has
been
picked
on
unfairly
in
the
way
these
cuts
have
panned
out,
and
that
does
include
under
the
coalition
and
I
will
freely
accept
that
that
was
one
of
the
mistakes.
The
coalition
made
and
I.
Think,
probably
quite
a
lot
of
my
colleague
we'll
accept
that
as
well.
The
continuing
local
government
cuts
are
just
so
they're
just
spiteful
and
they
serve
no
useful
purpose.
AJ
Other
than
saving
jobs
in
Whitehall,
where
mandarins
in
charge
of
government
departments
refused
to
take
their
fair
share
of
the
cuts
that
are
necessary
and
prefer
to
send
them
out
to
local
government
where
london-based
civil
servants
don't
have
to
face
any
job
cuts
or
job
losses
or
or
financial
cuts.
We
are
against
that
unfairness.
We
have
always
been
against
that
unfairness.
Actually,
now
we
quite
like
the
green
amendment,
which
made
a
serious
point
about
budget
amendments.
We
vote
for
their
budget
amendments
the
last
budget.
AJ
We
hope
that
this
year
won't
see
the
voting
down
of
budgets
that
find
clever
money.
You
know
either
out
of
nowhere
or
out
of
sensible
places,
because
the
mayor
has
talked
a
lot
about
how
we
need
to
make
painful
decisions,
and
you
know
and
look
at
wherever
we
can
for
new
money.
So
this
year,
let's
not
vote
down
money
that
gets
found
and
doesn't
hurt
anyone,
let's
see
if
we
will
accept
the
historical,
correct
corrections
in
this
amendment.
Thank
you,
Lord
Mayor.
AK
Thank
you.
My
lord
man,
in
my
ill-spent
spare
time,
I
hold
a
professional
membership
of
the
Royal
economic
society
and
I
have
to
say
that
as
much
as
I
do
enjoy
economics,
lectures,
I
haven't
heard
anything
much
worth
listening
to
this
afternoon.
I
welcome
the
Lib
Dem
u-turn
on
austerity.
I
call
me
a
cynic,
but
I
suspect
that
they
wouldn't
feel
that
way
if
they
were
offered
a
couple
of
minor
ministerial
positions
in
a
second
coalition
government
with
the
Tories,
but
but
it's
always
good
to
have
you
on
board
Gary
supporting
labor
in
our
efforts.
AK
Nationally,
austerity
has
effectively
failed.
It's
a
bankrupt
economic
principle.
It's
been
rejected
by
former
IMF
chief
economists
and
Nobel
Prize
winners,
who
saw
that
it
didn't
work
and
they
said
it
doesn't
work
they've
written
books
about
why
it
doesn't
work.
Even
the
IMF
chief
internal
economists
have
written
papers
about
the
fact
that
doesn't
work,
although
sadly,
it's
still
being
implemented
on
Greece,
whose
economy
continues
to
be
crippled
as
a
result
of
that
and
I
love.
The
fact
that
the
Tories
talk
about
how
austerity
could
work
excuse
me
could
work.
In
fact,
mark
brain
was
wrong.
AK
The
date
has
been
pushed
back
by
the
office
for
budgetary
responsibility
to
2031
at
the
earliest
that
it
might
possibly
cause
the
budget
deficit
to
cease
to
exist
and
the
reason
it
won't
cease
to
exist
under
the
Tories.
Is
they
keep
cutting
taxes
for
the
very
wealthiest
and
for
big
corporations?
And
if
you
cut
the
tax
in
cake
intake,
it
never
catches
up
with
public
spending.
So
what
they're
doing
is
cutting
both
at
the
same
time
rather
than
one
or
the
other?
AB
All
right,
first
of
all,
cancer
Davis,
congratulations
from
each
chakra,
Mia,
I
I,
don't
support
it,
but
congratulations
Lib,
Dem
amendment!
It
is
better,
but
I've
still
have
problems
with
it.
Let's
go
through
this
because
I
find
this
quite
amusing.
It's
it's
the
history
lesson.
First
of
all,
the
taxes
cut
for
corporations
and
the
wealthiest
the
corporation
tax
has
been
cut.
The
corporation
tax
yield
has
gone
up
and
actually
it's
10
billion
higher
now
than
it
was
four
years
ago.
