The
transformation
of
temple
meads,
including
three
new
entrances,
will
create
a
world-class
transport
hub
with
capacity
for
22
million
passengers
each
year.
Making
the
city
better
connected
and
easier
to
get
around
forged
around
the
new
bristol
university
enterprise
campus
temple
quarter
will
be
a
new
innovation
district
that
creates
22
000
jobs,
including
construction
jobs
over
10
000
homes
and
a
1.6
billion
pound
annual
boost
to
the
city
economy.
A
The
ambition
is
for
a
livable,
vibrant
well-connected
center,
with
a
mixture
of
homes
for
families
and
others
supporting
an
accessible
and
resilient
leisure
and
retail
offer,
day
and
night
at
froome
gateway,
our
first
climate,
resilient
housing
and
mixed
use.
Development,
we're
working
with
the
community
and
developers
to
create
at
least
1
000
new
homes,
new
workspace
and
improved
green
spaces.
A
Looking
north
in
south
mead
work
starts
soon
on
a
community-led
development
at
glencoin
square,
creating
120
new
homes,
a
health
center
library,
better
cycling
links
and
community
space.
It
will
create
over
300
jobs
and
benefit
40
local
businesses
and
employers
directly
shaped
by
local
people.
The
development
will
meet
the
needs
and
aspirations
of
current
and
future
residents
nearby
over
half
of
new
homes
at
two
development
sites
at
lock,
lee's
will
be
affordable,
giving
more
people
the
opportunity
to
own
or
rent
their
own
home.
A
A
It
will
host
cultural
sport
and
music
events
and
bring
500
jobs
and
a
1.5
billion
pound
boost
to
the
local
economy
at
avonmouth.
In
the
northwest
of
the
city,
100
million
pound
investment
in
a
flood
management
and
ecology
works
program
has
kick-started
the
transformation
of
60
hectares
of
underused
land
into
the
new
avon
mouth
and
seven
side.
A
Enterprise
area,
creating
opportunities
for
thousands
of
new
jobs,
a
new
junction
to
the
m49,
full
fiber
broadband
and
a
skills
academy
will
connect
employers
in
the
area
to
local
communities,
providing
new
jobs
and
opportunities
to
reskill,
supported
by
improved
transport
links
and
the
numerous
businesses
expected
to
locate
there.
The
enterprise
will
provide
an
estimated
358
million
pound
boost
to
the
city
economy
at
the
entrance
to
bristol's
historic
harbour.
A
The
aspiration
of
western
harbour
is
to
create
a
vibrant
neighborhood
which
responds
to
the
needs
of
the
city
and
local
communities,
featuring
homes,
retail
and
leisure,
and
high
quality
public
open
spaces.
It
will
maintain
and
celebrate
links
to
the
water
and
its
unique
setting
across
the
river
to
the
south.
Five
brownfield
sites
will
come
together
to
create
bedminster
green
centered
around
improved
open
spaces.
It
will
have
excellent
transport
links
to
enable
active
travel
and
make
the
area
more
sustainable
alongside
1500
homes.
A
A
The
development
includes
new
office
and
retail
space,
a
large
public
park,
a
new
south
bristol
skills
academy,
a
new
primary
school
and
community
and
sports
facilities
at
nearby
jessup
park
on
the
heart
cliff
campus
site.
Thirty
percent
of
350
homes
will
be
affordable
with
social
rent
and
shared
ownership
options
and
priority
lettings
for
local
residents.
A
The
city's,
sustainable
and
inclusive
growth
will
be
underpinned
by
better
transport
connectivity,
supported
by
bus,
prioritization
and
suburban
rail
improvements.
Four
mass
transit
lines
will
connect
communities
across
the
city
region,
routes
to
the
north
and
east
of
the
city,
as
well
as
towards
bath,
and
through
the
south
of
bristol
to
the
airport
will
create
reliable,
low
carbon
sustainable
travel.
