B
This
is
a
chamber
in
which
a
variety
of
opinions
and
views
about
issues
will
be
held
and
expressed,
and
rightly
so,
but
can
I,
please
just
remind
everyone
here
today
that
I
do
expect
that
everyone
will
behave
with
jus,
courtesy,
tolerance
and
respect
for
one
another's
views
and
will
conduct
themselves
in
a
reasonable
manner.
Thank
you.
B
A
B
B
B
C
Thank
you,
Lord
Mayor
and
I
can't
think
of
a
more
tragic
circumstance
in
which
to
be
addressing
the
council
and
in
requests
for
the
mayor.
I've
been
asked
to
give
a
an
update.
Now
you
should
be
receiving
regular
updates
from
the
from
the
department
and
I
would
say
if
anybody's
got
any
questions
that
they
cannot
be
in
address,
then
by
all
means
get
in
touch
with
myself
or
Alison
calmly.
Who
is
the
officer
who
is?
It
was
leading
our
response.
C
We
are
meeting
there's
an
officer's
meeting
every
week
and
my
cabinet
briefings,
which
every
Thursday
morning
have
also
got
time,
allocated
this
particular
issue
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
now.
Some
of
you
will
recognize
these
statistics.
We
have
59
Tara
blocks
within
Bristol
which
contain
about
4300
flats
and
which
are
the
home
to
around
about
10,000
people,
as
we
would
expect.
C
Things
like
sprinklers
in
bin
rooms,
improve
lighting
in
exit
areas.
So
we
feel
that
we're
in
a
reasonably
good
position
in
terms
of
the
general
position
within
our
blocks.
We
do
have
fires
in
our
blocks.
We
had
one
recently
in
in
Hart
cliff
where
the
fire
is
a
clad
block.
The
fire
did
not
escape
from
from
the
flat
and
that
to
be
the
experience
within
Bristol
when
we
have
had
fires
within
flats
of
our
59.
C
You
will
also
be
aware
that
it's
been
a
there's,
a
sort
of
a
running
total
on
the
BBC
and
other
news
sites
are
available
which
are
actually
listing
the
number
of
cladding
systems
which
have
failed
the
test.
The
last
I
saw
every
one
that
had
been
tested,
which
was
about
a
hundred
blocks,
had
failed.
All
of
those
are
the
aluminium
composite
or
some
form
of
aluminium
composite
material
which
we
do
not
have
within
within
Bristol,
so
in
terms
of
our
cladding
being
tested.
C
As
far
as
DC
LG
is
concerned,
we're
sort
of
at
the
back
of
the
queue
they
want
to
test
all
of
the
ones
which
have
the
cladding,
which
is
which
is
under
consideration
and
also,
obviously,
the
insulation
associated
with
it.
So
what
we
are
doing
now
is
we
are
liaison
with
the
Department
for
Communities
and
Local
Government,
bringing
in
a
authorized
independent
tester,
so
that
we
can
test
the
cladding
and
insulation
on
all
of
our
blocks,
rather
than
waiting
for
the
government
process
to
actually
complete
and
allow
us
to
come
in
into
the
system.
C
We
won't
miss
those
out
either.
As
you
know,
there
was
a
fire
in
one
in
Lawrence
Western
just
over
a
week
ago.
Again,
luckily,
that
fire
didn't
escape
the
flat
it
did
getting
onto
the
cloud
in
the
Chi
didn't
catch
fire,
but
two
bits
of
it
fell
off,
not
hitting
anybody.
So
we
are
taking
this
seriously.
We're
not
complacent
we're
not
saying
to
people.
There
is
absolutely
nothing
wrong.
What
we're
saying
is,
as
far
as
we
are
aware
at
the
moment,
all
the
information
we've
got
tells
us
that
there's
nothing
wrong.
C
Officers
are
being
told
to
do
daily
checks
on
fire
doors
on
cladding
and
everything
else,
to
make
sure
that
fire
doors
aren't
being
propped
open
or
or
can't
be
open
in
case
that
we
find,
in
some
places
that
they're
not
being
blocked
in
any
way
that
the
cladding
is
is
secure
because
we
have
had
people
who've
thought
is
really
good
idea
to
break
bits
off
and
set
fire
to
it.
So
we
have
had
some
damage
to
our
property,
which
obviously
we're
making
good
we're.
C
We're
aware
of
that
happening
and
I
can
give
you
the
assurance
that
you
know,
as
time
goes
on,
we
will.
You
will
receive
regular
updates
on
where
we're
at
within
the
city
and
as
I
say
again,
if
you
want
to
contact
myself
or
Allison
calmly,
will
happily
give
you
an
update.
So
thank
you
very
much
good
man.
B
A
B
Must
relate
specifically
to
the
business
for
which
this
meeting
has
been
arranged.
We
will
firstly
take
these.
These
statements
received.
Details
have
been
sent
to
the
mayor
and
all
the
counselors.
We
have
received
six
statements
about
agenda
item
6a,
the
Jubilee
pool
position
and
one
statement
about
agenda
item
nine.
The
response
to
the
bond
rate
review
I
will
work
through
these
in
the
orders
shown
when,
where
individuals
wish
to
present
their
petition
and
one
statement
about
agenda
nine.
Oh
sorry,
I
will
work
through
these
in
the
order
shown
where
individuals
wished
to
present
their
statements.
B
D
Is
more
accessible
than
hen,
Grove
pool?
Why
travel
to
Jubilee
pool
the
equalities
assessment
assumes
that
all
disabled
people
drive
many
of
us
as
a
result
of
our
disability?
Do
not
we
use
the
bus.
The
walk
from
the
bus
to
Jubilee
Paul
is
seven
minutes.
The
walk
from
the
bus
to
hen-
Grove
is
14,
seven
minutes
is
doable,
14
is
not
I
could
sorted
disabled
car
drivers
for
their
opinion,
hen
Grove
car
park
has
disabled
spaces.
It
is
true,
but
these
are
often
taken
by
other
drivers
who
are
not
disabled.
D
D
At
Jubilee
is
generally
easier
quicker
to
find
and
a
lot
less
stressful.
There
is
a
lack
of
disabled
car
parking
spaces
outside
DubLi
pool,
but
these
can
be
quickly
and
cheaply
remedied
with
a
tin
of
paint.
There
are
many
other
issues.
I
would
love
to
raise
with
you
about
why
Jubilee
is
moderate,
it
is
foot
accessible
with
a
ramp
and
stair
lift,
and
a
hoist
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
hen
Grove
these
facilities
are
often
not
available.
D
I'd,
also
like
to
point
out
that
Jubilee
pull
is
the
walnuts
Paul
in
Bristol
for
disabled
users
like
myself,
who
need
access
to
hot
water.
That
is
why
I
go
there
for
my
physiotherapy
exercises
and
have
done
for
over
four
years.
I
cannot
use
hen,
Grove
Paul.
If
you
close
it,
you
will
deny
me
access
to
a
disabled
pool.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Now.
E
I'm
the
chair
of
Friends,
of
Jubilee
pool
I'm
here
because
of
the
upset
that
was
caused
by
the
original
notice
to
close
Jubilee
pool
and
because
I
went
to
lots
of
meetings
and
helped
organize
the
local
campaign
which
collected
6,000
signatures
on
a
petition
I'm.
Nearly
62
I
used
the
pool
a
couple
of
times
a
week
for
my
exercise
and
physiotherapy
I
go
to
the
over
50
sessions,
which
are
always
well
attended
and
give
a
safe
swimming
environment
for
the
older
user.
I
used
to
run
and
play
football.
E
Not
not
really
it's
very
short,
yeah
I've
got
an
arthritic
hip
and
it
needs
to
be
supported
in
exercise.
So
there's
lots
of
other
swimmers
swimming
for
their
health,
and
the
sessions
are
ideal
there
and
there
because
the
water
is
warmer,
it's
easier
to
enter
the
pool
and
pengrove
is
not
easy
to
get
to,
particularly
from
Britain.
If
you
haven't
got
a
car,
a
lot
of
evidence
shows
that
exercise
drops
off
the
further
away.
You
are
from
anywhere,
so
a
lot
of
over
50
is
me
included,
are
going
to
have
difficulty
doing
their
exercise.
E
F
Thank
you.
It's
a
very
short
statement.
It's
less
than
one
side
of
a
form.
I
now
live
directly
opposite
Jubilee
pool,
but
I've
been
resident
in
South
Bristol
for
37
years
and
since
moving
here,
I've
not
considered
living
anywhere
else.
All
four
of
my
children
learned
to
swim
in
their
local
south
Bristol
pool
in
Jubilee
Road
Knoll,
South
Bristol
is
a
magnificent
and
thriving
community,
but
will
find
it
harder
than
many
other
areas
to
cope
with
the
cuts
being
imposed
and
for
this
reason,
self
Bristol
needs
all
the
support
it
can
get.
F
There
are
many
reasons
why
Jubilee
should
not
close
and
I
agree
with
them
all,
but
you'll
be
hearing
from
others
about
those
reasons.
I
want
to
concentrate
on
one
issue
which
surprised
me
during
the
campaign
to
keep
his
pool
open.
That
issue
is
the
transparency
in
decision-making
and
communications.
F
For
example,
the
closure
of
the
pool
only
came
into
public
domain
through
scrutiny
of
council
minutes.
There
appeared
to
have
been
no
public
consultation,
and,
even
today,
the
staff
at
the
pool
do
not
know
whether
the
pool
is
to
remain
open.
However,
it's
the
long
term
future
of
South
Bristol
pool
on
jubilee
Road.
That
concerns
me
the
most
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
the
pool,
and
there
are
many
people
who
could
help
with
its
future
if
they're
kept
informed
and
actively
engaged.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
I
don't
want
to
achieve
reports
about
the
blunder
report
really
and
about
the
use
of
public
money
and
a
few
points
videos
about
the
role
of
scrutiny
in
this
council.
There
are
commissions
that
work
extremely
well
like
place
which
have
attended.
Number
of
meetings
has
seen
the
way
they
drill
down
into
the
way
public
monies
spent
and
the
way
public
agencies
we
interact
with
Bristol
City
Council
in
the
West
of
England.
There
are
other
Commission's
that
absolutely
need
to
do
an
awful
lot
more
to
protect
public
money.
G
You
looking
at
Bristol
waste
company,
which
is
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
scurred.
This
council
and
I
still
find
it
hard
to
understand
how
exactly
that
companies
regulated
how
exactly
accounts
for
the
public
resources
it
has
from
the
council
and
how
it
says,
service
delivery.
We
need
to
be
absolutely
clear
about
the
public
money
that
comes
into
this
Authority,
while
their
direct
from
national
government
or
through
money
raised
by
the
City
Council
and
how
we
spend
it
I.
G
Absolutely
welcome
that
the
way
the
mayor
is
going
to
look
at
this
subject
and
Commission
reports
and
make
sure
the
council
needs
to
be
modernized.
We
do
need
to
see
much
more
frontline
service
delivery
and
less
back-office
the
council
still
in
our
opinions,
very
much
back-office
functions
and
not
enough
of
delivering
public
services.
So
this
report
is
absolutely
welcomed.
I
welcome
marv
interview
in
actually
trying
to
modernize
the
council.
It
may
take
a
few
years,
but
we
need
to
change
and
that's
apps.
G
He
said
essential
and
we
also
need
to
work
much
more
closely
and
how
we
bring
Wecker
in
ensuring
some
service
delivery.
But
it's
about
the
service
delivery,
the
scrutiny
and
how
we
make
sure
that
public
money
is
well
spent
and
those
come
security
commissions
are
absolutely
essential
that
they
look
at
that
in
the
way.
Parliament
apps
you
look
so
the
way
government
spends
money.
We
must
make
sure
that
public
money
is
absolutely
accountable
in
the
City
and
County
of
Bristol.
Thank
you
Lord
now.
Thank.
B
B
B
I
After
check
that
my
understanding
we're
running
any
qualities,
impact
assessments
on
all
the
and
all
the
options,
but
what
I
would
say
is
the
intention
was
not
to
close
the
pool
to
put
the
option
was
to
to
find
alternative
arrangements
simply
to
cut
subsidy,
but
the
pool
is
open.
This
is
what
the
city
has
been
clear,
that
the
ball
is
going
to
stay,
but
with
the
arrangements
with
part
word,
leisure,
so
I
would
have
thought
that
was
a
pretty
good
outcome.
I
No
formal
signatures,
no
that's
right.
Yeah
I
mean
to
cut
I'm
gonna
hand
over
trash
in
a
minute,
because
this
is
within
bashers,
but
the
conversations
are
underway
and
this
is
going
to
come
to
cover,
but
this
was
simply
about
the
subsidy.
Not
being
there
not
to
being
closed.
Can
I
can
I
make
some
space
for
that
little
make
I'll
make
some
space
for
actually
to
come
as
well.
J
Thank
you.
I
was
going
to
make
the
statement
later
on,
but
the
mayor
is
absolutely
rad.
There
was
never
any
intention
to
close
the
pool.
It
was
just
about
removing
the
subsidy,
so
I'm
gonna
make
my
statement
now
so
that
everybody
is
actually
clear
what
the
position
is
with
regards
to
Jubilee
pool.
So
my
colleague
councillor
Pierce,
has
been
undertaking
extensive
research
into
the
viability
and
demand
for
swimming
and
swimming
clubs.
Around
Bristol,
who
are
clamoring
for
more
access
to
pools,
demand
for
pool
time
is
unable
to
be
met
by
current
provision
across
Bristol.
J
It's
clear
demand
exceeds
supply.
Consequently,
it
would
be
right
to
question
where
the
recent
subsidies
to
pools
is
actually
necessary
and
could
be
given
to
other
services.
It's
perhaps
the
case
that
some
businesses
have
unfairly
benefited
from
the
Civic
purse
and
have
become
too
complacent
and
comfortable
in
the
knowledge
that
there
is
a
seemingly
secure
income
stream
headed
their
way.
A
further
consequence
that
can
be
drawn
from
this
is
that
other
deserving
organizations
and
much
loved
services
have
gone
without
or
been
withdrawn.
J
The
cabinet
will
be
taking
a
formal
decision
on
the
withdrawal
of
the
subsidy
from
Jubilee
pool
very
shortly,
but
what
I
can
say
is
that
ongoing
discussions
and
those
negotiations
with
the
service
provider
will
not
result
in
the
closure
of
the
pool,
even
though
it
may
suit
some
members
around
their
failed
campaign.
The
support
shown
by
the
local
community
and
those
of
you
here
today
just
confirms
the
high
demand
for
pool
space
and
time.
J
Finally,
I
would
like
to
remind
councillor
Hopkins
that
Speedwell
swimming
pool,
which
is
in
my
ward.
It
was
closed
to
the
public
in
2005,
despite
city
residents,
opposition
to
the
plans
and
campaigning
led
by
my
predecessor,
councillor
Ron,
stone
against
the
proposals,
and
you
made
the
decision
to
close
that
pool.
So
your
attempt
to
try
and
redeem
what
was
clearly
a
short-sighted
decision
at
that
time
is
nothing
short
of
hypocritical.
So
again,
the
pool
it
is
not
our
intention
that
plays
support.
J
I
Okay,
so
it's
about
equalities
impact
assessments,
I
mean
for
many
many
years
as
I've
been
working
in
Bristol
across
the
voluntee
sector
and
across
public
health.
We
want
improved
the
qualities,
impact
assessments
and
one
of
the
arguments
we
made
and
we
still
needed
to.
We
do
still
need
to
do
some
work
on
it,
but
the
efforts
are
being
made.
I.
E
I
H
H
I
I
mean
I
I'm
I'm
struggling
a
little
bit
here
to
be
honest
and
I
know
that
I'm
sure
that
we've
got
some
conductors
in
the
background
orchestrating
many
questions.
The
broad
question
here
is:
is
the
pool
gonna
stay
open?
The
pools,
gonna
stay
open
the
subsidy.
The
subsidy
will
not
be
there,
but
the
conversation
is
with
part
word,
leisure,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
pool,
that's
open
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
What
I
would
say
is
it
fits
within
a
broader
piece
of
work.
I
That's
going
on
and
right
across
the
city,
looking
at
all
sports
facilities
that
we've
got
councillor
coid,
leading
on
at
the
moment,
which
is
about
improving
access
and,
as
the
points
you've
made
about
mass
participation,
bring
in
world-class
sports
events
to
the
city
and
making
sure
talent
has
access
to
sports
facilities.
So
there
has
the
opportunity
to
develop
that
goes
across
track.
Sports
water,
sports
field,
sports,
combat
sports,
and
this
and
all
and
our
approach
to
are
opposed
to
swimming
on
our
assets
around
swimming
across
the
city
will
fit
within
that.
I
I
What
we
are
doing
in
the
city
is
looking
at
our
equality
impact
assessment
process,
as
I
started
to
say,
since
I
was
working
in
the
voluntary
sector
in
Bristol
and
across
public
health,
it's
been
a
real
commitment
and
a
priority
of
mine
to
make
sure
that
our
equality
impact
assessments
are
not
back-of-the-envelope.
Acts
exercises
that
come
off
the
decisions
are
being
made,
Bakshi
Drive
the
way
we
think.
I
Hence,
we've
made
a
big
commitment
on
inclusion
around
the
economy
around
politics
of
our
society
in
general,
so
we're
putting
this
in
place
if
some
of
the
machinery
around
equality
impact
assessments
is
not
as
as
robust
as
as
it
should
be,
we're
working
on
that,
but
that
would
be
something
that
we've
inherited
from
from
previous
times
as
well.