AB
So
we
cut
in
each
time
and
it
goes
up
the
reason
is
you
get
a
better
return
on
your
investment,
so
you
invest
more
that
the
pot
widens.
That's
fact,
let's
have
a
look
at
it.
The
top
10
percent
of
population
in
this
country
are
now
paying
59
percent
of
the
total
tax.
That
is
more
than
at
any
point
in
British
history,
including
when
you
run
the
economy,
we're
actually
taking
more
from
the
wealthiest
than
ever
before.
Let's
talk
to
austerity
accent,
I
love
this
one.
It's
it's
austerity!
We
should
just
spend
more
money.
AB
We
should
shape
that
magic
money
tree.
Well,
that's
works
so
well
in
Japan.
Hasn't
it!
Yes,
since
the
90s,
it's
been
a
case
of
well,
let's
have
a
less
of
a
look
at
this.
We
have
spending,
is
it's
being
contracted
by
a
bar
essence,
they're,
not
spending
as
much
the
government
can
step
in
and
will
keep
spending
more
money
and
GDP
is
now
230
percent,
a
debtor
percent
of
GDP
230
percent.
AB
It's
working
wonderfully
Keynes
doesn't
work,
it
doesn't
Friedman
Condon
wherever
you've
got
the
oh,
but
Cheney
boys
in
Milan,
they've
all
come
and
they've
all
extensively
written.
How
Keynesian
economics
doesn't
work,
it
didn't
actually
work
in
America.
If
you
assume
history,
that's
just
the
second
world
war
to
drag
America
after
the
recession,
on
that
one
and
I
provoked
trees,
whereas
something
else
and
I'm
sorry
the
illogicality
of
your
position,
where
you
seem
to
hate
any
cut
at
all
and
then
blame
us
for
not
cutting
fast
enough.
AB
What
you
wanted
it
reduced
in
four
years
and
you're
now
upset
that
it's
taking
longer,
which
would
you
like
your
cake
or
to
eat
it.
I've
heard
that
expression
before
and
it
normally
it's
derided
by
you
guys
on
this
one,
the
amendment
itself.
We
actually
agree
on
some
of
the
content.
We
do
I.
Think
I
agree
with
mark
right
here
on
this
I
think
local
government
has
taken
more
than
its
fair
share.
It's
actually
become
less
rosy.
AB
I
wrote
to
the
Chancellor
for
the
budget
to
make
that
exact
point,
because
we
do
actually
lobby
on
this.
We
actually
agree
on
things
like
the
house,
the
infrastructure
fund,
absolutely
if
we
can
help
in
any
way
that
applications
gone
in
it's
backed
by
to
conservative
councils
are
as
part
of
the
whacker
and
obviously
the
match.
Rumor.
Of
course
we
support
it.
We
can
have
that
conversation
next
week
on
how
we
can
help.
Do
that
not
a
problem.
You
don't
need
a
motion
to
do
that,
but
I'm
sorry.
When
you're.
AB
Looking
at
the
amendment
and
you're.
Looking
at
the
motion,
they
constantly
says
we
want
more
powers,
excellent,
great
idea,
absolute
powers,
absolutely
delightful,
but
which
powers?
How
are
you
going
to
use
them?
You
want
more
money,
brilliant,
but
where's
it
going
to
come
from
I
promise.
I'm
finishing
up
my
log
now
where's
going
to
come
from
the
mayor
tells
us
we
want
to
keep
things
like
libraries
open.
We
have
to
explain
where
the
money's
coming
from
well.
AB
Okay,
if
you
want
more
money
for
local
government
where's
that
gonna
come
from,
we
can
borrow
it
and
they
might
suppose
we
can
hand
the
bill
to
our
children
and
ask
them
to
pay
it
off
in
20
years.
That's
irresponsible,
I'm!
Sorry
we're
not
backing
the
amendment.
Nobody
no
sure
I'm
not
backing
the
motion
either
because
we
don't
support
it
at
all.
Thank
you
very
much
well,
on
there.
Y
Thank
you,
Lord
Mayor,
and
can
I
just
say
that
my
problem
with
this
amendment,
I
mean,
apart
from
the
fact
that
seems
to
be
almost
completely
pointless.