The
transformative
impact
on
our
transport
network
will
better
connect
people
to
jobs
and
opportunities.
B
B
Following
this
introduction,
caleb
parkin,
our
city
poet,
will
read
his
second
official
poem.
Then
we'll
have
our
two
youth
mayors
alice
toll
and
john
wayman,
who
will
speak?
We
will
then
show
a
short
film.
We
are
bristol
and
then
we'll
go
straight
into
mayor,
marvin,
reese's
state
of
the
city
address.
B
I
will
then
rejoin
marvin
for
interview
and
answering
the
questions
that
we've
been
asked
and
others
we've
already
had
53
questions
submitted
and
we'll
try
and
get
to
as
many
as
we
can,
but
I
do
apologize,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
to
them
all.
If
you'd
like
to
ask
questions
arising
from
the
presentation
today,
you
can
do
so
in
the
ask
a
question
box
on
the
platform,
and
you
can
also
join
the
chat
and
comment
as
you
go
along
and
finally,
we're
delighted
to
have
with
us
tonight.
B
C
The
first
poem
that
I
wrote,
a
city
poet
I
wanted
to
do
something
quite
celebratory
and
I
wrote
a
party
poem
and
I
felt
that
it
took
its
own
shape
and
form
as
a
party
and
for
this
piece
I
wanted
to
do
something
quite
different
and
more
contained
I've
written
a
sonnet
for
the
poetry
geeks
among
us.
It's
a
shakespearean
sonnet,
but
hopefully
you
won't
really
hear
the
rhymes
or
be
able
to
tell
that
that's
what
it
is.
C
The
reason
I
did
this
is
I
mean
this
year
has
been
so
unruly
and
incomprehensible
that
I
felt
like
it
needed
a
container
and
so
for
me,
a
form
like
a
sonnet
is
a
way
of
doing
so.
It
kind
of
evolved
from
the
idea
of
windows
windows
have
become
so
important
this
year.
You
know
we
look
through
windows
to
outside
during
lockdown
we're
now
seeing
with
the
lockdowns
in
halls
of
residence,
the
students
spelling
out
messages
on
their
windows
and,
of
course,
all
the
rainbows.
We
saw
on
windows
2.
C
C
In
january
we
went
window
shopping
for
the
year.
We
imagined
peered
in
at
february's
deepening
grays
next
door,
the
lights
in
march,
flickered
view
obscured
before
april's
rainbows,
flattened
onto
window
panes,
and
by
may
families
huddled
into
phone
screens
new
tv
channels,
streamed,
eulogies,
looped,
bad
news
june
displayed
school,
a
mosaic
of
faces
or
a
dream.
C
D
Mayors,
just
gotta
get
this
off
so
good
evening.
Everyone
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
tonight
so
we're
bristol's,
two
youth
mares,
my
name's
alice
and
I'm
currently
a
student
at
bristol
grammar
school
and
my
fellow
youth,
med
john,
will
be
talking
to
you
in
a
minute
we're
also
members
of
bristol
city
youth
council,
which
is
incredibly
exciting.
D
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
speak
tonight
due
to
social
distancing.
We
can't
be
up
here
together,
which
is
incredibly
weird,
but
hopefully
over
the
course
of
our
two,
hopefully
interconnected
speeches
we'll
be
able
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
youth
council
as
well
as
the
work
we've
been
doing
personally
as
youth
mayors
today,
and
hopefully
move
on
to
our
message
for
young
people
of
bristol
at
the
end.
D
So
what
is
the
youth
council?
We
thought
this
would
be
a
really
important
place
to
start,
because
not
everyone
knows,
despite
our
best
efforts.
Youth
council
is
not
something
everyone
knows
about
and
we
have
a
standard
response
that
we've
all
sort
of
adopted
to
this
question.
We're
a
group
of
37
young
people
that
represent
the
views
of
young
people
to
the
council
and
its
partners.
But
what
does
that
really
mean?