We
take
responsibility
for
what
we've
got,
but
we
but
we're
not
working
from
from
a
zero
base
here,
we're
working
with
the
material
till
we
had
and
we're
doing
our
best
with
that.
Mr.
H
Mehra
I
was
able
to
conduct
an
equalities
impact
statement
from
my
sitting-room
simply
from
data
available
freely
on
the
internet
and
from
council
records.
I
didn't
even
have
to
go
to
the
pool
to
cry
out
a
better
impact
assessment
than
one
of
your
officers
did
and
was
signed
off
by
a
manager.
Okay,.
I
H
I
E
E
Yeah,
okay,
the
the
first
question
is
answered
and
the
second
question,
as
far
as
I
can
see
from
I
heard
a
short
while
ago
is
you're
still
doing
that
and
therefore
there
isn't
the
business
plan
in
place
at
the
moment.
In
fact,
I've
put
my
supplemental
before
the
mayor's
actually
answer
the
question:
I
do
apologize,
but
there
you
go
thanks.
I
We
we
work
incredibly
hard
at
making
space
for
people
around
our
budgets
and
we're
doing
it
again
this
time,
getting
at
around
a
city
and
probably
doing
some
many
many
hours
out
sorts
of
people,
but
I
would
say,
I
I
think
there
is
something
that
we
need.
We
need
as
a
city
to
have
a
think
about
how
we
talk
about
exclusion
and
people
who
are
disengaged
I.
I
Think
there
are
many
groups
who
say:
they're
disengaged
when
actually
relatively
not
my
point
is
I,
think
is
that
also
all
people
in
Bristol
need
to
be
engaged
and
I
and
I'm
looking
particularly
at
particular
groups
as
well
I
mean
we
know
the
state
the
city.
Last
year
we
were
told
that
Bristol
is
the
worst
city
to
be
born
poor.
I
That
is
not
geographically
concentrated
in
some
areas
that
identify
as
being
marginalized
areas
actually
have
people
too
incredibly
affluent,
but
actually
poverty
is
something
that's
dotted
all
around
the
city
from
Avram
after
launch
Western,
to
serve
me
to
Lotte
least
and
in
in
South
Bristol
as
well.
So
it's
not
weighted
in
any
particular
area
where
the
seventh
worst
city
to
be
blacken.
We
have
a
really
rich,
is
an
embarrassment
on
an
on
a
national
stage
for
us
as
well.
F
I
I
said
anyone's
free
to
have
copies
of
the
contract.
If
they're
not
if
they're
commercially
restricted,
then
we
won't
be
able
to
if
they're
commercially
available.
If
it's
not
commercially
restricted,
then
you'll
be
free
to
have
copies.
I'm,
not
sure
I
mean
our
gonna
have
to
check
with
our
web
team,
whether
we'd
actually
go
to
the
extent
of
putting
them
on
the
website.
I
mean
I,
don't
you
know
we
could
send
those
to
you?
Did
you
want
the
whole
city
to
see
them,
or
do
you
just
want
to
see
them
yourself?
What.
F
I
F
I
F
I
F
It's
interesting
that
you
should
say
that,
because
one
of
our
big
difficulties
and
part
of
the
reason
we're
here
this
evening
is,
though
we
haven't
been
able
to
get
throughout
throughout
this
period,
where
we
heard
that
the
pool
was
going
to
close,
and
certainly
by
reading
the
council
minutes
where
it
was
listed
on
the
council
minutes
as
closure
of
Jubilee
Hall,
and
by
looking
at
the
impact
assessment,
which
was
labeled
closure
of
Jubilee
Paul.
The.
F
Okay,
well
I'm,
coming
I'm
coming
to
the
question
is
that
we
have
been
through
this
process
unable
to
talk
to
Parkwood.
We
have
tried,
they
have
not
come
back
to
us.
We've
been
unable
to
talk
to
anyone
at
the
council.
We've
not
had
a
reply.
So
can
you
tell
us
please
how
we
can
get
the
information
from
Parkwood
if
they
don't
reply
to
us?
Well,.
I
As
a
organization,
obviously
I
can't
account
for
that
I
I
would
expect
them
to
respond
them.
Certainly,
when
we
talk
about
partners
coming
into
the
city
to
work
with
us
for
the
people
at
Bristol,
we
expect
them
to
conduct
themselves
in
appropriate
way.
So
we
can
send
them
a
little
note
and
say
that
we
expect
them
to
actually
talk
to.
We
talk
to
people
and
work
with
them.
What
will
them
I'll
make
sure
that
happens?
Thank
you.
No
problem.
F
A
I
B
We're
now
going
to
remove
we're
now
going
to
move
to
the
two
reports
on
today's
agenda
about
petitions
that
have
reached
the
three
and
a
half
or
more
signature
threshold
that
entitles
the
petition
organizer
to
request
a
full
counsel
debate.
So,
therefore,
the
next
item
is
the
SAV
Jubilee
Poole
petition,
just
just
to
be
clear
about
the
procedure
for
this
item.
20
minutes
is
the
time
allocation
allowed
for
the
debate.
The
petition
organizer
is
councillor
Hopkins,
who
has
advised
us
that
Nicholas
Skinner
will
present
the
petition
on
his
behalf.
B
B
K
Can
you
hear
me
while
I
must
say
this
has
been
as
confusing
as
we
have
found
the
entire
process
of
finding
out
about
the
swimming
pool?
And
it's
being
quite
disappointing
sitting
here?
I
spent
a
huge
amount
of
time
and
months
of
campaigning,
I've
written
a
5-minute
statement
and
I
wrote
it
when
I
believed
that
there
was
no
official
confirmation
that
the
pool
will
remain
open.
K
I
have
a
feeling
that
I
will
read
the
statement
and
the
response
would
be
well
the
pools
going
to
remain
open,
which
is
fine,
but
that
doesn't
mean
anything
because
in
five
years
time,
I
have
a
feeling
we'll
be
here
again
because
five
years
ago
the
pool
was
threatened
with
closure
and
I
will
confirm
that
the
pool
was
threatened
with
the
closure.
Despite
what
you
have
said,
it
was
in
the
meetings
and
our
councillor.
K
As
you
may
know,
in
February
this
year
this
council
announced
that
Jubilee
subsidy
would
be
cut
and
the
pool
was
threatened
with
closure,
thanks
to
a
local
campaign
to
oppose
the
closure
and
a
petition
with
over
6,000
signatures
with
thrilled
Bristol
City
Council
has
agreed
to
five
year
contract
with
park
code,
leisure
for
the
pool
to
remain
open,
and
we
can't
wait
to
see
that
contract.
We're
relieved
and
thankful
that
this
vital
community
space
will
remain
open.
But
questions
need
to
be
asked.
K
There
should
never
have
been
any
doubt
about
keeping
it
open,
so
we're
here
for
two
reasons.
Firstly,
to
demonstrate
how
vital
that
pool
is
for
South
Bristol's
happiness,
success
and
well-being
and
secondly,
to
seek
a
renewed
pledge
from
the
council
to
protect
the
city's
health
through
accessible,
long-term
and
sustainable
swimming
for
all.
Firstly,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
vulnerable
people,
children
in
South
Bristol,
who
love
Jubilee,
pool
people
like
Lewis,
a
young
man
with
Down's
Lily,
is
his
carer
at
Brandon
trust.
K
Lewis
has
swum
at
Han
grave
pool
before,
but
got
very
distressed
by
the
noise.
The
building
is
much
larger
there,
so
the
acoustics
can
be
overwhelming,
but
Jubilee
pool
is
perfect
for
Lewis
and
the
many
other
young
adults
like
him
as
its
small
enough
for
him
to
feel
safe
and
he
swims
there
currently
three
times
a
week.
K
Lily
says
that
after
he,
swims
Lewis
is
happier
calmer
and
more
settled
than
usual,
and
if
the
pool
ever
closes,
Lewis
would
be
extremely
distressed
about
returning
to
a
large
multiplex
leisure
facility,
which
simply
isn't
right
for
his
needs.
I
spoke
to
mr.
Roberts,
the
sports
leader
for
elminster
primary
school
in
Norwest,
which
teaches
some
of
the
most
deprived
children
in
South
Bristol.
K
Currently,
he
takes
50
children
a
week
to
the
pool
for
a
45-minute
lesson,
but
if
Jubilee
pool
were
to
ever
close,
they
would
have
to
go
to
Han
Grove
pool
and
they
would
pay
the
price.
The
longer
journey
and
longer
walk
between
the
car
park
would
slash
their
lessons
from
45
minutes
to
just
15
minutes
in
the
pool.
Now,
if
any
of
you
here
today
have
children
who
are
learning
to
swim,
would
you
be
confident
that
a
15
minute
swim
would
be
enough?
Jay
Mohr
wouldn't
say
so,
and
she
should
know.
K
Jo
is
a
teacher
wholly
Meade
primary
school
in
Britain?
Currently
wholly
me,
children
have
been
swimming
at
Jubilee
pool
and
they
have
been
for
30
years.
Joe
takes
90
children
a
week
and
she
also
runs
an
early
morning.
Swimming
Club
there
in
2012,
when
Jubilee
pool
was
refurbished
and
the
children
went
to
hang
grave.
She
said
it
was
noticeable
how
their
development
as
swimmers
slowed
down.
She
says:
Jubilee
is
great
for
her
swimmers
because
the
school
can
have
the
pool
to
itself
thanks
to
its
smaller
size,
which
is
vital
for
water
confidence.
K
Three
of
Jays
swimming
clubs
are
represented
Bristol
at
this
month's
national
primary
school
relay
finals,
if
Jubilee
pool
were
to
close
J
would
have
to
stop
running
the
swimming
club
as
the
journey
tan
Grove
is
too
far
for
the
working
parents
who
take
their
kids
there.
So
those
budding
Bristolian
athletes
who
experienced
the
success,
self-esteem
and
camaraderie
of
sports
would
be
robbed
of
that
experience
and
where
you
might
be
asking
did
I
speak
to
Lilly
mr.
K
Roberts
and
J
Moore
I
spoke
to
them
at
the
pool,
because
it's
a
place
where
you
can
catch
someone's
eye
and
connect
conversations
take
place
in
the
shallow
ends
of
the
lanes.
People
can
stand
and
chat
to
their
neighbor.
Friendships
are
built
and
communities
connect,
and
there
aren't
many
places
where
that
happens
nowadays.
In
other
words,
the
very
thing
about
the
pool
that
an
outsider
might
consider
a
defect
such
as
its
humble
size,
is
in
fact,
what
makes
it
so
special,
it's
accessible,
it's
friendly.
K
It's
part
of
the
fabric
that
makes
up
the
better
parts
of
our
day.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
Jubilee
pool
isn't
just
a
local
swimming
pool.
It's
so
much
more
than
that.
It
offers
us
a
place
to
learn
to
connect
to
succeed,
to
find
happiness.
People
find
peace,
their
people
heal
there
it's
our
home
from
home,
and
we
feel
as
if
it
belongs
to
us
n,
Grove
pulled
as
a
fantastic
job
for
a
demographic
of
people
with
their
own
transport
and
without
extra
needs,
and
it
cannot
serve
an
entire
community.
K
Jubilee
pool
is
not
just
an
add-on
to
hing
grave.
It
offers
a
unique
experience
that
hen
Grove
cannot
and
it
plays
a
huge
part
in
keeping
South
Bristol
happy
and
healthy.
It
helps
our
children,
including
my
six-year-old
daughter,
who
is
here
today
to
realize
their
potential.
Please
don't
take
that
away
from
them.
I
know
the
pool
is
safe
for
now,
and
the
people
of
South
Bristol
can
use
it
for
the
next
five
years,
but
time
moves
fast,
and
it
is
your
responsibility
to
work.
B
I
I'm
not
saying
is
to
say
that
they
do
what
the
statement
you
made
is
not
excellent
and
real
I'm.
Just
saying
there
was
a
context
to
it,
and
one
of
the
things
I've
been
asking
people
to
to
work
with
us
on
is
that
no
decision
is
made
in
an
abstract.
We
I'm
lobbied
every
day
by
I
got
lobbied
every
day
by
some
artists
saying
we
change
lives.
You
know
you
must
preserve
the
Arts
I'll
get
lobbied
on
food
programs,
school
crossing
patrols,
everything
every
everything
is
absolutely
important.
I
So
all
I'm,
saying
to
that
is
I
recognize
the
validity
of
all
those
cases.
I
do
not
deny
the
validity
of
your
case.
All
I'm
saying
is
that
the
reality
facing
local
government
at
the
moment
is
we
have
a
shrinking
financial
base
with
a
growing
population
increasingly
complex
need.
We
have
an
adult
social
care
crisis,
a
growing
younger
people's
our
population.
We
need
to
in
be
investing
in
young
people's
mental
health,
which
I
know
some
income
and
physical
activity
is
a
part
of
that
support
in
our
schools.
All
these
things
are
going
on.
I
At
the
same
time,
your
case
is
valid,
but
the
agony
is
about
being
in
leadership
at
the
moment.
Is
that
we
we
face
difficult
decisions.
Having
said
that,
you
are
right,
I
am
gonna,
say
the
pool
is
open
with
debate
in
a
pool.
That's
going
to
stay
open,
I
can
talk
about
the
process
as
well
and
I've
sought.
Clarity
on
you
know
a
clarity
on
this
as
well.
I
So
let
me
just
say
there
was
some
confusion
over
the
headlines
when
the
papers
were
first
released
by
the
time
the
budget
was
put
out
in
February
and
I
would
imagine
all
the
cancers,
including
councillor
Hopkins,
read
this
budget.
It
did
not
say
the
pool
was
going
to
be
closed.
It
said
that
the
subsidy
was
going
to
become
well
I've,
got
it
right
in
front
of
me
here.
I
Well,
it
says
it
on
the
budget
appendix
six,
all
right.
What
appendix
six
it
says
it's
just
the
subsidy.
So
we
can.
We
can
have
another
look
but
I'm,
right
and
and
I
love
the
fact
I
get
emails
from
people
working
in
the
same
building
to
mean
it
can
always
actually
come
and
see
me
as
well,
and
actually
what
I
have
done
on
a
number
of
press
releases
shared
that
the
pool
was
going
to
be
open
over
the
time
so
I
I,
you
know
what
I
can
do
is
acknowledge
that
there
was.
I
There
was
an
error.
There
acknowledge
the
absolute
validity
of
your
case.
I
want
physical
activity
absolutely
but
say
also
that
sometimes
I'm
not
saying
it's
in
this
instance,
but
I
am
saying
that
sometimes
for
political
points,
people
will
make
take
advantage
of
errors
made
in
an
organization
or
unfortunate
situations,
and
they
get
worked
up
to
the
point
where
they
become
major
debase
when
actually
we
just
want
to
get
on
with
people
to
make
stuff
happen
from,
but
we're
with
you,
we
want
to
support
the
pool.
L
L
So,
first
of
all,
please
be
something
here
today
on
behalf
the
conservative
group
I
actually
live,
probably
within
two
minutes:
walk
of
jubilee
Paul,
something
that's
used
by
my
four
children,
my
wife
and
I,
on
a
regular
basis,
so
I'm
delighted
to
have
the
confirmation
tonight
that
it
will
be
staying
open.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
and
congratulate
all
the
petitioners
for
getting
so
many
signatures.
It's
you
know
from
personal
experience.
It's
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
It's
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
ours
has
been
dedicated
to
this.
I
signed
the
petition.
L
L
It
highlights
to
me
an
issue
that,
obviously
it
must
be
important
to
have
so
many
signatures,
and
it
so
clearly
must
have
an
ear
and
impact
on
the
community,
not
just
from
Noland
business
and
West,
but
the
residents
that
Steve
James
mine
represent
in
stock
wood
and
other
parts
of
sort
of
wit,
church
and
ingrowth,
where
the
pool
is
on
a
direct
bus
route,
dr.
boardwalk
and
also
neighbors
all
members
and
offices.
L
By
having
this
debate
to
better
understand
the
issues
regarding
gee,
will
he
pull
so
last
Saturday
I
sat
down
to
put
a
few
thoughts
together
as
to
what
I
was
going
to
say
today
when
the
South
mr.
voice
landed
through
my
door,
then,
on
page
six,
an
article
on
jublee
pull
with
my
handsome
face
in
the
photograph.
L
And
the
head
link
and
then
and
the
headline
read-
do
bleep
all
safe,
but
it
was
never
at
risk,
says
Craig
I
was
obviously
surprised
by
that
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
problem
here
is
one
of
perception.
It's
one
of
the
transparencies
one
of
communication.
If
it
never
happens,
then
let's
submit
to
that
error
and
correct
it,
but
by
having
it
meander
on
from
several
months,
it's
caused
many
people
in
the
city
to
believe
that
the
pool
was
closed.
L
L
But
the
same
denied,
hey,
what's
going
on
and
returning
to
the
petition
and
the
petitioners.
Thank
you
again
for
highlighting
the
potential
loss
of
a
much
loved
and
essential
community
assets.
You've
made
it
very
clear
what
you
think
of
the
paperwork
that
you've
seen
so
I'm
not
going
to
comment
on
that
any
further.
L
Now
I
hope.
We
can
very
quickly
move
forward
to
confirm
the
future
and
thank
you
for
your
comments
and
it's
staying.