It's
the
fact
it
lies
in
the
bit
where
it
seems
to
put
forward
the
idea
that
there's
good
austerity
and
bad
austerity
and
that
the
Liberal
Democrats
do
good
austerity.
Only.
Y
Let
me
take
you
back
to
2012
I,
remember
working
for
life-cycle
local
cycling.
Charity
had
a
couple
of
projects,
one's
called
two's
company,
other
words
called
bike
minded
I'm
telling
you
that,
because
the
first
one
involves
people
with
visual
impairments,
the
second
one,
if
those
people
have
mental
health
difficulties,
I,
remember
quite
specifically
at
the
time
somebody
with
visual
impairment
getting
their
benefits
cut
because
they
were
not
visually
impaired.
Enough
I,
remember
quite
specifically
at
the
time
somebody
with
mental
health
issues
getting
their
benefits
cut
because
they
will
not
mentally
ill
enough.
Y
When
I
hear
the
Liberal
Democrats
tell
us
that
somehow
this
was
good
austerity.
I
say
to
you:
how
dare
you?
How
dare
you
this
is
an
absolute
disgrace?
It
demeans
people's
lives.
I
will
undoubtedly
be
opposing
this
amendment.
It
needs
to
be
consigned
to
the
scrapbook
of
a
history,
preferably
like
a
party,
but
we
put
it
forward.
Y
A
A
AB
D
AC
A
AL
Mayer
we
know
that
coffee
cups
cost
the
earth
and
we're
very
aware
of
the
various
problems.
I
think
anybody
who's
watched,
blue
planet
2
will
know
of
the
wonders
of
the
natural
world
and
also
the
dangers
that
are
posed
by
bottles
and
cups
which
are
just
thrown
away
in
this
particular
motion.
I
want
to
highlight
the
cardboard
cups
because
they
are
non-compostable
most
of
them
and
non
recyclable,
and
we
do
get
through
an
awful
lot
of
them.
So
it
is
a
huge
problem
and
it's
burgeoned
over
the
last
20
to
30
years.
AL
What
you
have
before
you
is
an
altered
motion
and
can
I
thank
the
Green
Party
for
amplifying
some
of
the
points,
keeping
it
focused
and
also
for
pointing
out
that
we
should
have
reusable
cups
for
sale
and
also
that
we
should
have
white
plastic.
Lids
can
I
also
thank
the
Labour
Party
because
they
have
brought
to
the
most
in
the
fact
that
we
should
be
working
nationally
and
locally.
I.
AL
I've
got
five
asks
and
I
think
they're
set
out
very
clearly
and
since
we're
pushing
for
time,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
it,
but
simply
to
say
that
they
are
all
achievable
and
they
are
asking
for
a
culture
change
now.
I
said
at
the
beginning.
We
were
very
aware
about
the
problems
and
we
are
when
we
think
about
it,
but
of
course
life
is
rust.
There
are
so
many
things
to
think
about.
AL
Therefore,
certain
circumstances
and
I
think
we
have
a
very
good
analogy
in
what
happens
with
plastic
bags
some
years
ago,
even
at
that
time,
many
of
them
were
recyclable,
but
very
few
of
them
were
actually
recycled
by
people
until
there
was
a
charge
and
then
that
changed
behavior,
so
just
to
finish
with
a
short
call
to
arms.
We
are
all
immensely
proud
of
the
BBC's
natural
history
unit
and
that
unit
is
spreading.
The
message
worldwide
so
surely
be
CC
could
support
them
in
this
way.
So
please
vote
for
the
motion.
AM
You
Lord
Mayor,
see
the
labor
labor
group
backs
the
altered
motion
I.
Think
it's
a
much
stronger
motion
now
than
the
original
one
that
we
we
saw
a
few
days
ago.
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
at
the
moment,
Bristol
City
Council
and
the
outlets
that
we
operate
were
in
a
marketplace
of
at
least
three
other
chains
that
give
people
a
discount
if
they
bring
in
their
own
cup
to
use
for
the
hot
drinks.
So,
regardless
of
what
happens
to
this
motion,
I
think,
obviously
it's
looks
like
it's
going
to
get
carried.
AM
We
should
we
should
consider
that
consider
doing
that
anyway
in
terms
of
living
charges.