D
The
youth
council
is
a
group
of
37
young
people.
We
have
32
elected
members
aged
11
to
18,
as
well
as
five
co-opted
members
from
local
youth
forums.
The
groups
we
currently
have
represented
and
I've
got
to
get
this
right-
are
young
carers,
freedom,
youth,
children
in
care,
council,
unity,
youth
forum
and
wessel's.
Listening
partnership,
we
represent
the
views
of
young
people
in
bristol
and
are
elected
every
two
years
in
bristol's
big
vote.
D
D
D
So
what
have
we
been
able
to
do
as
youth
mayor?
So
far,
and
it's
a
bit
of
a
tricky
question-
I
mean
our
term
was
disrupted
by
covid
being
elected
in
february.
We
were
right
in
the
midst
of
it,
and
our
term
of
officers
looked
slightly
different
from
previous
youth
mayors,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
haven't
been
working
incredibly
hard.
D
We
have
also-
and
perhaps
most
excitedly
launched,
an
international
organization
which
is
slightly
scary.
So
in
august
we
launched
the
international
youth
matters
association,
which
has
taken
off
to
be
something.
I
don't
think
any
of
us
could
ever
have
imagined
we're
a
group
with
currently
over
40
members
and
still
expanding
invitations
are
going
to
scotland
as
we
speak
and
we're
coming
from
very
many
lots
of
different
countries.
D
I
think
we
have
about
six
at
the
moment
and
it's
a
group
where
we
come
together
and
work
together
as
youth
mayors
and
we're
so
excited
to
see
where
it
goes
now
more
than
ever
is
so
important
to
create
international
ties,
especially
in
light
of
brexit,
and
also
covert
making
us
all
so
much
further.
Apart
meeting
with
the
international
youth
members
association
is
the
highlight
of
my
month,
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
where
it
goes.
It's
an
incredibly
exciting
and
rewarding
piece
of
work.
D
Obviously,
before
I
hand
over
to
john,
I
can't
not
talk
about
the
elephant
in
the
room
covered
19.
The
reason
that
we're
currently
all
sat
here
like
this
we're
delighted
to
be
able
to
be
here
tonight
in
person
at
this
event,
and
we
understand
that
this
is
a
privilege
that
we've
been
afforded
due
to
the
measures
that
are
currently
in
place
and
that
privilege
is
not
lost
on
us
and
in
order
for
the
people
of
bristol
to
maintain
some
of
these
freedoms.
D
D
E
Hello,
my
name
is
john
wayman.
I
am
a
student
at
north,
bristol
post
16
and
I
am
bristol's
other
youth
mayor.
So,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
brilliant
work
that
alice
has
described,
we've
worked
on
bristol's
belonging
strategy,
looking
at
young
people's
sense
of
connection
to
the
world
around
them.
We
also
created
a
survey
trying
to
gather
young
people's
voices
on
how
covert
and
lockdown
have
affected
them,
which
we
have
recently
published
in
a
report.
E
In
addition,
I
have
done
my
own
work
as
a
youth
mayor
early
on
in
lockdown,
I
spoke
on
oxford.
Youth
strike
for
climate's
youth
in
politics
live
stream,
and
I
also
wrote
a
piece
supporting
the
recently
launched
bristol
history
commission,
which
discussed
the
importance
of
presenting
a
diverse
historical
narrative
to
young
people,
and,
of
course,
all
of
this
has
been
going
on
alongside
our
regular
monthly
meetings
with
marvin,
who
continues
to
be
incredibly
supportive
of
the
work
that
both
the
youth
mayors
and
the
youth
council.
E
E
F
I
J
F
H
L
L
So
I
got
three
just
to
start
three
main
reflections
on
the
year.
First,
covid
is
testing
every
system.
We
depend
on
our
education
system,
our
food
system,
our
transport
systems,
our
democratic
systems,
our
economic
system,
and
while
we
have
our
heroes,
who
have
fought
to
keep
things
going,
the
systems
themselves
have
been
found.