Sorry.
It
was
never
going
to
close
or
it
will
keep
on
running
after
September,
but
until
the
contract
is
signed,
I
would
like
to
know
we'll
just
wait
for
the
the
ink
to
dry
but
they're.
Also
in
disaster.
We
did
talk
about
how
the
labor
members
knew
that
there
was
going
to
be
the
one-off
payment
and
they've
already
been
congratulating
Clara
Craig
for
saving
the
pool,
but
there
was
never
going
to
close
faking.
A
A
M
M
Sorry
can
you
hear
me
now
shall
I
start
again?
Oh
yes,
I
will
so.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
congratulate
local
campaigns
for
their
highly
successful
local
campaign.
To
get
over
6,000
signatures
on
a
petition
is
bloody,
good.
Well,
I'm
agreeing
of
the
Tory's
helped
me
any
debt.
It
demonstrates
that
it
demonstrates
the
depth
of
support.
What
is
clearly
a
hugely
valued
local
resource.
I
asked
a
local
resident
in
green.
What
he
thought
about
do
bleep
Oh
and
his
response
sums
it
all
up
better
than
I.
M
Can
he
said,
taking
a
decision
to
close
the
pool
or
narrow
purely
financial
grounds
is
not
an
acceptor
approach.
Locally
available
services
and
facilities
like
Jubilee
pool,
have
a
value
to
our
community
and
wider
society.
Well
beyond
money.
If
we
are
to
become
a
low-carbon
city,
a
more
equal
City,
a
more
resilient
and
Liverpool
city
and
a
healthier
City,
for
instance,
we
need
to
be
roundly
assessing
the
value
of
local
facilities,
not
only
in
fine
short
terms,
but
also
in
broader
social,
environmental
terms.
M
We
don't
know
what
the
total
impact
of
the
loss
of
Jubilee
would
be
because
we
aren't
assessing
everything
properly.
Despite
this,
there
was
a
clear
possibility
of
the
pool.
Will
close.
This
would
not
be
a
fair
decision
or
a
sustainable
approach
to
the
issue
at
all.
To
me,
the
case
for
a
local
community
based
resources
is
clear
and
a
swing
pool
is
just
such
a
resource.
M
Now,
we've
heard
today
and
I've
been
told
that
a
pool
was
never
under
threat
and
I
guess
I
believe
that
to
be
true,
I
would
point
out,
however,
that
the
line
in
the
budget
quite
clearly
mentions
closing
Jubilee
pool,
as
did
the
equalities
impact
assessment.
If
I
were
a
local
resident,
I
would
be
at
best
suspicious,
either
way.
This
well-organized
petition
needs
to
be
the
final
nail
in
any
pool
closure
coffin.
Anyway,
that's
all
in
the
past.
M
Looking
forward,
I
was
going
to
say,
then
if
the
eyes
are
dotted
and
the
T's
are
crossed
on
saving
the
pool,
then
all
well
and
good,
but
it
seems
that
they're
not
crossed
or
dotted
or
whatever
so
I
asked
Marvin
and
the
labour
group,
please
get
it
sorted
for
the
sake
of
all
these
people,
for
both
the
short
and
a
long
term.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
In
the
cabinet
papers
in
the
kacct
of
a
cabinet
said
floors,
jubilee
pool
the
papers
to
the
full
council,
said
clause
to
bleep
pool
the
hatchet
job
for
page
hatchet
job
that
masqueraded
as
any
qualities
impact
assessment,
and
that
was
particularly
disgraceful
in
my
view,
said
clause
jubilee
pool
local
residents
are
not
stupid,
they
can
read
and
they've
reacted
very
properly
to
what
was
at
what
decisions
rightly
passed.
I
actually
offered
the
mayor
the
opportunity
to
distance
himself
from
that
equalities
impact
assessment
I
some
months
ago,
but
he
failed
to
take
that
opportunity.
O
I
regarded
qualities.
Impact
assessments
as
very
important
documents
on
the
debt
and
the
devaluing
of
them
in
this
case
is
an
extremely
serious
side.
Point.
Two
months
ago
a
Parkwood
agreed
to
work
with
no
subsidy.
They
spoke
to
me
about
this
and
at
the
time
they
said,
the
council
are
not
asking
for
anything
else,
in
particular
just
now
to
froster
work
without
subsidy
and
the
main
reason
they
agreed
to
that
when
they've
been
skeptical
before,
despite
investment
in
the
new
gym
a
few
years
ago,
they've
been
skeptical
before
was
the
huge
local
campaign.
O
If
you've
got
six
thousand
people
signing
a
petition
saying
how
important
your
facility
is
that
give
them
more
confidence
that
it
could
be
made
to
pay,
and
we
also
agreed
a
marketing
plan
with
them
that
we
would
help
to
speak
to
all
those
6,000
people
to
encourage
them
to
use
the
pool.
Unfortunately,
that's
been
stopped
for
the
moment
because
of
the
indecision
from
the
council,
we're
now
here
through
rumor
through
liberal
members,
that
there
is
a
now
moving
potential
moving.
O
Of
course,
we
don't
know
exactly
what
they
are,
but
we're
told
now
that's
the
as
a
possibility.
The
part
where
they're
going
to
be
asked
to
take
on
some
of
the
responsibilities
of
the
building
I
also
checked
with
Parkwood.
Yesterday,
no
agreement
had
been
reached
and
no
deal
has
actually
been
signed.
So
I
think
that
now,
because
of
a
appalling
communication
and
misdirection,
this
council
is
in
a
position
where
it's
absolutely
agreed
that
the
pool
cannot
close,
but
it
is
not
signed
off
a
contract
with
the
contractor.
O
J
That
our
negotiations
with
you
will
appreciate
that
our
negotiations
with
Parkwood
leisure
are
commercially
sensitive
at
this
moment
in
time
and
we
are
bringing
those
to
a
conclusion.
But,
as
I've
said
before,
we
are
looking
at
the
pool.
Staying
open
with
the
removal
of
the
full
subsidy
I
need
to
kind
of
make
a
point
about
the
papers,
what
they
said
and
what
they
didn't
say.
J
And
yes,
sometimes
mistakes
were
made
because
I
know
that
in
the
original
strategy
corporate
strategy
dock
document,
it
does
say
in
the
first
line,
clothes
jubilee
pool
and
then
after
that
it
says,
remove
the
subsidy.
So
there's
no
denial
it's
in
on
black
and
wine.
But
when
we
came
to
full
council
the
budget
proposals
in
appendix
6
page
26
clearly
stated
that
we
were
proposing
to
remove
the
subsidy,
and
this
was
passed
and
agreed
by
full
council.
Councillor.
J
The
point
that
I
want
to
the
other
point
that
I
want
to
make
the
point
I
want
to
make
the
point
I
want
to
continue
to
make
is
that
we
corrected
that
statement.
As
I
said
before
in
my
earlier
statement,
the
support
from
you,
the
community,
in
trying
to
save
Jubilee
Poole,
has
to
be
commended.
I
am
a
supporter
of
community
action
and
it
clearly
showed
by
the
numbers
of
signatures
to
the
petition.
How
much
you
love
and
value
your
pool,
but
one
of
the
things
like
I
will
say
quite
clearly
is
Gary.
J
You
also
agreed
to
the
closure
of
Phil
woods
swimming
pool,
which
I
understand
was
a
much
newer
pool
to
the
Jubilee
one
and
despite
the
protestations
of
communities
there,
you
and
the
administration
at
that
time
decided
to
oversee
and
agree
the
closure
of
that
pool.
So
all
like
that,
can
you
I'd
like
to
kind
of
just.
P
J
A
O
Man,
I
think
that
it's
just
been
demonstrated
I
think
it's
just
been
demonstrated
who
is
fit
for
office
in
this
chamber
and
who
is
not,
and
quite
frankly
that
was
a
disgraceful
performance.
The
attempt
to
tell
all
the
residents
who've
worked
very
hard
on
a
campaign
with
me
not
for
me
have
exactly
very,
very
patronizing
and
I.
Would
the
red
herring
and
the
the
proof
is
there
in
the
council
papers.
My.
B
The
point
is
now
be
mid.
You've
made
your
point.
Thank
you
right.
I
now
now
everyone
has
spoken.
I
now
ask
the
County
Council
to
note
that
the
issues
raised
in
the
petition,
together
with
the
comments
of
members
during
the
debate
at
this
meeting,
will
now
be
referred
to
the
mayor
in
order
that
he
can
consider
his
response.
I
I'm
suggesting
I
could
put
it
in
writing
to
you
about
where
we
are
on
the
board
and
it
was
on.
The
Tate
is
on
the
chart.
Just
now,
we'll
probably
just
copy
a
bit
at
the
information
we
had
as
well
and
make
sure
that
you
know
the
full
sequence
of
events
as
they
happened
right,
but
I
appreciate
your
work.
Thank
you.
I
hear
the
strength
in
the
validity
of
your
case,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
all
people
have
access
to
world-class
sports
facility,
so
we
have
a
healthier
population.
So
thank
you.
B
We
move
on
now
to
agenda
item
6b
the
Scotland
Lane
petition,
as
is
indicated
in
your
agenda
pack.
This
petition
regarding
ongoing
flooding
issues
at
Scotland,
Lane
Stockwood,
has
reached
the
signature
threshold
to
qualify
for
a
full
council
debate.
The
petition
organiser
councillor
Morris
has
advised
that,
since
a
funding
application
regarding
this
matter
has
been
submitted
to
the
Department
of
Transport,
he
wishes
at
this
stage
to
formally
present
the
petition,
but
not
to
request
a
debate
at
today's
meeting.
Please
therefore
can
I
call
on
councillor
Morris
to
present
the
petition.
L
L
So
that's
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
seven
signatures
collected
in
just
about
nine
weeks,
we
stopped
collecting
on
the
31st
of
March
and
the
petition
reads.
We
the
undersigned,
call
upon
the
mayor
to
instruct
council
offices
to
find
a
solution
to
the
regular
and
enduring
flooding
of
Scotland
Lane,
a
major
commuter
link
between
stock
hood
and
breathing
ttan,
aside
from
the
huge
inconvenience
caused
to
local
people
arising
from
the
closure
of
this
route,
the
annual
cost
of
cleaning
and
reopening
this
road.
L
L
B
Thank
you.
Please
therefore,
can
I
ask
for
counsel
no,
this
petition.
At
this
stage
we
now
move
on
to
agenda
item
7,
Bristol,
City,
Youth,
Council
manifesto
I'm,
very
pleased
that
we
are
going
to
again
receive
a
presentation
from
the
Youth
Council
representatives
on
their
manifesto
and
priorities
for
the
year
ahead.
The
manifesto
document
is
included
in
your
agenda
pack.
Please
can
I
ask
our
youth
council
representatives
to
present
their
manifesto
to
full
council.
S
Lord
Mayor
in
the
city
councillors,
I'm
hannah
gardner,
I'm
the
elected
chairperson
for
Bristol,
City,
Youth,
Council
and
I'm
here
with
representatives
from
each
of
our
campaign
groups
and
also
with
Jack
Payne
one
of
our
youth
mayors
and
with
Matt
Simpson
who's.
One
of
our
members
for
Youth
Parliament
for
Bristol
and
I
just
have
to
pick
a
background.
S
This
February,
the
Bristol
youth
vote,
was
held
across
Bristol,
where
40%
of
11
to
18
year
olds
voted
all
of
us
in
on
our
personal
manifestos,
which
we
believe
gives
us
a
really
strong
mandate
to
carry
out
what
we
want
to
do
as
a
Youth
Council.
We're
now
also
joined
by
five
co-opted
members
from
equalities
groups
across
Bristol
to
ensure
that
we
are
a
representative
body.
S
We
have
four
campaigns
this
year,
which
we
believe
gonna
make
a
really
a
real
and
tangible
difference
to
our
Bristol
youth,
and
we
want
to
look
to
see
how
we
can
work
with
the
City
Council's
priorities
to
strengthen
the
impact
of
what
we
can
do
as
a
Youth
Council
in
our
next
two
terms
of
office.
So
I'd
like
to
pass
it
on
to
our
first
campaign
group,
young
and
equal
with
Mario
and
Evie.
T
U
T
We
would
like
to
we
would
like
everyone
here,
to
help
us
to
create
a
city
reduced
of
discrimination
and
for
schools
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
discrimination
looks
like.
We
feel
that
people
who
go
to
school
should
know
the
valuable
life
skill
of
treating
others.
How
you
would
like
to
be
treated
in.
U
T
T
V
Hi
I'm
Evan
e
over
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
young
people
took
part
in
this
year's
Bristol
UFO,
representing
a
40
percent
turnout
of
11
to
18
year
olds
living
in
Bristol.
This
shows
a
willingness
to
engage
politically,
and
we
also
ensure
that
Bristol
City
Youth
Council
continues
to
be
seen
as
a
point
of
contact
for
Bristol's
young
people.
Our
campaign
targets
are
to
work
with
rife
to
release
a
be
cyc
broadcast,
promoting
what
we
do
and
explaining
the
campaigns
of
the
Youth
Council
in
October
2017.
V
We
will
be
running
a
Youth
Conference
during
national
democracy
week
today
to
discuss
political
engagement
and
the
issues
facing
our
city's
young
people.
We
would
like
to
reach
out
to
youth
groups
explaining
the
work
of
the
Youth
Council
and
making
sure
we
are
approachable
and
represent
their
views
and
ideas
at
the
Youth
Conference.
We
aim
to
engage
young
people
in
politics
and
help
people
to
have
a
better
understanding.
The
youth
conference
will
be
held
on
the
12th
of
October.
We
are
inviting
a
number
of
students
from
all
the
secondary
schools
in
Bristol.
V
We
hope
to
invite
some
guests
onto
a
panel
to
talk
about
the
young
people
there.
We
hope
to
have
a
debate
in
the
chamber.
After
being
elected
to
the
Bristol
City
Youth
Council,
we
want
to
feedback
to
the
young
people
that
voted
for
us.
We
feel
the
most
effective
way
for
us
to
do.
This
is
to
make
a
short
video
which
can
be
shown
to
students
during
future
time
in
school.
We
believe
this
would
be
effective
as
it
allows
all
young
people
that
voted
to
see
it,
and
it
is
easy
for
schools
to
use.
V
We
want
our
video
to
cover
the
following
topics:
the
current
roles
of
the
Youth
Council,
who
was
elected
and
in
which
area
our
campaigns
for
the
year
ahead.
This
video
is
important
to
us
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
turn
to
those
who
voted
for
us
and
we
need
to
know
their
opinion
for
them
to
be
able
to
have
a
strong
relationship
with
us
and
to
be
able
to
voice
their
concerns.
They
need
to
know
who
we
are
and
what
we
have
already.
V
This
is
especially
important
for
young
people
who
don't
have
any
be
cyc
representatives
at
their
school
or
our
school
did
not,
though,
in
the
elections,
these
people
are
likely
to
be
unaware
of
BC
UIC,
and
we
need
to
ensure
young
people
in
Bristol
know
who
we
are
and
what
we
are
doing.
I
will
now
pass
on
the
Hannah
from
the
education
for
Life
campaign
group.
W
Hi
I'm,
Hannah
and
I'm
from
the
education
for
Life
campaign
team.
Our
campaign
is
based
around
the
belief
that
the
modern
psht
curriculum
needs
to
be
updated
suit.
The
modern
needs
of
young
people.
At
the
time
we
made
the
education
for
life
manifesto.
We
weren't
aware
of
the
council's
work
around
PSHE
since
meeting
with
Julie
Cole
tired
from
healthy
schools.
We
are
going
to
work
with
her
to
achieve
our
goals.
These
goals
might
be
different
due
to
us
finding
out
about
the
council's
work
on
PSHE.
W
These
goals
include
a
survey
teacher
training,
resource
packs
and
create
center
workshops
surveys.
We
will
create
a
survey
to
send
that
school
still
collect
young
people's
opinions
on
what
to
include
and
improve
in
the
PSHE
curriculum.
We
will
then
use
this
feedback
to
help
our
other
goals.
This
show
this
survey
should
be
out
by
the
end
of
the
academic
year
teacher
training.
We
would
like
to
work
with
organizations
like
Tiger
and
integrate
UK
to
come
up
with
the
psht
curriculum
program
for
teachers
that
uses
an
up-to-date
curriculum.
W
Our
goal
is
to
implement
one
or
two
days
of
training
for
one
teacher
in
each
school
across
Bristol,
so
that
they
are
equipped
with
the
right
knowledge
and
skills
to
feel
more
comfortable,
enthusiastic
in
teaching
subjects
like
FGM
and
consent.
To
achieve
this,
we
will
start
to
build
a
database
of
contacts
in
schools
and
organizations.
We
aim
to
have
the
program
completed
by
September
2018
resource
packs.
We
plan
on
creating
resource
packs
for
teachers
to
help
them
deliver
engaging
and
insightful
psht
lessons.
W
We
work
with
organizations
like
broken
mentality,
provide
specialist
information
and
help
design
the
resources.
These
resources
will
include
things
like
interactive,
interactive
activities,
discussion,
questions
and
videos
to
open
up
discussion.
These
packs
will
be
aimed
to
help
by
January
2018,
create
Center
workshops.
The
create
Center
workshop
was
an
off-duty
that
made
a
lasting
positive
impact
on
our
lives.
We
aim
to
work
with
the
great
center
to
make
similar
sessions
for
Key
Stage
four
students
and
these
sessions
will
be
on
subjects
like
drugs,
mental
health
and
partying.