Obviously,
that
would
have
to
be
included
in
new
contracts
for
any
any
operators,
so
we
might
not
be
able
to
do
that
straight
away
or
obviously,
if
we
bring
those
those
services
back
in-house
they'll
be
easier
to
do,
it
must
apply
to
specific
types
of
cups,
not
not
all
cups,
as
I
stated,
and
we
also
welcome
the
reference
to
the
work
that
Carrie
McAfee
and
Fang
of
debonair
are
doing
on
single-use
plastics
in
Parliament
at
the
moment.
AM
So
it's
on
that
basis.
We
support
it,
I've
had
a
few
messages
from
friends,
and
that
saying
you
know,
haven't
the
council
got
anything
more
important
to
discuss
and
paper
cups
but
I
think
they're,
wrong.
I
think
this
is
quite
an
important
debate,
but
I
think
is
important
that
we
focus
on
the
the
wider
environment,
environmental
impact
that
the
council
has
as
well,
because
this
is
just
one
specific
issue,
but
I
think
we
could
do
a
lot
more
in
many
other
areas
as
well.
It's
on
that
basis.
We
support
this
motion.
Thank
you.
AN
Yeah
I'm,
just
a
few
comments
of
support
really
from
our
group.
We're
gonna
support
this
notion.
Just
I
think
Claire
Campion
Smith
learned
a
lot
of
the
astounding
facts
and
figures
along
this
recycable
issues,
as
laid
out
in
the
actual
motion.
Oh
like
many
I've,
been
late,
late,
comer
to
this
sort
of
thing
with
the
environment
or
impacted
he
sort
of
cuts,
but
I
was
blown
away
to
find
out
that
one
in
four
hundred
cuts,
possibly
it's
the
very
small
amount
of
cups
that
might
actually
be
was
so-called
I.
Think
this
is
it
as
gracefully.
AN
We've
had
a
lot
of
sort
of
a
party
sort
of
politics
today
and
not
normally
the
sort
of
agreement,
but
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
few
things
we
can
agree
on
really
and
I.
Think
a
levee
would
go
a
long
way
to
encourage
people.
You
know
to
take
up
this
sort
of
thing.
Well,
you
can
see
it
visually
in
your
pocket.
Some
people
can't
see
the
effects
on
the
environment,
but
the
actual
video
visually
on
their
pocket.
You
might
see
that
so
I
spent
really
about
it.
AN
I'd
like
to
go
to
fully
compostable
cups,
where
possible,
I
think
beds,
where
I
think
they
put
a
statement
and
a
statement.
Today
there
are
good
company
offices
in
Bristol
and
in
Edinburgh
and
I
think
they
offer
all
the
same
products
as
Koster
and
all
the
big
chains
use,
but
they're,
not
poly.
It
sort
of
impregnate
your
platinum
card,
so
yeah
I
think
you
know
we're
behind
it.
AN
I
think
we
can
all
get
behind
it
and
I
know
know:
I'm,
learning,
constantly
learning,
I,
listen
to
the
greens
and
a
finger
out
with
the
with
the
war
campaigner,
things
that
so
I
think
these
small
things
are
the
sort
of
things
that
we
could.
We
can
actually
do.
If
you
know
I
mean
I
can
get
behind.

And
we
ought
to
be
giving
a
dishwasher
to
the
cafe
here
in
City
Hall.
They
can't
actually
deal
with
washable
cups.
Every
moment
they
weren't
equipped
with
a
dishwasher
there's
something
something
in
house.
We
can
do
to
set
an
example
and
well
that's
we're
putting
our
own
house
in
order
by
perhaps
having
a
levee
when
it
can
be
introduced.
Thank
you
for
pointing
that
out,
Kai
and
in
terms
of
the
external
requirements
on
businesses.
We
license.

That
would
be
a
push
in
the
right
direction
for
the
much
wider
economy
who
already
give
discounts
for
these
refillable
cups
and
so
on,
and,
as
so
often
is
the
case.
Local
government
can
achieve
things
even
when
central
government
isn't
taking
action
fast
enough,
and
there
have
been
a
lot
more
plans
in
the
pipeline
that
I
hope
you
are
going
to
pick
up
Kai
that
you've
inherited
from
phaz
work
on
plastics
they've
been
kind
of
just
dating
for
six
months.