Wanting
school
and
exams
have
been
missed.
L
Viruses
get
disproportionate
opportunity
to
attack
vulnerable
individuals
through
weaknesses
in
our
systems.
It
has
exposed
our
inequalities,
it's
those
in
the
lower
socioeconomic
groups
in
overcrowded
housing,
frontline
jobs,
black
people,
asian
people,
poor
people,
those
with
pre-existing
health
conditions
who
have
been
hit
hardest
by
covid
and
the
consequences
of
the
lockdown.
L
Think
back
to
those
early
reports
from
wuhan.
If
you
were
like
me,
you
cared,
but
it
was
one
of
those
crisis
over
there.
I
think
back
to
the
global
parliament
emmaus
conference,
we
hosted
in
bristol
in
2018.
nearly
a
hundred
mayors,
their
staff,
the
united
nations,
the
world
health
organization.
All
in
bristol,
we
focused
on
three
priorities:
urban
security
and
migration
made
sense
to
me.
The
third
was
city
preparedness
for
pandemics.
L
So
I
want
to
begin
by
expressing
my
sympathy
and
condolences
to
all
those
families
who
have
experienced
loss.
I
think
particularly
about
those
who
have
lost
loved
ones
and
not
been
able
to
hold
the
funerals.
Families
would
have
wished
and
then
having
to
grieve
in
isolation
alone,
and
the
losses
we
have
faced
have
not
just
been
about
death.
Many
people
have
lost
jobs,
personal
relationships
and
their
financial
security.
L
L
L
L
I
want
to
mention
caring
in
bristol
and
the
cheers
drive
project
our
care
workers
looking
after
people
in
their
own
homes
and
in
our
care
homes,
our
foster
parents,
those
who
had
to
shield
and
those
who
came
forward
in
response
to
our
appeal
for
more
families
for
bristol
children,
bristol's
cleaners
in
hospitals,
health,
centers
in
all
buildings.
We
now
know
just
how
critical
they
are,
our
hoteliers,
who
worked
with
us
to
provide
shelter
to
our
homeless
retail
workers,
who
kept
local
shops
and
supermarkets
open
and
delivery
drivers
who
kept
shops
and
homes
supplied.
L
Of
course,
I
need
to
mention
the
bristol
food
union
feeding
bristol
bristol
food
banks
and
the
hunger
programme.
Volunteers,
like
the
dawates
islami
charity,
a
mosque
based
food
bank
and
particularly
the
work
of
james
edwards
projects
and
partnerships,
manager
of
the
bristol
city,
robins
foundation,
and,
I
must
add,
adam
tutton,
chief
executive
of
the
bristol
rovers
community
trust.
L
We
owe
so
much
to
our
teachers
and
school
support
staff
for
getting
kids
back
to
schools
and
meeting
the
educational
and
pastoral
needs
of
children
when
they
were
at
home
under
lockdown
parents
who
have
balanced
family
life,
homeschooling
and
work,
and
our
postal
and
logistics
workers
from
the
royal
mail
to
amazon.
They
have
literally
continued
to
deliver.
L
We
owe
huge
thanks
to
our
community
centres
and
the
people
that
work
in
them
the
people
and
places
open
their
doors
to
often
isolated
people
and
keep
communities
together,
places
like
lotley's
community
orchard
project
and
the
venge,
as
well
as
their
near
neighbours.
South
me,
development
trust
and
the
greenway
center
and
the
volunteers
of
the
ardar
community
trust
breathing
life
back
into
community
places
that
were
in
decline.
L
L
We
want
to
thank
bristol
waste
crews,
who
continue
to
collect
our
rubbish
and
clean
our
streets,
our
park,
services
teams
and
park
volunteers,
our
housing,
responsive
repairs,
team
and
tenant
support
groups,
and
I
want
to
thank
our
cemeteries
and
crematoria
teams
who
have
stepped
up
in
incredibly
difficult
times
together.