P
Hi
We're
from
the
war
next
campaign,
and
one
of
our
main
focuses-
is
work
experience.
We
are
aware
that
the
mayor's
one
of
the
most
policies
is
also
to
improve
work
experience
which
we
hope
we
can
also
do.
We
also.
We
are
aware
of
several
issues
that
we
have
many
students
around
Bristol
has
faced,
such
as
finding
useful
work
experience
with
people
having
trouble
finding
the
work
experience
in
the
first
place.
P
We
also
have
some
schools
who
don't
even
do
work
experience,
which
is
an
important
part
of
the
education,
but
also
some
countries
can't
do
it
all
in
one
week
which
schools
prefer,
for
example,
off-the-record
can
only
do
one
session
per
week.
We
also
want
work
experience
for
all
students,
both
GCSE
and
a-level,
to
have
more
work
experience
for
the
youth
to
get
a
better
experience
of
work.
We
also
want
to
make
this
show.
Yes,
I
can
return
from
work
experience,
so
they
learn
something
or
actually
experience
work,
rather
than
just
going
there
and
doing
nothing.
X
So
yeah
I'm,
Eddie
and
I'm
gonna
talk
to
you
a
bit
about
what
our
goals
are
for
the
next
few
years,
so
the
what
next
campaign
is
our
way
of
helping
to
improve
work
experience
throughout
Bristol,
and
that
is
something
that
falls
in
line
with
what
the
mayor
intends
to
do
as
well.
Firstly,
we
want
to
connect
students
and
providers
of
work
experience
together
in
a
way
that
is
better
for
both
parties.
X
We
are
already
working
with
the
Bristol
learning
city
partnership
works
project,
who
are
also
an
association
with
the
council,
with
an
aim
to
improve
the
link
between
providers
and
participants
of
work
experience
and
through
their
new
website.
We
hope
to
work
closely
with
them
over
the
next
few
years.
We
also
want
to
increase
the
number
of
work
experience
placements
that
are
offered
and
to
make
sure
that
everyone
in
our
city
has
access
to
equally
important
and
beneficial
experience.
X
Similarly,
we
want
to
make
work
experience
more
accessible
to
those
who
have
been
without
it
in
the
past.
To
achieve
this,
we
will
be
working
with
the
lips
listening
partnership,
disability
forum,
one
of
our
quads
equality
groups,
in
the
hope
that
placements
can
be
filled
by
much
more
diverse
pool
of
seekers
in
the
near
future.
Also,
we
believe
that
we
need
to
improve
the
situation
post
placement
so
that
people
can
know
exactly
what
they
can
do
with
the
experience
that
they
have
acquired.
X
Y
Good
afternoon
I
am
matt
simpson,
as
well
as
being
part
of
the
youth
voice
campaign
team
on
the
Youth
Council
I'm.
Also
one
of
two
members
of
Youth
Parliament
here
in
Bristol
myself
and
the
other,
my
P
Fenton
Yeatman,
have
our
own
personal
campaigns,
which,
as
Hanna,
said
they're
linked
into
the
Youth
Council.
Well,
you've
can't
destroy
supports
our
campaigns,
but
they're
not
completely
linked
in
our
campaigns.
This
year
happen
to
be
exactly
the
same
as
the
national
UK
Youth
Parliament
campaigns.
Y
Y
Our
aims
for
the
campaign
are
to
lobby
MPs
and
the
mayor
to
support
our
campaigns
to
pass
a
motion:
frutos
council,
making
Bristol
unofficial,
support
efforts
at
16
and
to
push
and
promote
political
education
in
schools.
So,
if
16
and
17
year
olds
are
given
to
vote,
they
can
make
an
informed
choice
and
educated
choice
over
who
they
want
to
vote.
For.
Our
second
campaign
is
on
the
curriculum
for
life.
We
believe
there
are
lots
of
important
topics
which
currently
aren't
covered
in
schools
such
as
politics,
personal
finance
and
mental
health,
just
to
name
some.
Y
Y
Finally,
we'd
like
to
champion
it
becoming
compulsory
at
a
national
scale,
and
we
would
also
like
to
work
with
the
education
for
life
team
from
the
Youth
Council
on
our
campaigns.
Now,
of
course,
we
will
also
support
other
UK
Youth
Parliament
members
once
our
campaigns
for
the
next
year,
I
decided
after
make
your
mark
the
UK
youth
final,
it's
national
vote,
but
you'll
be
happening
in
October.
Thank
you.
Oh.
Z
Hello,
I'm
Jack,
Payne
I'm,
one
of
two
prestige
mares.
Unfortunately,
the
other
Mary
Vulcan
couldn't
make
it
tonight,
so
we
were
both
elected
as
youth
mares
in
February
2017,
as
well
as
trumpeting.
The
Youth
Council
manifesto
we
have
decided
to
campaign
on
removing
the
stigma
surrounding
mental
health,
including
a
focus
on
male
mental
health
men's
have
is
a
topic.
Both
of
us
feel
passionate
about
mental
health
affects
everybody,
as
everyone
is
searching
for
the
perfect
mental
well-being
for
males
cultural
pressures
have
created
a
stigmatized
image
of
a
21st
century
man.
Z
Suicide
is
the
biggest
killer
of
men
aged
18
to
40
years
olds.
This
sadistic
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
both
want
to
help
challenge
these
stereotypes.
Another
priority,
it's
political
education,
so
there
be
kind
of
a
better
kinder
democracy,
with
an
emphasis
on
increasing
the
number
of
young
people
register
vote
for
the
upcoming
local
elections
in
2020.
The
youth
mayor's
would
like
to
see
more
young
people
engaged
in
politics
by
supporting
both
16
and
encouraging
16
year
olds
and
over
to
register
to
vote.
We
both
want
to
walk.
S
I
know
that
Martin
James
has
also
contacted
a
couple
of
you
about
meeting
your
local
youth
counselors
in
your
ward
and
I
know
that
some
productive
conversations
have
already
taken
place
with
that
link,
so
I
invite
any
of
the
rest
of
you
to
also
make
those
links
with
your
youth,
counselors
and
just
yeah.
I.
Just
can't
have
a
chat
to
us
and
see
what
we
can
do
together.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we'd
love
to
answer
it,
but
other
than
that.
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
such
a
clear
and
well
considered
manifesto
and
I'm
sure
we
would
all
like
to
receive
report
back
from
you
later
this
year,
so
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
assess
progress
against
your
priorities.
I'm
now
going
to
ask
councillor
Godwin
to
respond
on
behalf
of
the
labor
group.
Thank.
Q
Q
Participation
in
the
Youth
Council
elections
in
February
was
higher
than
ever
before,
reaching
40%
of
all
11
to
18
year-olds,
and
it
is
brilliant
to
see
youth
counselors
from
across
the
city
from
her
needs
to
her
fields
and
South
Mita
Stockwood,
representing
young
people.
The
issues
you
are
covering
as
youth
mayor's
talking
to
the
UK
Youth
Parliament
and
within
your
manifesto,
are
so
relevant
to
bristol's
young
people
and
in
many
ways
reflect
the
priorities
of
the
mayor
and
this
administration,
but
even
more
important
than
that.
Q
We
are
all
passionate
about
preparing
our
young
people
for
citizenship
through
a
curriculum
for
life
and
a
revised
provision
of
phsc
that
better
reflects
the
lives
of
real
young
people,
a
city
free
from
discrimination.
Education
is
so
important
to
make
our
city
free
from
discrimination,
bullying,
prejudice
and
hate
crime.
Young
people
can
lead
the
way
for
all
of
us
in
showing
Bristol
to
be
a
United
City.
Where
everyone
is
treated
with
respect,
we
will
gladly
help
you
in
creating
a
network
of
influence
who
can
help
you
to
take
your
plans
forward.
Q
We
will
help
you
to
make
that
youth
voice
as
loud
as
possible,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
our
youth
are
Youth.
Services
providers
are
engaged
and
supportive
as
we
do
this.
We
also
need
to
ensure
you
have
a
voice
in
decisions
that
are
made
here
in
the
council
and
we
challenge
and
challenge
our
decision-making
and
the
impact
it
has
on
young
people.
Q
Owen
and
Eddie
have
highlighted
some
of
the
clear
issues
with
the
current
work.
Experience
schemes
and
I
know
that
the
works
program
at
the
Bristol
learning
city
partnership
is
already
addressing
some
of
your
key
concerns.
We
have
to
ensure
work.
Experience
is
relevant,
inclusive
and
accessible
for
all
children
across
Bristol,
including
those
with
specific
or
complex
needs,
and
our
most
vulnerable
young
people
watch
this
space
for
requests
for
your
help
on
this
counselors
and
youth
counselors.
Q
To
sum
up,
the
strength
of
your
manifesto
and
how
you
have
presented
to
us
today
demonstrates
how
well
we
represented
the
young
people
of
Bristol
are
and
how
we
must,
as
counselors
and
Albert
acid
administration
commit
to
supporting
you,
sharing
resources
networks
and
as
a
results,
the
progress
that
we
make.
Thank
you.
AA
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
echo
everything
councillor
Godwin
has
said
around
the
very
mature
way
that
this
manifesto
has
been
presented.
I
just
like
to
commend
you
all
for
an
excellently
thought-out
manifesto.
It's
not
all
about
what
I
want.
You
know
what
suits
my
patch
is
really
an
inclusive
manifesto
and
I.
AA
Some
of
that
information
I'd
also
like
to
express
my
great
thanks
to
the
council
members
that
I've
already
met
to
talk
about
work
experience
and
it
was
great
to
have
them,
have
a
look
at
the
prototype
websites
for
the
works
project
to
get
their
input,
and
it
was
just
really
helped
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
again
if
I
turn
around.
You
can't
hear
me.
AA
So
it's
a
bit
odd
and
I
just
like
to
echo
that
support
that
we
have
around
phsc
I,
think
it's
really
important
that
we
listen
to
young
people
about
what
they
want
to
learn
about,
not
with
what
we
think
they
should
learn
about
and
I
think
it
was
just.
It
was
great
here.
They
want
to
hear
about
financial
planning;
they
want
to
hear
about
mental
health.
They
want
to
include
people
with
disabilities
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
conference
that
they're
having
on
political
engagement
as
well.
AA
So
from
my
party,
we
just
want
to
say
a
fantastic
manifesto,
fully
supportive
I
want
to
hear
from
you
if
you
need
support
from
particular
councillors,
but
also
on
behalf
the
cabinet
and
learning
city.
We're
really
looking
forward
to
working
very
constructively
to
deliver
exactly
what
young
people
need
and
want
not
what
grown-ups
think
you
want.
So
thanks
for
your
maturity,
thanks
for
a
fantastically
constructive
manifesto,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
the
next
two
years.
Thanks.
AB
Thanks
very
much,
can
you
hear
me:
okay,
great,
a
manifesto?
Yes,
a
declaration
of
intention
and
it's
a
very
easy
thing
to
write
and
I
can
see
that
you
pull
up
hardware
to
work
into
it
and,
of
course,
political
parties
have
manifestos
and
they
write
them
and
then
the
difference
between
what
you
get
at
the
end
of
a
couple
of
years
is
sometimes
disappointing.
AB
Now,
I
really
hope
that
you,
obviously
at
the
beginning
of
this
journey,
you
know
what
you
want
and
I
hope
that
the
journey
to
get
it
will
be
made
easy
by
every
member
in
this
chamber.
I
hope
that
when
they
come
to
you
and
say
help
me
get
work
experience,
they
will
turn
around
and
say
yes,
I
belong
to
this
organization
or
that
organization
I'll
give
them
a
call
I'll
help
you
out
and
I
will
say
this
I'm
a
director
of
st.
AB
Webber
City
farm
and
if
any
of
you
or
your
friends
want
to
have
work
experience.
Are
there
please
get
in
contact
with
me.
We've
already
well
ahead
with
our
plans
to
make
sure
that
young
people
can
work
in
the
outdoors
learn
about
animals,
sustainable
energy,
how
to
grow
food.
These
are
all
things
that
I
think
are
really
important
for
work.
Experience
now,
I've
just
been
on
I,
did
take
a
short
break
during
the
election
period
to
go
and
visit.
AB
AB
AB
That's
something
you're
going
to
work
for
and
I
think
Bristol
can
model
change
here.
I
think
it's
something
that
we
can
do.
We
can
put
stuff
through
its
motions.
We
can
work
really
hard
on
looking
at
the
regional
strategy,
we
can
look
at
asking
Westminster
how
we
can
change
the
law
on
this
and
we,
you
know
this
is
how
it
changed
happens
from
the
bottom,
not
from
the
top
as
a
green
is
in.
Our
manifesto
has
been
for
years,
so
really
fantastic.
AB
So
I'd
also
welcome
you
to
think
about
maybe
taking
a
trip
to
the
Isle
of
Man
talking
to
young
people
there
about
what
changed
when
they
were.
Given
the
vote,
you
know
and
I
think
we
could
take
some
examples
from
a
small,
independent
island
that
has
a
slightly
different
system,
and
you
know
what
they
don't
have
party
politics
there
either.
AB
So
we
wouldn't
have
seen
in
their
kind
of
Parliament
the
kind
of
bickering
and
kind
of
name-calling
that
we
saw
earlier,
which
I
have
to
say
I'd
like
to
apologise
on
behalf
of
those
of
us
who
were
not
to
doing
that.
But
that's
not
really
a
way.
I
think
politics
should
go.
We
should
be
working
together
and
moving
forwards
on
these
things.
There's
another
apology,
I'd
like
to
make
actually
I
wasn't
on
any
of
your
manifestos,
but
I
think
you
do
need
to
think
about
it.
AB
When
you're
having
this
conference
in
2018,
I
think
it'd
be
really
worthwhile.
Thinking
about
your
futures
and
the
way
that
that's
perhaps
been
curtailed
and
denied
by
the
the
possibility
of
you
not
moving
and
traveling
to
Europe
the
possibility
of
no
been
able
to
go
to
university
there
and
to
have
some
speakers
who
can
talk
talk
through
that?
Maybe
even
before
you
have
the
conference
about
how
that's
going
to
impact
on
your
lives,
moving
forward,
I
think
it's
a
really
really
sad
thing.
That's
that
we
are
not
going
to
be.
AB
AC
AB
Up
on
one
last
thing:
discrimination
and
vote
at
16
policy
planning
meetings-
this
building
are
all
well
and
good,
but
people
didn't
get
women
didn't
get
the
vote
by
having
meetings
they
had
the
vote
by
getting
out
and
protesting.
Gay
rights
were
not
worn
by
going
to
committee
meetings,
although
they
were
eventually
through
Stonewall,
but
the
initial
the
initial
stuff
was
protest.
It
was
saying
we
will
not
stand
for
this
anymore.
So
if
I
could
say,
one
thing
to
young
people
is
take
note
from
history.
AD
I
wish
I
could
speak
because
articulately,
as
all
of
you
do
and
coming
to
the
chamber,
is
not
the
easiest
of
exercises
and
coming
here
every
six
months.
I
think
it
is,
and
you
present
yourself
so
incredibly
well,
like
honestly
I'm
just
so
impressed
and
thank
you
so
much
for
that
is
you
want
to
speak
speaking,
Sam,
okay,
sorry,
okay,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
effort
and
energy.
The
document.
AD
AD
AD
Just
on
the
issue
of
working
with
the
Youth
Council
counsellors,
I
have
made
approaches
to
try
and
meet
with
my
youth,
counselor
and
I
really
do
look
forward
to
meeting
with
him
and
having
a
really
robust
conversation
and
I
would
hope
that
all
my
colleagues
we'll
be
doing
making
those
saying
performing
those
same
relationships
with
you
in
a
in
a
bid
to
work
constructively
with
you
now
and
into
the
future.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
I.
I
I
So
we
really
I'm
really
encouraging
you
as
well
to
think
when
you,
when
you
go
up
there
to
think
about
how
we
can
bring
the
benefits
of
that
back
for
young
people
as
well.
It
was
a
massively
important
thing
for
me
to
get
outside
the
city,
boundaries
and-
and
our
hope
is
that,
by
going
on
that
outward
bound
with
Bob
that
you
can,
you
can
bring
that
back.
I
mean
in
terms
of
some
of
the
specifics
you've
mentioned.
You
know,
because
we've
been
talking.
Obviously
you
know
they're
very
welcome.
I
Think
if
we
do
that,
we
could
actually
pilot
16
you're
voting
for
16
year
olds,
because
then
electronically,
we
could
extract
it
and
we
could
look
at
the
impact
it
would
have
would
have
had
on
electoral
results.
So
we
want
to
explore
that
and
look
at
maybe
piloting
an
app
with
your
own
elections
as
well
in
1819.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
that.
Secondly,
I
really
take
the
point
about
financial
literacy.
Something
I've
seen
in
the
city
is
that
people
with
money
know
how
to
handle
it
and
get
richer.
I
I
I
One
of
the
pieces
of
work
that
we're
doing
I
would
also
invite
you
to
come
and
contribute
to
is
with
the
city's
health
and
well-being
board,
where
we're
pulling
together
the
commissioners
and
providers
of
all
the
health
services
in
Bristol
they're
saying
how
do
we
step
up
and
offer
this
the
city,
the
kind
of
leadership
on
population
level,
health,
not
just
sickness,
but
well-being,
that
the
city
actually
needs
and
again
you'd,
be
welcome
to
come
along
and
present
some
of
the
work
you've
done
around
mental
health.
You
know
to
that
board
so
I.
I
Thank
you
for
that.
I
love
the
phrase
better
Conder
democracy
I
hear
a
bit
of
an
echo
and
they're
happy
to
echo
the
particular
agenda.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
reach
out
to
us
and
we'll
support
you.
However,
we
can,
but
what
I
would
say
is
as
well
we'll
support
you,
because,
as
been
shared
earlier
on,
you
have
a
fantastic
agenda
to
deliver
for
the
city.
If
you
deliver,
we
all
benefit
thanks.
B
Well,
thank
you
all
very
much.
As
with
the
previous
item,
there's
no
vote
on
this
council
is
asked
to
receive
and
note
the
Youth
Council
manifesto
and
I
hope
you
will
join
with
me
in
looking
forward
to
a
progress
report
being
brought
back
to
us
later
this
year.
We
will
now
have
a
20-minute
refreshment
break.
Please
return
to
the
chamber
wearing
your
lanyards,
please
when
the
bell
rings.
Thank
you.
B
Q
B
Sorry
it's
the
mayor,
I
beg
your
pardon.
Sorry
I
was
trying
to
get
through
this
too
quickly
right.
The
next
item
is
the
is
the
mayor
of
bristles
annual
statements.
The
council
procedure
rules
provide
for
the
elected
mayor
to
deliver
a
statement
to
the
members
at
the
annual
council
meeting
essentially
outlining
his
key
aims
for
the
year
ahead.
This
year's
annual
meeting
fell
during
the
pre-election
period.
Hence
this
item
was
deferred
to
today's
meeting.
B
As
per
the
procedural
note
set
out
on
the
agenda,
I
am
firstly
going
to
ask
Bristol's
mayor
mouth
marvin:
reese
deliver
his
statement
after
full
council
has
received
the
mayor's
statement.
I
will
then
ask
each
of
the
political
groups
to
respond
following
that.
I
will
ask
the
mayor
to
make
a
final
summing
up
response.
Just
to
be
clear.
There
will
be
no
voting
on
this
item.
Council
is
asked
to
receive
and
note
the
respective
statements,
so
I
will
now
ask
Bristol's
mayor
marvin
reese,
to
make
his
annual
statement.
B
I
I
It
worked
for
my
lord
we're
so
I
mean
it
has
been
an
interesting
year,
to
put
it
mildly,
faced
a
number
of
challenges
in
the
chamber.
Looking
at
the
way
we
work
as
an
organization
coming
to
terms
with
the
city.
I
do
think
it's
kind
of
it's.
What's
really
interesting.
As
I
as
I
do
look
back,
I
mean
some
of
you.
I've
met
for
the
first
time,
and
it
seems
like
time
has
just
gone
like
that.
I
Ensuring
the
council
is
more
responsive
to
political
leadership
and
to
the
wider
needs
of
the
city
of
a
ponder'd
report
was
a
key
part
of
that,
highlighting
the
collective
failure
of
leadership
in
achieving
past
savings
and
in
how
the
council
managed
its
processes.
So
my
first
budget
was
carried
in
the
light
of
that
report.
I
We
decided
to
make
it
an
interim
budget
to
give
us
the
space
we
needed
to
build
a
medium
term
financial
plan
and
a
robust
financial
system
to
ensure
we
don't
face
these
kinds
of
problems
in
the
future
one
year
on
I
believe
my
administration
is
driving
to
walk
forwards,
delivering
on
our
key
pledges
and
the
manifesto
commitments
the
people
of
Bristol
voted
for,
but
I
want
to
start
this
evening
with
some
thanks.
So
I
want
to
thank
formally
my
city
partners.
I
I
want
to
thank
my
cabinet
from
all
sides
of
our
various
aisles
and
thank
all
the
people
working
with
us
to
tackle
today's
challenges
and
plan
for
a
better
future
for
Bristol,
no
mayor
no
leader
nor
the
council
itself
can
deliver
for
a
city
working
alone.
We
need
friends
and
I've
spent
my
first
year
building
relationships
collaborating
with
the
city
itself,
and
it's
already
proving
its
worth.
I
Many
people
have
come
forward
to
work
with
us
to
meet
the
city's
challenges
and
I
want
tonight
to
offer
a
particular
thank
you
to
the
labor
group,
my
colleagues
who
sit
in
this
chamber
on
behalf
of
the
Labour
Party.
They
had
the
courage
to
get
elected
in
the
face
of
austerity
to
carry
a
difficult
budget
for
the
city
in
2017,
facing
up
to
the
responsibility
that
comes
with
leadership
together,
we
squared
up
to
the
challenges
that
we
inherited
and
continue
to
have
heaped
upon
us
while
others
are
stepped
aside.
I
You
showed
real
city
leadership
and
you
are
now
the
team
delivering
on
our
manifesto
each
one
of
you
has
responsibility
for
one
or
more
areas
of
our
manifesto
commitments
becoming
accountable
for
delivery.
You
don't
just
talk,
you
lead
and
do
and
I'll
thank
you
for
that.
The
government
has
set
out
its
stall
over
the
last
seven
years
to
shrink
the
footprint
of
city
government,
and
it
is
clear
that
for
as
long
as
they
hold
on
to
power,
they
will
continue
to
do
so.
I
As
a
result,
we
are
dominated
by
headlines
about
cuts
and
protests
and
that's
understandable,
and
we
must
deal
with
that,
but
we
should
not
fall
into
the
simplistic
world
where
it's
all
we
talk
about.
It's
crucial
to
remember.
The
council
still
has
responsibility
for
spending
1.2
billion
pounds
in
the
city
and
is
the
single
biggest
provider
of
services
in
Bristol.
We're
not
just
about
managing
and
opposing
cuts.
Our
job
and
the
budget
process
is
about
making
sure
we
spend
public
money
in
the
most
impactful
and
cost-effective
ways
for
the
people
of
this
city.
I
Now
the
people
who
access
council
services
are,
of
course,
often
among
the
poorest
and
most
vulnerable
citizens
in
the
city
that
doesn't
need.
They
mean
people
telling
them
what
they
need.
They
know
they
are
at
the
brunt
of
this
government's
myopic
commitment
to
austerity
and
they
know
where
the
blame
lies.
Nonetheless,
they
wouldn't
thank
me
for
walking
away
from
the
challenge
of
building
effective
relationships
with
the
partners
to
get
the
investment
we
need
and
to
take
up
the
role
of
and
to
take
up
the
role
of
merely
shouting
from
the
from
the
sidelines.
I
It
is
a
sure
thing,
however,
that
walking
away
from
the
challenge
of
setting
a
legal
budget
would
be
a
total
abdication
of
responsibility.
The
calls
to
set
an
illegal
budget
is
the
easy
option:
birthed
in
irresponsibility
and
patronizes,
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
in
Bristol
who
paid
our
council
tax
and
want
a
democratically
elected
and
controlled,
financially
competent
authority
who
want
a
provision
of
services,
but
also
want
a
growing
economy
and
a
better,
thriving
City.
I
If
we
don't
balance
our
budget,
we
get
headlines,
but
we
sacrifice
all
these
things
and
I
want
to
hold
a
mirror
up
here,
because
we
have
to
face
up
to
the
fundamental
challenge
posed
by
race,
class,
gender
and
power
in
this
city.
These
are
the
fining
features
of
the
modern
world.
Now
there
are
people
holding
politics
to
a
standard
for
equality
inclusion.
They
themselves
are
not
delivering
the
challenges,
particularly
stark
for
those
in
social
movements.
That
claim
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
progressive
politics.
I
The
worldview
I
bring
to
this
challenge
and
the
challenge
I
make
back
is
grounded
in
the
Bristol.
My
family
and
I
grew
up
in
not
when
I
read
about
or
discussed
in
university
seminars
in
the
general
election
and
I'm
sure.
Some
of
us
will
remember
that
some
of
us
won't
want
to
cities
across
the
UK
rejected
austerity
and
demanded
investment.
I
This
was
particularly
true
in
Bristol,
where
we
returned
for
Labour
MPs
to
work
with
a
Labour
mayor,
a
Labour
majority
cancer,
one
man,
a
Labour
mayor
and
a
majority
council
and
I
look
forward
to
us
working
with
our
MPs
as
we
identify
the
best
way
to
pressure
a
government
that
is
lacking
credibility.
We
want
an
end
to
the
hopelessness
of
austerity
and
a
return
to
investment
and
hope,
and
we
want
Westminster
to
understand
that
our
cities
don't
only
need
more
money
and
power
to
shape
what
happens
inside
our
boundaries.
I
We
also
want
to
shape
the
context
within
which
we
live
and
I
will
lead
that
argument
nationally
and
internationally,
both
with
the
core
cities
and
with
the
global
Parliament
of
Mayors.
For
those
who
simply
want
to
express
criticism
and
spread
negativity
to
build
their
own
political
brand.
Let
me
be
clear
that
I
really
am
for
the
money,
not
the
few,
and
the
many
know
where
the
blame
lies
and
the
many
like
our
own
party
leader,
wants
city
leaders
to
do
the
best
they
can
in
the
face
of
the
challenges
they
face.
I
They
have
some
want
to
win
headlines
and
build
their
social
media
following
we
want
to
build
the
city
by
building
houses,
building,
schools,
building
communities
and
building
lives
in
the
name
of
getting
real
stuff
done.
I've
called
on
the
core
cities,
who
were
the
drivers
of
the
national
economy
to
work
together.
I
To
take
to
take
a
joint
approach,
we
were
jointly
challenged
the
government
to
admit
to
the
full
cost
of
the
cuts
and
to
win
investment
for
our
cities,
who,
when
it
comes
to
social
care
and
looking
after
our
most
vulnerable
people
are
at
breaking
point.
I
have
a
straightforward
approach.
We
will
take
our
responsibilities
seriously.
Managing
services
and
deliver
are
financially
competent,
local
authority.
We
will
work
with
city
partners
to
grow
a
sustainable,
inclusive
economy
that
provides
decent
jobs
and
opportunities
for
all,
and
we
work
with.
I
Now
we
heard
about
protesting
earlier
on,
and
this
has
been
a
theme
of
the
week,
to
put
it
mildly:
protesting
has
its
place,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
clear
thought
out,
but
we
also
need
a
clear
thought-out,
alternative
vision
and
strategy.
Frost
cities.
We
won't
grow
a
mass
movement
without
solutions.
People
need
something
to
believe
in
beyond
something
to
protest
against.
No
cuts
is
an
important
message,
but
it
is
not
an
end.
I
State
public
services
are
a
means
to
an
end,
and
we
have
to
be
clear
what
that
end
is
that's
why,
as
core
city
leaders,
we
are
working
on
our
own
green
paper
for
cities
and
we're
setting
out
what
cities
must
become
for
their
populations.
We
will
argue
that
pace
with
government
in
September,
along
with
our
strong
labor
opposition
in
Parliament,
and
be
clear
about
what
we
need
and
now
as
it
is
the
annual
statement
I
want
to
spend
a
few
minutes
just
highlighting
what
my
administration
has
delivered
to
date.
I
Now,
obviously,
we
don't
have
time
to
do
the
whole
list
here,
but
among
the
items
we've
delivered,
we
signed
off
a
devolution
deal
and
created
the
West
of
England
combined
authority
securing
long
term
delivery
on
housing
and
infrastructure.
We
reviewed
the
2016
elections
to
make
improvements
in
local
democracy
and
ongoing
work
on
voter
registration
were
building
a
heat
network
across
the
city,
we've
overhauled
we've
overhauled
sporting
development
and
leadership.
In
Bristol
we
were
the
first
council
in
the
UK
to
ban
the
box
for
ex-offenders.
We
changed
the
council
leadership
team.
I
We
completed
work
on
a
gender
and
race
pay
gap,
we're
bringing
investment
to
the
city
while
opening
up
the
city
to
refugees.
We
changed
the
decision-making
pathway
of
the
council
to
reflect
political
leadership
and
direction
delivered
on
promises
of
green
capital
receipts
being
made
public,
and
we
initiated
the
clean
up.
Bristol
campaign.
We've
established
the
city
office,
bringing
together
city
partners
from
the
public,
private
and
voluntary
sectors,
including
trade
unions
and
charities.
With
the
city
office,
we've
launched
major
pieces
of
work
on
rough
sleeping.
I
We've
all
launched
a
major
piece
of
work,
providing
quality
work,
experience
to
all
children
and
young
people
actually
with
the
cabinet
lead
for
education
and
skills
and
learning
city
partnership
and
we've
launched
a
piece
of
work.
We
were
just
going
over
this
morning,
tackling
hunger
in
a
Bristol
that
is
moved
beyond
simply
providing
breakfast
clubs
to
children
to
feeding
programs
that
support
whole
families
we're
rapidly
delivering
on
our
place.
I
That's
a
called
a
city's
housing
crisis,
we've
taken
black
lap,
we've
taken
bat
land
off
the
open
markets
and
for
the
firown'
leadership
and
development
we've
recovered
empty
properties.
We've
designed
an
ethical
lettings
charter,
we've
given
housing
priority
for
women
escaping
domestic
violence
and
abuse.
We've
established
the
big
housing
conversation
to
prioritize
tenants,
voices,
we've
chased
owners
of
stalled
sites,
we've
brought
new
developers
into
Bristol
and
we've
worked
with
all
developers
to
build
and
deliver
housing
with
a
good
ratio
of
affordable
homes,
including
those
sites
right
in
the
heart
of
the
city.
I
The
agreement
Alderman's
mores
to
build
houses
for
sale
to
fund
building
council
housing
is
a
financial
model
that
is
truly
groundbreaking.
We
made
city
recommendations
on
brexit
we're
working
with
the
city
on
an
innovative
project
to
coordinate
corporate
social
responsibility,
spent
to
create
the
city
fund
and
we're
channeling,
ethically
motivated
investment
for
community
led
projects.
I
Transport
remains
a
priority.
We've
given
local
councillors,
the
chance
to
review
the
RP
Zed's
in
their
areas,
we've
stopped
enforcement
against
blue
badge
holders.
We've
also
started
working
with
key
stakeholders,
including
bus
operators
and
taxi
drivers,
with
whom
we
held
a
industry
conference
this
year
and
we're
close
to
completing
Metro
bus
we've,
also
making
progress
as
we
drive
to
improve
people
flow,
making
improvements
to
our
road
network,
prioritizing
public
transport,
but
also
improving
the
road
experience
for
all
road
users.
I
We've
changed
Road
layouts
in
a
C
Center
and
if
improved
times,
to
get
across
the
city
and
changes,
the
temple
gate
will
speed
up
traffic
in
a
heavily
congested
area.
I'm
also
launching
and
no
idle
roadworks
policy,
with
better
controlled
roadworks
and
opportunities
for
citizens
to
report
idle
roadworks
they're
not
satisfied
with,
but
of
course
we
need
a
bigger
solution
and
I've
recently
launched
a
congestion
task
group
that
will
look
at
quick
wins
as
well
as
take
a
more
strategic
look
at
our
transport
solutions
in
air
quality.
I
Bristol
is
the
only
major
city
without
an
effective
mass
transit
system,
Willick
and
imagines
imaginatively,
exciting
possibilities
learning
from
around
the
world,
and
you
will
hear
more
about
that
in
the
near
future.
It's
also
worth
mentioning
we're
in
the
process
of
working
with
the
fire
service
to
check
every
one
of
our
tower
blocks,
as
you
heard
earlier,
and
finally
I
want
to
comment
on
this
room
and
on
the
politics
of
the
city.
I
My
offer
of
collaboration
remains
and
I
again
our
school
party
leaders
and
I
say
again,
I
again
our
school
party
leaders
to
bring
forward
what
they
want
to
achieve
for
the
city.
In
our
view,
the
idea
of
getting
rid
of
elections
by
thirds
was
to
stop
the
permanent
electioneering
that
undermined
any
opportunity.
We
had
for
collective
action
and
I
think
held
the
city
back
and
I
can
understand
why
people
may
want
to
promote
their
their
party
in
2019,
but
I
would
say.
I
Surely
we
can
at
least
for
a
couple
of
years
put
that
aside
and
get
on
with
some
collaborative
action
to
deliver
for
the
people
of
Bristol
I'm,
a
human
being
like
everyone
else
and
as
I
have
said
to
one
party
leader
there's
only
so
long.
You
can
hold
your
hand
out
while
keep
people
keep
chewing
on
your
fingers
and
if
you
want
to
play
opposition
for
the
next
few
years,
fill
your
boots.
I
We're
just
going
to
crack
on
and
try
and
get
things
done
for
the
city.
We
want
to
put
solutions
on
the
table
and
get
things
done
so
I
finished
by
saying
to
the
whole
city,
I'm
ferociously
ambitious
for
Bristol
we're
facing
massive
challenges,
but
we're
also
achieving
and
we
intend-
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so-
and
I'm
excited
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
those
who
want
to
work
together
in
the
next
year
and
those
beyond.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
my
labour
group.
A
AE
Bristol
West
is
an
example.
The
choice
people
were
offered
was
particularly
stark
in
Bristol
West
people
were
off
the
choice
of
progressive,
progressive
politics
and
could
not
have
been
clearer
in
the
choice
that
they
made.
Protest
is
important,
but
Bristol
needs
far
more
than
just
populist
pull
our
policies.