We
have
lived,
worked
and
cared
for
others
in
a
way
that
has
kept
communities
safe
and
supported
those
in
vulnerable
situations.
L
We
have
the
scientific
challenge
of
fighting
the
virus
itself,
protecting
the
national
health
service
and
that
search
for
a
vaccine,
but
we
have
to
face
up
to
the
reality
that
a
vaccine
will
not
come
down
and
cover
us
with
an
impenetrable
shield
that
will
allow
us
to
return
to
life,
as
we
once
knew
it.
We
need
to
prepare
now
for
the
new
normals.
L
By
august,
70
000
people
of
eligible
employment
in
bristol
were
furloughed.
That's
30,
000,
that's
30
of
our
employees.
That
was
a
third
higher
than
at
the
end
of
may.
It
was
the
highest
among
16
to
25
year
olds,
where
44
of
eligible
employees
in
that
age
group
were
furloughed,
bristol's
economy
has
has
at
least
8
000
fewer
jobs.
L
L
Looking
at
the
furlough
numbers
can
guide
our
understanding
of
projected
jobs
at
risk,
so
in
the
region,
78
of
workers
in
the
accommodation
and
food
services
sectors
were
furloughed
72
in
the
arts,
entertainment
and
recreation
sector,
63
in
construction,
42
percent
in
the
wholesale
retail
and
motor
trade
sectors,
huge
numbers
of
jobs
that
will
undoubtedly
be
at
risk.
In
a
prolonged
recession,
4.5
percent
of
the
uk
workforce
is
employed
in
the
cultural
and
creative
industries.
That's
over
10
000
workers
in
bristol
70
of
those
are
or
have
been
furloughed
and
many
are
further
at
risk.
L
56
percent
of
film
and
tv
production
companies
have
cancelled,
planned
work.
Events
and
festivals
have
lost
11.5
million
visitors
nationally
average
combined
weekly
loss
of
incomes
across
the
city's
cultural
organizations
range
between
three
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
and
three
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
pounds
with
predictions
that
many
organizations
have
exhausted
unrestricted
reserves
by
the
end
of
the
autumn.
L
The
combined
economic
impact
on
our
museums
is
over
35
million
pounds
lost
nearly
two-thirds
of
festival
and
event.
Organizers
were
forced
to
cancel
planned
events.
42
of
the
large
outdoor
indoor
festival
and
live
events
responded
identified
a
5
million
pound
loss
due
to
cancellations
in
summer
2020,
with
a
further
six
million
six
and
a
half
million
pound
impact
on
the
wider
supply
chain.
L
L
We
anticipate
inequality
widening
it
is
the
most
vulnerable
and
working
people
who
will
take
the
biggest
hit
from
the
downturn,
and
it
is
they
who
will
be
least
well
placed
to
benefit
from
any
economic
upturn
when
it
comes,
hardship
will
be
particularly
pronounced
in
lower
super
app,
lower
super
output
areas
in
neighborhoods,
from
hartcliff
to
hill
fields,
from
lawrence
hill
to
lochley's
and
lawrence
western
further
and
rising
infection
rates.
A
winter
spike
alongside
the
usual
winter
pressures
on
the
nhs
will
build
pressure
on
our
health
systems.
L
We
face
business
failures
and
rising
unemployment,
our
return
to
evictions,
burnout
of
workers
in
public
services
and
schools,
a
spike
in
mental
health
pressures
and
maybe
a
more
dramatic
public
reaction,
along
with
greater
community
tensions
and
rising
crime
and
as
need
in
the
city
rises.
We
in
bristol
are
joining
other
local
authorities
across
the
country
in
challenging
national
government
to
face
up
to
the
reality
that
the
amount
of
financial
support
they
are
providing
is
not
enough
to
enable
us
to
meet
the
scale
of
need.