We
will
be
financially
response
and
we
won't
stand
aside
when
citizens
need
services,
as
everybody
knows,
passing
an
unbalanced
budget.
It's
not
a
path,
it's
a
it's
a
victory.
AE
AE
Now
I'm
movin
on
to
the
good
things
that
we've
achieved.
I'm
marvin
mentioned
a
lot
of
them,
but
I
mean
there
are
there
there?
There
are
a
lot
of
good
news
stories
there:
175
million
pound
investment
in
housing,
the
deal
on
the
UNEP
university
campus
80
hectares
of
land
taken
off
the
market,
so
we
can
deliver
affordable
haitian
150
council
house
brought
back
into
use,
turned
around
and
brought
back
into
use
and
funding
to
design
a
clean
air
zone
for
bristol,
and
all
of
us
on
these
benches
will
be
taking
the
fight
to
Westminster.
AE
Now
let
me
move
on
to
the
DUP
now
I
know,
I
know,
I
know,
transfer,
transfer
fees
have
been
going
up
in
recent
years
and
particularly
in
the
summer,
but
a
hundred
million
pounds
per
player
make
make
some
of
the
transfer
fees
paid
out
in
the
Premier
League.
Look
like
small
change
and,
to
be
honest,
it's
not
even
a
property
transfer.
It's
only
a
loan
deal
for
two
years
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
an
insult.
AE
C
R
No
quite
III,
probably
a
little
larger
than
a
brontosaurus.
In
sum,
I
find
that
I
will
respond
to
the
man
just
a
second
councillor
Doug.
You
really
should
check
your
history
when
the
Labour
Party
were
offering
an
economic
package
to
the
DUP
to
prop
up
Gordon,
Brown
I
think
it
was
and
I
think
they
also
tried
to
make
that
offer
in
2015,
but
maybe
it
was
okay
for
you
to
do.
R
I
wouldn't
use
councillor
Craig's
language
back
at
you,
and
maybe
it
was
okay
for
you
to
do
it,
but
not
us,
but
maybe
maybe
you
should
just
check
that
I
also
I
have
to
acknowledge
the
general
election
results,
but
I
have
been
taking
lessons
from
comrade.
Corbin
we
finished.
Second,
so
I
must
insist,
you
all
resign
and
we'll
take
over
hope.
That's
all
right
with
everybody.
That
seems
to
be
the
way
this
works,
but
if
I
should
get
back
to
the
serious
nature
of
the
the
the
mayor's
state
of
the
city.
R
First
of
all,
congratulations
on
your
first
year.
It's
a
delayed
speech,
but
congratulations
I
wouldn't
want
to
take
that
away
from
you
and
I'll
try
and
be
serious
for
a
change
which
some
of
my
colleagues
will
find
alarming.
These
are
more
than
challenging
times.
I
think
you
use
the
term
difficult,
I'd,
say
they're
more
than
difficult.
We
have
a
severe
financial
problem
and
one
that
actually
was
exacerbated
when
you
came
in
it
wasn't
what
you
thought
it
would
be,
because
we
had
the
whole
issue
of
bonded.
R
We're
gonna
debate
that
later
obviously
and
it'll
be
no
shock
to
you.
I
think
I've
said
this
two
or
three
times
now
that
although
I
was
moved
by
the
mayor's
comment
earlier,
the
greatest
gift
a
parent
can
give
a
child
is
financial
security,
so
they
don't
have
to
take
out
a
loan.
Well,
I
would
agree,
I
agree
with
balanced
budgets.
Apparently
so
do
you
as
well,
but
I
do
think.
When
it
comes
to
local
government,
we
have
taken
our
fair
share.
R
These
kind
of
problems
are
actually
bigger
than
any
one
party,
and
actually,
if
you
go
to
something
like
the
NHS,
where
I'm
saying
yes,
that's
bigger
than
any
one
party,
this
can't
be
a
situation
where
these
kind
of
issues
are
passed
from
Party
to
party
in
the
vain
hope
that
he'll
collapse
on
the
other
person's
watch.
We
can't
have
that
these
are
people's
lives.
R
So
actually,
a
cross
party
solution
is
what
we're
going
to
need,
and
actually
the
mayor
will
work
with
you
on
that
and
I
I
do
I
want
to
go
a
little
rogue
and
Sarah
Palin
on
this
one
ish
I
actually
agree
with
Norman
lamb,
as
I
said
before,
on
the
Lib
Dems.
When
it
comes
to
things
like
this,
you
need
a
Royal,
Commission
I
think
to
look
at
this.
It
all
has
to
be
done
in
the
round
and
nothing
should
be
off
the
table,
but
to
bring
it
back
to
Bristol
I.
R
We
have
to
work
collectively
because,
if
you're
doing
was
something
like
transport,
the
buses
don't
stop
at
the
border
and
name-calling
and
all
the
rest
of
it.
You
can
borrow
against
it.
Dear
boy,
you
can,
you
can
borrow
against
one.
If
we
get
it
right,
you
can
get
more.
So
since
you
you've
raised
that
issue,
then
there
is
the
900
million
over
30
years.
But
actually,
if
you
think
about
it,
the
Metro
West
rail
package
was
45
million
phase
2.
Well,
the
or
30
million
is
almost
there,
but
you
can
leverage
against
it.
R
So
we
can
achieve
good
things
to
transport
those
work
together,
but
actually
signing
there
and
going
all
Tories
evil
isn't
gonna
help
when
you've
got
a
Tory
West
of
England
mayor
and
to
council
group
leaders.
Next
to
you
that
are
also
conservatives,
we
don't
have
elections
for
two
years.
I
hope
can
we
not
just
actually
try
and
get
on
for
a
little
bit
where
we
agree.
R
We
will
work
together
and
actually
I
did
agree
to
come
on
the
congestion
task
group
and
the
quick
wins
that
were
talking
about
I'm
chairing
it
and
I
want
that
to
be
cross.
Part
I
want
that
to
be
a
conversation
with
the
city
as
to
how
we
can
deal
with
that.
So
let's
stop
this.
The
name-calling
it
isn't
helping
I
also
think
we
need
to
make
more
opportunity
on
our
housing
delivery
company
Paul.
R
We
want
to
work
with
you
on
that
that
you
have
made
the
promise
to
build
2,000
houses,
affordable
houses
by
the
end
of
this
term.
Well,
you
got
three
years
left.
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
get
the
skates
on
on
that,
but
I
know
you're
already
sweating
buckets
on
that,
as
is
but
I
wish
you
well,
but
we
also
need
to
start
thinking
outside
the
box,
and
some
of
this
and
I
want
to
raise
two
issues.
I
think
I
was
so.
R
R
One
of
them
is
on
parks
and
it's
how
we
actually
deliver
improvement
in
our
parks,
which
is
actually
important
to
all
of
us,
and
we
looked
at
quotes
and
we
looked
in
quotes
of
what
the
quote
would
be
for
you
or
the
council
to
do
it
and
what
the
quote
would
be.
If
we
went
to
a
private
provider,
it's
half
to
30%
and
not
reduction.
That's
30%
I've
got
a
quote
for
a
a
mugger
multi-use
games
area.
R
120,000
50,000
on
the
we're
gonna
have
to
think
better
with
our
money
and
actually
look
outside
of
where
we
traditionally
have
sought
to
make
these
improvements.
Libraries,
which
I
think
you
were
alluding
to
earlier.
When
you
try
to
single
me
out
guys
what
you're
proposing
isn't
going
to
work.
We
can
do
a
lot
better,
and
actually
we
can
do
that.
But
I
think
learning
lessons
and
I
have
spoken
to
counsel,
Craig
and
I
hope
these
been
taken
on
board.
R
When
we
look
at
someone
like
South
gloss,
which,
when
with
automated
cart
systems
in
some
areas,
you
can
look
at
the
place
like
Suffolk
County
Council,
which
use
volunteers,
you
can
look
at
mutualization
x'.
There
are
ways
to
do
this,
but
actually
the
consultation
has
is
at
the
moment,
dismisses
the
use
of
volunteers
we
have
to.
It
does
actually
dismisses
it
on
the
final
point
it
it
does
on
the
final
point,
but
we
can
do
that
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
going
to
go
on.
R
R
This
is
a
late
addition
which
comes
from
the
whole
Jubilee
Poole
debate
we
had
earlier
if
there
are
typos
or
if
there
are
inconsistencies,
iron
them
out,
because
we
have
one
report
up
on
the
screen,
which
was
saying
one
thing
and
we're
all
looking
reports
on
our
iPad
said
a
different
thing.
This
this
can't
go
on.
The
city
is
already
nervous
for
God's
sake,
get
it
right.
I'm.
Looking
to
beyond
Marvin
of
the
mayor
to
your
colleagues
behind
you
think,
come
on
on
the
communication.
R
But
I
repeat
what
you
said
these
challenging
times,
but
we're
not
up
for
election.
So
let's
try
and
be
responsible
for
a
change
and
actually
maybe
show
some
of
the
young
people
that
were
here
earlier
today.
The
politics
isn't
like
it
is
at
p.m.
cues,
where
we
don't
scream
of
people
and
call
them
dinosaurs
or
whatever
else
we're
yelling.
We
have
to
try
and
teach
each
other
human
beings,
because
politics
is
about
getting
stuff
done.
It's
about
trying
to
help
people.
We
may
come
at
it
from
different
directions.
R
That's
the
fundamentals
and
I
think
so
often
we're
forgetting
about
the
we
need
treaty
with
respect
by
all
means:
throw
criticisms,
that's
fine,
let's,
let's
try
not
make
it
personal
at
least,
do
it
with
good
humor.
Thank
you
very
much,
my
lord
mayor
to
the
mayor.
Thank
you
we'll
work
together
where
we
can
but
we'll
fight
you
tooth-and-nail,
where
we
disagree.
Thank
you.
AG
Thank
you,
my
lord,
my
and
I'm
so
glad
to
hear
that
the
mayor
has
taken
our
advice
and
has
fought
against
austerity
in
a
public
way
because
it
matters,
as
you
say
that
we
do
our
jobs
properly,
but
it
also
matters
that
people
in
the
wider
city
see
that
you
are
listening
and
the
you
are
standing
up
and
that
you
are
recognizing
that
our
restructuring
is
not
without
costs
for
them.
So
I
applaud
you
for
that
and
I.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
AG
There
was
no
need
for
such
a
study
as
an
excuse
to
vote
against
a
green
budget
amendment
on
the
subject,
because
we
are
all
lifelong
learners,
but
there
is
a
real
chance
that
you'll
make
strides
in
the
right
direction
on
air
quality.
If
you're
willing
to
put
those
recommendations
into
practice
and
act
with
the
urgency
that
this
health
crisis
merits,
we
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
that
in
July
on
housing.
AG
You
have
a
bigger
job
on
your
hands
to
increase
the
proportion
of
affordable
housing
from
around
10
percent
to
40
percent,
but
there
does
seem
to
be
an
energy
in
this
area,
as
well
as
a
willingness
to
look
at
different
ways
of
working
and
to
listen
to
and
work
with
different
types
of
organization,
all
of
which
bodes
well.
If
there
is
a
lassen
we
can
draw
out
of
these
two,
perhaps
it
is
that
delegating
responsibility
to
someone
and
letting
them
get
on
with
it
can
often
be
a
recipe
for
success.
AG
I
would
contrast
this
with
your
decision
to
pull
traffic
and
congestion
back
into
direct
control
of
the
mayor's
office.
You
can't
do
everything.
No
one
person
has
the
time
or
the
energy,
so
you
have
to
allow
other
people
the
space
to
do
the
work.
You
can't
even
become
the
expert
on
everything,
so
you
have
to
trust
in
the
people
who
work
for
you
and
allow
your
cabinet
to
master
their
own
portfolios
and
then
rely
on
their
actions
and
judgment.
AG
I
know
this
is
not
easy,
we're
all
politicians
and
by
definition
more
or
less
control
freaks,
but
in
the
words
of
Jack
Welch,
the
former
chief
executive
of
General
Electric
and
power
delegate
get
out
of
the
way
on
some
less
positive
notes.
I
was
disturbed
to
see
that
on
the
council
website,
I
wasn't
able
to
find
anything
on
your
ambition
to
deliver
a
carbon-neutral
Bristol
by
2050.
AG
AG
AG
The
current
round
of
cuts
hasn't
started
to
bite
yet,
but
with
the
consultation
going
public,
their
depth
is
becoming
clearer
and
people
are
starting
to
realize
just
what
they're.
Faced
with,
as
greens,
we
believe
that
grassroots
activism
can
achieve
amazing
things,
but
it
needs
nurturing
and
it
needs
space
and
time
to
grow.
You
can't
just
roll
it
out
like
astroturf
to
cover
all
the
bare
patches
in
the
council
zone
provision.
AG
AG
O
It's
certainly
the
case
that
in
the
previous
five
years,
2010
and
2/15
money
was
not
very
easily
obtainable
and
in
my
view
things
were
quite
tight
in
that
at
that
time
for
local
authorities.
Having
said
that,
there
was
a
reason
for
that,
and
that
was
the
catastrophic
financial
emergency
that
the
country
was
in
in
2010.
O
Now
we
were
responsible
as
a
party
we
stood
up
to
the
place.
We
knew
it
would
actually
cost
us
elected
representatives,
but
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
it
was
never
going
to
be
an
easy
thing
to
do
or
a
popular
thing
to
do.
But
during
that
time
all
we
had
from
the
Labor
Party
was
brickbats
and
to
get
respond.
Lectures
from
the
Liberal
Party
on
financial
responsibility
just
quite
frankly,
beggars
belief,
particularly
given
the
Fantasyland.
O
So
the
reason
that
that
has
to
be
stated
is
that
we
actually
departed
parted
company
very
much
from
the
Conservative
Party
in
2015.
A
lot
of
things
had
to
be
done
during
that
period.
We
do
not
agree
with
some
of
the
things
that
have
actually
been
imposed
now
on
local
government
and
some
local
services.
Having
said
that,
that
does
not
excuse
poor
behavior
with
what
resources
actly
are
available
and
I'm
afraid
just
trotting
out
austerity.
Austerity
at
every
point
does
not
cover
things.
It's
not
matter.
O
It's
not
because
of
austerity
that
we've
got
such
an
incompetent
consultation,
gone
out
on
on
the
libraries
and
incompetent
handling
of
the
neighbourhood
partnership
situation
at
local
democracy.
That's
just
pure
bad
management,
and
when
we
actually
do
say
don't
you
think
you
should
be
doing
it
differently
and
marks
actually
quite
right
with
regard
to
the
other
models
that
have
actually
been
made
available
and
potentially
available
for
running
libraries
in
a
different
way?
No,
no!
No!
No!
No!
O
We're
not
putting
on
the
car
we're
going
to
dismiss
all
that
in
the
consultation
and
no
matter
how
much
they
deny
reality.
That's
what
the
consultation
actually
does
I
think
we
had
an
ample
demonstration
earlier
on
today,
again
of
incompetence.
That
was
nothing
to
do
with
austerity.
I
saw
some
committed
people
who
knew
exactly
what
they
were
doing
and
they
exposed
a
poor
administration,
and
it
was
nothing
to
do
with
austerity.
It
was
nothing
to
do
with
saving
money
on
on
the
budget
used
to
do
with
arrogance,
and
it
was
to
do
with
poor
administration.
O
It's
too
early
to
make
final
judgments,
and
it
would
be
very
foolish
to
do
so,
but
I
do
think
that
things
need
to
change
quite
dramatically.
I
have
sympathy
with
the
inheritance
from
the
previous
administration,
but
then
again,
some
of
us
were
warning
about
that
for
quite
some,
while
as
to
how
badly
things
were
actually
going
wrong
and
unfortunately,
members
opposite
really
did
not
join
us
in
enact
Lee
pointing
the
finger
and
saying
look.
We
need
to
do
something
urgently
about
this.
O
It
wasn't
just
the
finances,
it
was
the
administration
and
the
governance
that
was
entirely
wrong
and
that
will
come
up
later
on
as
well
when
we
discuss
pondereth
but
quite
bluntly,
we
need
to
get
away
from,
it's
always
somebody
else's
fault,
and
that
is
not.
That
is
not
something
that
this
administration
will
be
able
to
manage
for
the
next
four
years.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
So
let
me
start
by
saying
thanks,
I
think
actually
mark
I.
Take
you
up
on
that.
I
think
that
your
comments
today
actually
reflect
the
way
you
have
been
with
us,
and
you
know,
and
it's
one
of
the
reasons
why,
when
you
do
offer
challenges,
I
take
them
seriously
because
I
think
they
come
from
a
real
place,
and
thank
you
for
that.
We
do
I.
Take
the
point
that
you
made
a
law
about
being
seen
to
be
done.
I
Now
we
may
play
to
the
gallery
in
the
city
and
win
the
kudos
on
Twitter,
but
what
we
will
do
is
lock
off
the
opportunity
to
get
the
investment
we
need
is
some
of
the
big
infrastructure
projects,
and
it
means
that
sometimes
you
do
things
you
don't
tell
people
about
it
and
and
and
and
I
think
what
we
have
to
do,
and
well
it's
up
to
people
if
they
want
to
do
that.
But
certainly,
what's
in
my
mind,
is
a
day
I
make
the
judgment
on.
When
do
I?
I
When
do
I
share
what
we
are
actually
doing
and
seek
public
approval,
and
when
do
we
actually
go
on
and
get
on
we're
trying
to
get
it
done
without
the
public
knowing
and
when
we
talking
about
devolve
in
people
and
just
in
responsibility?
I
think
that
also
goes
for
these
questions
of
glory.
You
don't
always
see
the
glory
in
a
public
life
just
to
be
on
the
the
right
side
of
Twitter
and
I.
Think
to
that
I
mean
I'm
gonna
get
into
all
the
specifics
of
this.
We
do
want
to
I
mean
your
own
cabinet.
I
I
know
it'll,
be
hesitant
about
saying
this,
but
your
cabinet
leaders
the
lead,
the
fir
congestion
and
waste
and
air
quality.
So
you
could
have
a
chat
about
what
we
are
actually
trying
to
do
quite
easily,
but
I
think
we
showed
that
we
had
a
quite
robust
conversation
yesterday,
which
is
about
really
really
being
clear
about
short
term
wins,
but
also
how
we
put
the
city
on
a
trajectory
to
deliver
this
in
a
sustainable
way
over
the
long
term.
I
What
we
talked
about
was
coming
up
with
an
agreed
definition
of
what
we
mean
by
clean
energy,
not
just
for
Bristol
but
across
the
core
cities,
and
actually
we've
asked
for
that
work
to
be
done.
Looked
across
the
euro
cities
across
the
globe
of
parliament
amazed
and
what
I've
said
was
the
rest.
Take
that
definition,
and
let's
up
the
ante
on
that
definition,
so
that
we're
offering
a
robust
city
definition
about
what
sustainable
city
development
will
be
and
through
the
global
Parliament
amazed.
We
will
push
this.
In
fact.
I
They
can
stay
on
for
a
couple
of
extra
days
and
deal
with
the
migration
crisis,
as
well
as
part
of
a
global
conversation,
because
the
IOM
is
hosting
a
series
of
seminars
all
around
the
world
with
100
resilient
cities,
and
we
said,
let's
make
those
conversations
flow
on
a
continuum.
So
we
want
to
deliver
that,
but
actually
one
of
the
things
that
I
ask
us
to
take
on
and
certainly
exercises
me
and
I've
challenged
some
of
our
people
when
they've
come
with.
I
Some
solutions
is
when
we
approach
the
consequences,
all
the
need
to
take
action
on
climate
change.
What
we
must
not
do
is
ask
poor
people
to
pay
financially
for
problems
caused
by
rich
people.
I
have
a
real
gripe
when
I
watch
Natural
History
programs.
This
is
one
that
comes
from
my
teenagers
and
you
they
go
to
Kenya
and
they
look
at
animals
being
killed
and
they
said
the
people
that
caused
this
problem
is
man.
I
You
know
we're
doing
the
background
work,
which
is
about
building
houses.
What
I,
also
say
and
you'd
have
been.
Anyone
is
welcome
to
be
part
of
participant
of
this
through
the
city
office.
We
rallied
the
city
in
a
way
that
many
of
the
charity
says
not
been
rani
before
from
business
from
voluntary
sector
public
sector,
about
making
sure
that
no
one
who
has
the
ability
to
accept
help
would
have
to
spend
the
night
on
the
street
between
January
to
first
and
March
the
first.
I
We
didn't
achieve
that
goal,
not
just
because
some
people
couldn't
accept
help,
but
because
we
didn't
manage
to
reach
some
people
but
actually
pulling
all
those
organizations
together
to
take
on
that
challenge
or
something
to
sit.
You
up
number
four
in
that
hole.
Just
there
we
had
a
hundred
and
seventy
two
two
hundred
volunteers
who
all
rally
together
around
that
that
challenge.
So
we
take
that
seriously.
One
of
the
things
that
one
of
my
close
friends
who
runs
one
of
the
the
homelessness
charities
in
the
inner
city
has
also
said
to
me,
is
around
homelessness.
I
We
in
gate.
We
need
to
engage
our
brains
as
well
as
our
hearts,
in
that
some
of
the
drivers
of
homelessness
are
not
around.
Homelessness
depend
on
a
seasonality
of
it
as
well.
So
we
have
to
have
a
sophisticated
approach
to
approach
to
this.
It
is
about
reaching
out
to
people
in
need,
but
if
there's
and
aren't
going
to
say,
because
someone's
going
to
tweet
it
out
of
context,
but
there
are
many
drivers
to
people
being
on
the
street,
and
not
all
of
them
are
our
interventions
that
we
can
make
that
will
solve.
I
I
We
work
with
an
institution
and-
and
there
was
a
comment
made
about
me,
distancing
myself
from
from
an
error
that
was
made
I'm
not
going
to
do
that,
and
so,
when
things
aren't
going
as
well
as
we
might
like
them
to
do,
I'm,
not
what
we.
What
I'm
not
going
to
do
is
come
up
and
say
well
nothing
to
do
with
me
right
yeah.
My.
A
I
Sorry,
you
know,
I
will
stand
there
and
take
that
same
with
you,
buddy
Poole,
saying
with
this
book.
You
know
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
stand
there
and
take
it.
What
I
would
say
about
the
hemorrhaging
of
stuff
that
you
mentioned
it's
important
to
remember
that
in
our
budget
and
many
people
in
the
city
have
been
asking
for
a
less
expensive
and
less
expensive
management
structure
in
a
local
authority,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
with
the
same
things
we're
delivering.
I
We
don't
want
the
huge
number
of
temporary
staff
and
the
instability
that
brings,
but
we
do
need
to
look
at
the
structure
and
the
way
the
council
is
being
run
VCS.
We
can
talk
about
that
after
we've
asked
for
a
major
piece
of
work
to
be
done
on
what
the
VCS
needs
to
be
like.
We
don't
take
people
granted
I
worked
in
a
VCS
myself
like
commissioned
VCS
organizations,
so
we
know
how
it
so.
B
B
The
final
item
is
agenda
item
9
response
to
the
bond
read
review.
The
report
included
in
your
agenda
pack
today
sets
out
the
response
to
the
bond
read
report
that
was
considered
and
approved
at
16th
of
May
cabinet
meeting.
There
is
no
decision
for
full
council
to
take
on
this
report
today
before
we
moved
to
the
debate.
B
I
would
be
grateful
if
members
could
please
note
the
following
the
annual
governance
statement
wreckin
presented
last
week
to
the
Audit
Committee
provided
members
with
an
assessment
of
the
government's
governance
issues
the
authority
has
had
and
is
dealing
with
and
is
consistent
with
the
Bundrage
review.
The
action
plan
attached
it
to
today's
report
provides
members
with
the
current
and
future
steps
being
taken
to
improve
governance,
financial
regulation
and
leadership
within
the
authority.
B
The
focus
of
the
debate
at
full
council
today
should
therefore
be
on
whether
the
action
plan
provides
members
with
sufficient
assurance
on
ongoing
improvements
in
this
regard.
During
the
debate
itself,
care
must
be
taken
not
to
bring
the
council
into
disrepute
in
line
with
the
codes
of
conduct
for
members
and
officers
and
in
particular,
defamatory
comments
must
not
be
made,
as
these
may
affect
the
reputation
of
members
and
officers.
B
AH
Just
pretty
much
spoiled
everything
I
was
going
to
say
and
I
didn't
want
to
go
back
over,
say
I,
don't
want
to
go
back
over
the
Bund
review
itself,
I'm
sure
we've
all
read
it.
We've
certainly
discussed
it
enough
and
the
details
of
it
speak
for
themselves.
What
I
want
to
talk
about
is
what
is
happening
and
what
is
going
to
happen
in
the
future.
AH
This
report
today
takes
the
recommendations
in
the
budget
review
and
turns
them
into
deliverable
actions
beneath
the
high-level
actions
within
the
report
or
a
whole
raft
of
other
actions
and
pieces
of
work
which
are
at
various
stages
of
development,
but
are
bringing
about
the
various
improvements
Steve
budget
recommends.
What
was
reassuring
about
his
review
was
that
many
of
these
recommend
recommendations
were
already
underway
and
much
has
happened
since
then.
We
now
have
more
robust
governance,
around
savings
delivery,
around
Directorate
and
team
budgets,
where
the
new
business
case.
AH
We
have
a
new
business
case,
template
using
HMT
guidelines
and
built
with
input
from
scrutiny.
We
are
conducting
a
review
of
scrutiny
more
generally
led
by
the
overview
and
scrutiny
management
board.
We
have
new
and
more
accessible
report
templates
in
terms
of
the
finance
function
itself.
We
are
under
governor
transformation
and
on
the
right
path
and
have
already
put
it
front
and
center
in
decision-making
processes
and
giving
it
the
teeth.
It
needs
to
challenge
and
push
back
on
pieces
of
work
which
have
not
fully
considered
the
financial
implications.
AH
Monthly
budget
monitoring
works
well
throughout
the
latter
half
of
the
year
and
enabled
us
to
be
transparent
and
open
with
the
city
about
the
challenges
we
face.
So
much
is
happening.
It's
a
work
in
progress
and
I'm
sure
things
will
evolve
and
change
as
we
move
forward
I'm
pleased
to
bring
you
this
report
today.
AI
AI
I
want
to
focus
on
the
relationship
between
members
and
officers
within
the
scrutiny
process,
which
is
a
vital
part
of
how
we
work
as
a
council
and
how
we
work
better
as
a
council
I
welcome
recommendations,
four
and
five,
particularly
on
the
quality
of
reports,
because
these
do
need
to
improve,
and
this
and
the
the
members
should
be
less
tolerant
of
poor
reports
when
they
do
appear.
I
think
we
haven't
done
that.
AI
The
overwhelming
majority
of
officers
who
work
this
council
are
good
officers,
they're
helpful,
decent
and
honest
the
his
do
a
good
job
and
they're
here
to
make
the
city
a
better
place
now.
I
make
that
absolutely
clear.
But
there
are
some
of
the
unpleasant
things
I
feel
into
saying
some
officers
in
the
past
for
a
long
time,
but
here
and
there
one
or
two
people
have
had
the
attitude
that
councillors
are
a
temporary
nuisance
gone
at
the
next
election,
just
getting
in
the
way.
AI
I
know
that
truth
has
been
concealed
from
me
as
an
individual
cancer.
Upon
occasion,
I
know
that
on
rare
occasions
there
has
been
misdirection
on
the
part
of
bad
officers.
There
are
protocols
around
how
we
describe
that,
but
I
think
we
know
what
we're
talking
about
some
officer
attitudes
do
need
to
change,
but
members
need
to
change
too.
We
need
to
get
better
at
questioning
officers.
We
need
training
really
in
the
process
like
they
used
to
be
because
many
where
wife
first
became
accounts
for
them.
AI
There
was
an
extensive
training
program,
but
it's
no
longer
there
because
we've
had
to
cut
costs,
but
I
think
we
do
any
training
in
questioning,
because
if
we
cut
that
corner
then
quite
frankly,
it's
a
false
saving
counselors
will
find
it
difficult
to
question
what
has
been
emitted
from
a
report
all
together.
That
I
believe
there
should
be
clear
consequences
for
deliberately
omitting
information
from
a
report.
There
should
be
clear
consequences
for
delivering
concealing
information
and
for
misleading
members
officers
who
do
these
things
should
be
disciplined.
AI
R
Thank
you,
I
rise
to
actually
agree
with
an
awful
lot
of
what
councillor
brain
said
or
possibly
not
his
choice
in
Thai,
yeah
I
got
a
portion
labor
on
that
or
there's
actually
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
good
in
the
recommendations
and
I
do
applaud
them.
I
think
the
problem
for
it
is
and
I'm
sure
colleagues
may
have
found
this
as
well.
It
is
trying
to
wade
through
it.
R
It
is
written
very
much
in
a
bit
of
officer
legalese,
and
maybe
it
needs
to
be
because
the
seriousness
of
the
subject
but
trying
to
somehow
trying
to
work
out
exactly
where
it
goes
and
who
is
responsible
is
tricky
when
it
comes
to
this
and
actually
sometimes
the
detail,
isn't
clear
at
all
and
if
you're
looking,
for
example,
at
the
bottom
of
page
23,
it
says
that
there
will
be
informal
arrangements
made
for
councils
to
get
there
are
briefings
on
subjects
or
Ward
briefings
even
I.
Welcome
that
I
think
that's
fantastic.
R
How
do
we
go
about
getting
that
and
also?
How
is
that
different
to
what
we
already
have
when
I've
simply
can
pick
up
the
phone
to
an
officer
and
ask
them?
What's
what
I'm
sure
the
rest
of
you
like?
Once
you
find
a
good,
a
housing
officer
or
Parks
officer,
you
never
delete
that
phone
number
even
when
they,
when
they
move
on,
you
feel
like
you've
lost
the
limb
so,
but
how
does
that
work?
And
that
isn't
clear?
And
actually
it's
not
referred
to
really
in
the
action
steps.
R
The
development
of
a
protocol
on
officer,
councilor,
engagement,
I,
agree
and
I
know
that's
been
worked
on,
but
the
police
make
sure
it's
worked
on
with
us.
Don't
tell
us
how
officers
will
engage.
This
leads
us
to
work
with
us
on
how
we
need
that
engagement
to
work
as
well,
and
we
need
we're
going
to
need
that
this
one.
The
very
strange-
and
this
is
I-
guess
I'm.
Just
now
proving
that
I've
read
the
report
section
on
page
28,
where
we
say
the
appointment
will
now
be
based
on
merit.
What
was
it
based
on
before?
R
It's
a
very
bizarre,
so
I'm
trying
to
find
the
exact
quote
anyway.
Have
a
look
for
it,
it's
it
satellite!
The
report
is,
the
report
is
good,
I
mean
I
won't
go
over
the
problems
of
ponder
it.
We
all
know
them.
We
have
debated
them
at
length.
We
can't
let
it
happen
again
and
actually
we're
all
culpable,
although
it's
certainly
those
were
still
here
last
year,
because
we
all
miss
things
and
we
all
have
to
earn
up
to
that
all
parties
were
in
the
cabinet.
We
have
to
run
up
to
that
as
well.
R
We
can't
let
it
happen
again
and
that's
what
I
think
the
report
is
there
and
it
is
good
in
there,
but
please
just
tweak
it
trying
to
make
it
so
that
it's
less
jargon
istic.
So
we
can
bring
forward
the
proposals
swiftly,
I'm
delighted
to
see
a
lot
of
them,
our
timetable
for
June,
but
I'm
not
aware
that
they've
been
completed
yet,
and
that
would
try
to
write
us
with
the
detail.
AJ
Thank
you
looming
when
I
heard
about
the
unexpected
hole
in
the
budget
last
year,
like
others,
I
was
obviously
very
concerned.
I
completely
agreed
with
the
mayor
that
and
needed
to
have
an
in-depth
look
into
what
had
happened.
I'd
have
applauded
the
appointment
of
Steve
hundred.
At
that
time
it
seemed
to
me
there
was
three
clear
stages
that
needed
to
happen
in
the
process.
AJ
First,
an
inquiry
and
a
report
identifying
the
problems,
then
the
council's
response,
which
we've
had
and
then-
and
this
is
the
important
bit
action
on
the
ground-
to
reflect
those
changes
in
culture
stage.
One
in
this
process
was
the
budget
report
itself
and
when
I
reread
it
for
this
debate,
so
I
told
it
managed
to
highlight
the
critical
issues
well
and
to
come
to
some
clear
recommendations
there,
one
or
two
conclusions,
I
personally
didn't
agree
with
especially
around
officers
motivations
on
occasions,
but
I'm
prepared
to
live
with
the
with
those
conclusions
stay.
AJ
AJ
Nevertheless,
on
the
whole,
the
the
the
council
seemed
to
have
accepted
all
the
conclusions
from
the
bundage
reports
and
has
translated
them
into
recommendations
that
I'm
pretty
sure
if
Steve
hundred
was
here,
he
would
applaud
largely
and
I'm
interested,
actually,
whether
he's
been
involved
in
this
process
and
what
he's
seen
the
council
report,
but
I,
don't
need
an
answer
now
so
far,
so
good.
So
perhaps
eight
out
of
ten
for
the
first
two
stages,
however,
and
of
it
there
is
a
coarser.
However,
there
does
seem
to
be
more
of
a
problem
with
stage
3.
AJ
AJ
For
example,
let's
talk
about
members,
scrutiny
I
know,
there's
some
confusion
and
uncertainty
about
the
proposed
scrutiny
process
going
forward,
but
most
of
the
proposals
that
I've
heard
and
seen
would
lead
to
appears
to
me
would
lead
to
a
significant
reduction
in
the
amount
of
scrutiny
I'm
pretty
sure
again.
If
Steve
Bundrage
was
here,
he
would
tell
us
to
increase
members
scrutiny,
not
reduce
it,
to
give
a
few
examples
and
where
the
council
seemed
to
be
struggling
to
deliver
this
member
engagement,
that's
so
important.
AJ
AJ
Sorry
working
group,
thank
you.
He
he
tells
me
that
many
of
the
recommendations
now
being
proposed
were
not
even
put
before
this
committee
and
are
completely
new
to
him.
Why
is
this
where's,
the
member
oversight?
There
are
other
examples
where
councillors
are,
on
the
one
hand,
being
encouraged
to
be
part
of
the
consultation
process,
but
then
seem
to
be
largely
ignored
when
decisions
are
actually
made.
AJ
We
shall
leave
my
colleague
Clive
Stephens
to
talk
about.