L
At
the
city
gathering
in
the
summer
of
2018,
bristol
was
presented
with
a
plaque
declaring
us
a
city
of
hope.
As
with
all
such
declarations,
there
was
much
about
the
possibility
that
is
in
us
and
what
we
want
to
be
as
they
are
about
what
we
actually
are
hope
isn't
really
an
attitude,
belief
or
status.
It
is
something
we
continually
work
to
create.
L
I
have
often
cited
the
proverb:
suffering
produces
perseverance,
perseverance,
character
and
character.
Hope
the
suffering
we
are
facing
can
be
a
step
toward
hope,
but
the
movement
from
suffering
to
perseverance
is
not
guaranteed
without
support
and
leadership
suffering
can
pull
people
and
communities
apart.
L
L
L
The
vulnerability
of
older
citizens,
black
asian
and
minority
ethnic
communities
and
key
workers
who
are
commonly
poorly
paid
with
fewer
welfare
protections
points
to
a
truth
so
far,
barely
acknowledged,
namely
that
no
matter
how
effective
a
treatment
or
or
a
protective
a
vaccine.
The
pursuit
of
a
purely
biomedical
solution
to
covert
19
will
fail.
L
Unless
government
devises
policies
and
programs
to
reverse
profound
disparities,
our
societies
will
never
be
truly
coveted
19
secure
and
he
continued.
Our
societies
need
hope.
The
economic
crisis
that
is
advancing
towards
us
will
not
be
solved
by
a
drug
or
a
vaccine.
Nothing
less
than
national
revival
is
needed.
Approaching
kovite
19
as
a
syndemic
will
invite
a
larger
vision,
one
encompassing
education,
employment,
housing,
food
and
environment,
viewing
covert
19
only
as
a
pandemic
excludes
such
a
broader
but
necessary
prospectus.
L
This
speaks
to
the
warning
that
we
and
other
local
authorities
have
made
to
government
since
the
beginning
that
this
crisis
is
short-changed.
If
we
only
measure
it
in
terms
of
nhs
capacity
and
icu
beds.
This
is
a
social
crisis,
and
unless
we
deal
with
the
underlying
weaknesses
in
our
society,
we
will
be
constantly
vulnerable.
L
The
themes
that
horton
points
out
resonate
with
the
foundations
of
our
approach
to
bristol.
We
will
continue
in
our
commitment
to
deliver
them
unemployment
with
bristol
partners.
We
have
developed
our
economic
renewal
strategy
and
we
will
deliver
on
it.
We
must
increase
the
city's
resilience
and
sustainability
alongside
enhancing
the
social
and
economic
well-being
of
every
community.
L
L
Four
million
pounds
will
be
made
available
this
year
and
six
million
pounds
next
year
to
support
recovery,
we're
asking
government
to
front
load
investment
in
our
green
infrastructure,
to
bring
forward
funding
for
infrastruct,
to
bring
forward
funding
for
infrastructure
in
jobs
and
to
support
the
local
supply
chain,
while
also
allowing
us
to
benefit
from
the
decarbonisation
of
economic
growth.
From
now,
investment
in
this
area
will
allow
us
to
capture
the
benefits
of
decarbonising
our
economic
growth
right
now.
Investing
in
temple,
meads
will
bring
homes,
jobs
and
a
renovated
train
station.
L
L
We
will
rebuild
our
flood
defenses
for
the
21st
century
and
beyond
and
renew
the
city's
bridges
and
harbour
walls.
We
will
also
continue
to
make
bristol
attractive
to
investors
in
the
uk
and
around
the
world,
along
with
former
prime
minister
gordon
brown
and
labour
mayors
and
leaders
from
across
the
country.
L
I've
written
to
the
government
to
request
a
boost
for
their
job
retention
schemes
in
the
aerospace
industry
and
other
key
sectors.
Along
with
my
colleagues
from
the
core
cities
network
and
the
city's
trade
union
leaders,
we
have
asked
this
government
to
do
more
to
protect
jobs,
support
key
industries
and
do
as
much
as
governments
in
other
european
countries,
and
we
want
to
deliver
these
quality
jobs.
L
We
have
now
been
officially
recognized
by
the
living
wage
foundation
as
a
living
wage
city.
This
is
more
than
1
750
people
earning
the
real
living
wage,
reducing
the
risk
of
inward
poverty
for
hundreds
of
families
we're
driving
our
economy
by
can
coming
together
with
local
authorities
and
businesses
from
cardiff
and
newport,
from
swandy
from
swansea
to
swindon,
gloucester
and
bath
to
launch
the
western
gateway.
It
provides
us
with
a
place
at
the
government's
table
alongside
the
northern
powerhouse
and
midlands
engine.
L
L
Now
we
have
to
invest
in
communities
in
sustainable,
led
industry
and
in
social
economic
infrastructure,
as
the
res
has
recently
been
said
by
the
center
for
progressive
policy
having
borrowed
at
record
levels
now,
we
must
invest
in
local
economies
and
local
institutions
that
can
deliver
rapid,
systemic
and
sustainable
change
with
the
devolution
white
paper
delayed
and
a
lack
of
commitment
to
localizing
solutions
when
that
is
clearly
required.
I
echo
the
comments
of
the
archbishop
of
canterbury,
justin
welby,
who
said
the
new
normal
of
living
with
covid19,
will
only
be
sustainable
or
even
endurable.
L
L
We
have
built
up
a
council
housing
program
of
over
1
200
homes,
the
largest
council
housing
development
program
in
this
city,
for
over
35
years.
When
we
add
the
pipeline
of
projects
to
our
housing,
our
housing
company
is
working
on
this
rises
to
almost
2
500
council
homes
to
be
built
in
bristol
the
days
I
visit
people
in
their
new
homes,
often
the
first
time
a
family
has
had
a
quality
stable
home
are
the
best
days
in
the
job.
L
L
The
kinder
homes
we
build
and
where
we
build
them
will
be
the
biggest
determinant
of
our
environmental
footprint,
reducing
our
carbon
emissions
and
impact
on
nature
and
wildlife
and
on
covid
building
homes
that
build
communities
means
people
will
live
within
the
kind
of
social
support
networks
that
we
have
seen
are
crucial
to
our
resilience
and
our
ability
to
overcome
shocks
on
education.
We
are
delivering
on
thousands
of
work
experience
placements
continuing
the
reading
city
project,
keeping
libraries
open.
L
We
are
supporting
the
commission
on
race
equality
to
increase
diversity
in
our
teaching
staff
and
increase
this
and
increasingly
spend
for
children
with
special
educational
needs
and
disabled
children.
Expanding
classroom
spaces
and
building
new
schools
on
food.
Tackling
child
hunger
has
remained
a
key
focus
as
one
of
my
core
2016
pledges.
L
We
have
delivered
with
partners
in
feed
in
bristol
another
scheme,
set
out
our
ambition
to
achieve
going
for
gold
standard
and
and
exploring
plans
for
food
growing
schemes
in
every
ward
in
the
city
to
support
sustainability
and
tackle
food
poverty
on
the
environment.
We
are
working
with
partners
through
the
environment
board
to
deliver
our
climate
change
response
plan,
accelerating
our
work
to
complete
pedestrianization
of
the
old
city.
A
bus
gate
at
bristol
bridge
closure
of
baldwin
street
to
through
traffic
are
steps
towards
cleaner
air
and
healthier
more
vibrant,
retail
and
entertainment-led
city
center
areas.
L
Rather
than
expanding
the
simplistic
and
outdated
residents
bargain
zones,
we
are
working
with
communities
towards
livable
streets,
improving
the
public
realm,
enhancing
public
transport
and
active
travel.
We
are
seeking
more
powers
to
tackle
solid
fuel,
burners
and
polluting
construction
equipment.