Members
want
to
be
more
involved
and
Bundrage
tells
us
that
we
must
be
there's
no
use
in
the
count,
so
either
not
build
enough
member
oversight
or
just
having
a
process
that
pays
lip
service
and
then
ignores
the
results.
I
think
if
this
warning
is
not
heard
now
we're
very
likely
to
be
having
this
debate
again
in
a
few
years
time.
AK
You
Laura
and
I
welcome
the
the
Green
Party
to
the
Liberal
Democrat
twofold
that
we've
been
banging
that
drum
for
a
very
long
time,
so
glad
to
hear
you
come
along.
There
are
occasions
in
any
organization
where
it
needs
a
reboot,
and,
my
goodness
me,
the
end
of
the
last
administration
was
such
an
occasion.
We've
quite
rightly
reviewed
and
I
I
take
my
hat
off
to
you
for
doing
this
reviewed
where
we
stand,
and
that
has
rather
covered
the
ground.
AK
I
think
in
terms
of
Finance
and
in
terms
of
procedures
where
we
find
yourself
now,
however,
is
in
a
much
depleted
situation
in
terms
of
the
resources
to
deliver
those
improvements
and
I
think
we
can
all
see
signs
of
some
of
this
scratching
along
a
bit,
because
the
officers
are
under
a
great
deal
of
pressure
with
more
to
do
in
this
respect
and
less
resources
with
which
to
do
it.
So
I
want
to
talk
about
a
bit
as
a
stability
about
going
forward.
AK
I
think,
that's
that
that's
what
would
be
expected
of
us
as
individual
councillors
and
I've
seen
examples
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
where
we
really
have
worked
as
individual
counselors
for
the
good
of
this
city
and
not
on
a
particular
to
call
basis
and
I
think
that's
very
welcome
and
I
applaud
it
and
I
always
have
done
so
all
those
people
that
I've
seen
doing
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
but
I
wanted
particularly
to
talk
about
the
the
shift
that
we're
going
to
see
going
forward.
AK
We
have
got
to
deliver
an
awful
lot
in
this
city
with
very
much
less
we're
all
very
clear
on
that.
What
we
can
do
here
is
to
provide
our
input,
which
I
hope
is
valued
and
I
hope
it's
done
in
the
right
spirit,
and
we
can
deliver
much
in
that
respect.
What
we
principally
need
to
achieve,
I
think
is,
is
remember
what
our
job
is.
Certainly,
what
I
consider
my
job
to
be
and
I
think
there
wouldn't
be
much
difference.
My
job
I
think,
is
to
try
and
make
good
things
happen
in
this
city.
I.
AK
Don't
think
anyone
would
disagree
with
that,
but
my
job
is
also
I
think
to
challenge
those
things
which
I
believe
are
not
clear,
are
not
presented
properly,
openly
and
and
forcibly
in
that
they
allow
challenge
an
opportunity
for
real
debate
and
I
think
we
are
seeing
some
signs
of
that
closing
down.
I
think
we
are.
We
are
I'm
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
it.
AK
I
think
the
governance
was
briefly
talked
about
the
constitutional
changes,
the
ability
to
question
openly
and
publicly
the
ability
for
members
of
the
public
to
have
enough
time
to
frame
questions
and
to
make
their
points
and
be
heard,
listen
to
respected
trusted.
This
is
an
important
word
that
that's
those
are
things
which
I
think
we
all
of
us
party
aside.
AK
About
I've,
just
out
of
that
conflict
I
think
comes
much
better
results
results
which
are
accepted
by
a
much
greater
part
of
this
of
our
citizens
and
I
urge
you
all
to
fight
for
maintaining
this
democracy
in
our
city,
and
we
can
then
deliver
Bundrage
in
the
spirit
in
which
I
think
it
was
intended.
Thank
You.
AL
You
my
lord
mayor
at
its
very
best,
and
you
wouldn't
always
guess
it.
If
you
only
saw
four
council
meetings,
we
do
actually
work
across
party
lines
very
effectively
at
a
scrutiny
level,
and
there
is
a
very
strong
sense
of
independence
when
looking
at
the
reports
that
we
receive
and
it's
I
don't
know,
I
found
the
report
that
we
had
today
quite
interesting
and,
thankfully
short
the
standard
requirement
for
member
briefings,
including
the
need
to
be
clear
on
purpose
capture,
officer,
recommendations
and
the
kind
of
supporting
background
information.
AL
Those
kind
of
things
are
vital
for
councillors
to
have
a
clue
what
we're
doing
what
we're
looking
at
it
doesn't
matter.
Even
if
you
have
a
background
in
a
particular
field
on
page
24,
the
response
says
that
members
will
be
supported
through
the
member
development
program
to
recognize
and
challenge
when
a
report
is
of
poor
quality.
AL
The
council,
as
I
notices
across
party,
also
need
and
are
keen
to
have
sufficient
training
to
be
able
to
know.
If
a
report
is
useful,
some
reports,
I
have
read,
have
looked
useful
but
sadly
turned
out
not
to
be
I'd
like
to
praise
the
new
councillors,
particularly
Nicola
Bowden
Jones,
for
challenging
the
quality
of
reports
that
we
receive
their
usefulness
and
their
accessibility.
AL
I
think
it's
vital
as
its
recommended
on
page
25
in
item
7
to
keep
backbenchers
and
opposition
councillors
properly
informed
and
I
do
look
forward
to
that
being
more
commonplace.
Certainly
I've
been
to
some
really
useful
briefings
about
things
impacting
my
ward,
like
the
Crips
patch
way,
new
neighborhood
and
various
transport
issues
such
as
a
Hembree
loop,
I'd
love
to
see
more
good,
open
briefings
like
that,
where
councillors
of
all
parties
engaged
with
the
material,
asked
pertinent
questions
and
occasionally
pointed
out
stuff
that
only
a
for
example.
AL
I'm
sure
that
the
audience
up
there
would
would
embrace
that
even
more
holy
than
those
of
us
in
the
main
chamber,
I'm
hoping
that
if
later
in
the
year,
the
council
decides
to
adopt
the
proposed
task
and
finished
scrutiny,
groups
that
might
help
with
that
a
better
use
of
officer
time,
a
better
use
of
councilor
time
and
a
better
use
of
public
engagement
and
involvement
with
external
experts
or
concerned
members
of
the
public.
I'm
pleased
to
see
that
finance
functions
are
finally
at
the
heart
of
the
council
in
all
directorates
being
embedded.
AL
The
work
that's
been
done
by
Denise
and
her
team
to
try
and
really
get
to
grips
with
our
financial
challenges
is
something
that
deserves
praise
and
I
will
just
like
to
finish
that
on
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
reports
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
training
and
the
ongoing
training
that
councillors
receive
I'd,
really
like
to
praise
our
planning
officers
as
an
example
of
best
practice.
At
times.
You
know
we
have
thorough
training
when
we
start
as
counselors.
AL
We
get
ongoing
training
and
can
go
to
annual
training
sessions,
and
recently
we've
had
useful
training
sessions
on
things
like
viability,
enforcement
and
other
things,
and
we
get
updates
when
there
are
changes
in
planning
law.
So
that's
the
kind
of
thing
I
wish
that
we
could
have
that
kind
of
quality
of
training
for
everything
and
I'm
sure
that
officers
will
take
on
board
my
hopes.
AL
AM
Believe
we
are
talking
of
more
constructive
and
more
effective
scrutiny
and
the
pre
decision
scrutiny
of
item
after
item
after
item
for
10
minutes
20
minutes
30
minutes
at
a
time
does
not
deliver
effective
scrutiny
and
that,
therefore
we
have
a
difference
in
how
we
approach
it,
but
not
actually
about
the
importance
of
scrutiny
and
I.
Think
that
is
fundamental.
I
was
going
to
comment
on
comments
made
by
councillor
Clark,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
note
there
that,
when
I
said
that
we
were
wanting
to
make
a
scrutiny
more
effective.
AM
I
did,
however,
want
to
conclude
by
referring
to
councillor
Meads
comments
and
I'd
actually
put
this
bang
before
re
made
his
comments
because
I,
don't
doubt
the
commitment
of
all
to
make
this
plan
work,
but
I
do
believe.
There
needs
to
be
a
reporting
and
monitoring
mechanism
to
ensure
that
ordinary
members
of
council
receive
assurance
that
the
action
plan
is
progressing
and
it
actually
seems
to
me,
and
the
thought
of
already
is
Cinderella
with
the
boot
fitting.
AF
Thank
you
Lord
now,
Bundrage
could
be
used
as
a
witch-hunt
or
an
opportunity
to
improve
efficiency.
I,
don't
burn
witches
and
I.
Think
most
of
the
people
of
Bristol
want
a
more
cost-effective
Council.
So
the
next
few
minutes
I'm
going
to
talk
about
how
we
get
out
of
the
silo
thinking
and
get
more
teamwork
with
departments
and
with
members
hundreds
recommendation
to
talks
about
a
clear
allocation
of
responsibility
on
changes
down
to
directorates.
That's
a
good
thing
to
do,
but
that
can
lead
to
silo
thinking.
So
how
do
we
square
that?
AF
On
Fridays
audit
finance
officer?
Explain
how
the
new
delivery
working
group
is
going
to
work
where
they're
looking
at
the
hundred
one
hundred
and
fifty
cost
savings
and
other
changes
that
are
coming
through
and
that's
across
directorate
team,
and
that
seems
a
good
thing
to
do.
But
I
think
Bundrage
recommendation
should
apply
to
all
change
initiatives,
whether
it's
costs,
constitutions
commercialization.
The
lot
and
I
want
to
give
three
examples
of
the
type
of
thing
we
want
to
try
and
stop
so
silo
example:
number
one
in
planning
in
residence
parking
zone
areas.
AF
Developments
are
often
not
allowed.
New
parking
permits,
okay,
but
traffic
department
haven't
been
able
to
enforce
that
through
the
traffic
regulation
orders,
so
we've
been
creating
these
clauses,
but
no
possibility
for
implementation.
Fortunately,
some
gentle
banging
of
heads
together
is
now
getting
that
working
silo.
Number
two
I
won't
talk
too
much
more
about
this
and
that's
the
tree
maintenance
decision,
which
was
taken
by
one
of
the
departments
who
neglected
to
consult
properly
with
their
colleagues
and
certainly
with
members
number
three.
AF
We've
been
urged
by
neighborhoods
to
have
residents
to
raise
money
to
help
fund
local
initiatives
and
that
we've
got
some
who
want
to
help
with
a
pedestrianisation
air
and
some
bike
stands.
Highways
have
now
told
us
they
won't
accept
private
money
for
that
type
of
thing,
because
it's
got
to
go
to
the
statutory
consultation.
I
haven't
got
around
to
the
banging
of
heads
on
that
one,
yet
in
fact,
I'm
quite
fed
up
with
banging
heads
together.
AF
This
budget
report
has
got
so
much
potential
for
good
as
its
heart
undred
is
about
getting
officers
and
councillors
to
talk
and
work
together.
That's
all
we're.
After
a
behavior
change,
a
Kabat
cabinet
in
May
Marvin,
you
might
remember
me
presenting
the
bond.
Read
compliance
checklist
whereby
any
change
has
to
be
checked
off
by
the
different
departments.
Is
there
a
business
plan?
Is
it
clear
and
transparent
had
they
talked
to
members?
Have
they
talked
to
columns?
Okay,
I
think
you
can
get
something
like
this
embedded
in
the
organisation.
N
O
Man,
firstly,
I'd
like
to
say
that
being
involved
for
a
number
of
years
in
this
council
and
there's
been
different
administration's
in
charge
and
different
takeovers.
Never
whichever
party's
been
in
charge,
have
we
seen
anything
as
bad
before
quite
shocking,
and
you
know
no
no
parties
than
anything
like
that.
O
I
think
that's
a
warning
signal-
and
this
is
not
a
personal
remark
about
the
mayor
system
being
potentially
more
dangerous
than
the
system
that
we
had
before,
because
there
was
people
who
were
theoretically
in
positions
of
power
who
clearly
didn't
know
what
was
going
on
and
should
have
known
what
was
going
on
and
the
oversight
by
Batman's
councilors,
which
is
hundred
says,
should
be
there
just
wasn't,
and
that's
extremely
concerning
I
refer
to
the
councillor.
Clark's
remark
with
regard
to
the
Constitution.
O
Yes,
I
sat
on
that
all
party
working
group
over
the
last
year
with
members
from
all
parties
when
we
came
up
and
examined
quite
a
number
of
options
and
came
up
with
some
number
of
suggestions
and
then
within
a
couple
of
days.
It
seems
like
most
of
them
were
ripped
up
and
it
was
decided
by.
The
administration
of
things
were
going
to
be
dramatically
different
without
much
explanation
with
no
proper
discussion
and
actually
without
which
documentation
either.
X
O
O
One
of
the
things
that
the
mayor
said
when
this
came
out
was
that
there
was
going
to
be
bundler
were
actually
gonna,
dig
deeper
and
have
a
look
at
some
more
detail.
We
found
out
earlier
on
today
that
Bundren
will
report
to
the
chief
officer
and
councillors
will
not
see
it
I'm
sorry,
but
does
that
not
say
it
all?.
I
Thank
you,
I
mean
a
number
of
issues
raised
a
number
different,
elevations
I
come
to
see.
Gary's
point
I
mean
just
just
pick
it
up
on
a
few
themes
that
were
raised.
Some
of
the
talks
about
trust,
I
think
Trust
is
absolutely
essential.
I
would
also
say
one
of
the
challenging
things
about
trust.
More
look
at
in
the
closed
circle.
There
is
that
trust
isn't
garnered
by
having
a
robust
conversation
and
then
somewhere
in
a
way
and
tweeting
and
getting
in
the
post
about
the
full
range
of
arguments
that
they're.
You
know.
I
If
we
won't
trust,
we
have
to
behave
in
a
trustworthy
way.
It
doesn't
just
come
because
we
asked
for
it
I
think
you
know
there
I
I,
hear
the
the
the
point
may
about
some
collaborative
working.
We
absolutely
want
to
get
to
that.
Look
at
some
of
the
major
stuff
we've
done
at
the
moment.
Not
again,
our
point
is
that
the
city
will
not
be
delivered
by
the
City
Council
working
alone,
which
is
why
we
set
up
the
city
office.
All
the
work
we've
done
in
just
a
couple
of
weeks.
I
So
we
believe
in
now
it
needs
to
happen
inside
the
organization,
and
we
want
that
to
happen
and
they're
gonna
be
challenges
and
when
it's
happened
across
the
city
as
a
whole,
I
mean
I.
Take
I.
Take
a
little
bit
of
it
does
concern
me.
I
mean
caps
are
up
cones.
You
accused
me
of
having
tendencies
or
totalitarianism.
In
a
recent
Polly
ders
meeting
I
mean
I
mean
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
were.
I
It
just
kind
of
getting
into
this
culture
and
beginning
to
contend
with
a
rule
of
engagement
that
in
everyday
life,
I've
never
seen
exist
anywhere
else.
That
kind
of
behavior.
Thank
you
well
and
anyway,
I
mean
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
what
we
you
know,
the
Bunge
review
and
I.
Think
again,
people
have
been
briefed
on
this
I.
I
Sajida
and
I
said
that
I
don't
think
it
would
be
fair
if
we
did
take
a
hit,
because
we've
done
the
thing
about
saying
that
we've
got
these
challenges,
we've
put
them
into
public
domain
and
we're
dealing
with
them.
The
fact
is,
we
don't
have
all
the
answers
right
now,
but
we
have
put
the
challenge
out
there
publicly.
I
We
talked
to
our
city
partners,
we
really
laid
it
out
there
and
in
fact
one
of
the
good
things
about
budget
is
helpful,
for
us
is
that
it
says
we're
coming
forward,
but
actually
going
through
to
stage
2
when
you
begin
to
look
at
some
specifics
these
these
are.
These
are
going
to
be
matters
around
HR
and
personnel,
and
we
can't
do
that.
You
know
in
the
same
way,
that
what
we
have
to
do
is
to
look
at
a
process
that
works
with
ahead
of
paid
service.
I
We
have
to
deal
with
that
and
again
in
terms
of
that,
what
we
said,
the
only
one
you
can
do
some
things
publicly
other
things
you
can't
do
publicly,
because
the
the
price
is
too
high
for
doing
so.
That's
the
process
we're
going
on
and-
and
you
know,
we'd
love
to
tell
everything-
everyone-
everything
that's
going
on,
not
least
because
on
occasion
it
would
mean
that
we're
not
responsible.
We
have
to
take
the
hit
for
that
and
just
say:
we've
got
a
process.
I
I
Yeah,
okay,
so
just
just
getting
a
legal
advice
as
well.
You
know
have
to
be
be
careful,
but
the
way
it's
been
commissioned
means
that
we
can't
share
that
that
information
and
yeah,
because
of
personal
information
in
employment
matters
and
unfortunately,
that's
where
we
are
I'd-
love
to
be
more
open
but
and
I
hope
we
have
a
track
record
of
showing
it.
We
want
to
be
open,
but
that's
where
we're
at
and
you
either
accept
that
or
you
don't.
B
Thank
you
for
all
your
comments.
As
I
said
prior
to
the
debate,
there
is
no
actual
decision
to
be
taken
on
this
report.
Full
council
is
also
asked
to
note
that
the
cabinet
has
approved
the
responses
set
out
in
Appendix
1
and
note
the
work
that
has
taken
place
already
in
relation
to
fulfilling
the
recommendations.