L
L
L
We
need
to
plan
and
build
our
future
against
the
likelihood
of
future
sharks,
while
reducing
the
contribution
we
make
to
the
likelihood
of
future
shocks.
That
is
why
we
have
put
the
economic
recovery
strategy,
climate
strategy
and
ecological
strategy
at
the
heart
of
our
planning.
We
built
these
strategies
to
deliver
the
sustainable
development
goals.
L
We
have
a
strong
local
commitment
to
tackle
global
challenges
through
local
initiatives
and
collaboration
through
the
global
goals.
We
will
harness
the
private
public,
voluntary
and
academic
sectors
in
solutions,
poverty,
hunger,
public
health,
well-being,
education,
equality,
clean
air
and
water,
clean
energy,
decent
jobs,
innovation,
sustainable,
inclusive
growth,
climate
wildlife
and
habitat
justice
partnerships.
L
The
sustainable
development
goals
underpin
the
way
we
work
and
will
underpin
our
recovery.
Our
journey
to
hope
these
global
goals
will
allow
us
to
contribute
also
to
the
conversations
happening
right
now
around
the
world,
amongst
the
global
network
of
cities
who
are
stepping
up
to
lead,
while
national
governments
flounder.
L
L
L
There
will
be
no
certainty
from
the
top,
and
so
we
must
familiarize
ourselves
with
the
principles
of
how
kovid
is
passed
on
from
one
person
to
another
and
allow
this
knowledge
to
shape
our
behavior
to
keep
ourselves
and
others
safe,
and
I
want
to
reflect
once
more
on
our
commitment
to
being
a
city
of
hope.
It
is
our
it's
in
our
one
city
plan,
it's
in
bristol
city
council's
corporate
strategy.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
marvin,
just
to
remind
people.
My
name
is
andrew
kelly
from
festival
of
ideas
and
I'll
be
hosting
the
post
state
of
the
city
address
interview
session
marvin.
I
I
wanted
to
start
by
this
has
been
a
bruising
year
for
everyone.
Really,
what's
the
impact
been
on
you
and
and
how
are
you
feeling.
L
It's
a
challenge
right,
but
actually
I
was
on
a
call
today,
every
wednesday
between
12,
30
and
1
30..
We
have
a
what
we
call
the
city
leaders
call
leaders
from
police,
universities,
transport
schools,
voluntary
sector,
creative
sector
care
homes
and
15
20
people
come
together
to
connect
and
to
talk
about
our
impact
on
the
city.
B
B
Today's
times
I
think
the
third
editorial
to
mention
you
actually
is
and
praise.
You
in
fact
talked
about
it's
essential
that
local
government
is
given
the
powers
that
it
needs.
What
powers
would
you
like
to
have
now
that
you
don't
have
currently
whether
it's
to
deal
with
this
crisis
or,
more
generally,.
L
So
I
have
a
frame
for
that
question
because
I
think
people
see
you
want
a
checklist
of
this
that
and
the
other
stuff
that
you
can
just
control.
To
be
honest,
the
biggest
the
biggest
need
I
have
now-
and
I
think
the
city
needs
to
be
able
to
take
control
of
its
future-
is
to
get
certainty
over
that
future
investment
package.
L
We
want.
We
want
that.
One
of
the
best
things
government
could
do
to
help
us
to
begin
to
get
organized
is
to
make
solid
declarations
about
the
investment
package
coming
our
way.
Mass
transit
temple,
meads
house,
building,
flood
defense
rebuild
our
harbour.
Walls,
invest
in
our
bridges.
If
we
had
that
declared
right
now,
we
could
begin
to
organize
our
local
supply
chain.
L
Our
skills
base
build
the
inclusive
economy.
Without
that
certainty,
it's
that
uncertainty
that
robs
us
for
your
opportunity
to
plan
and
when
you,
when
your
planning
ability,
is
undermined,
you
lose
power.
So
it's
not
just
a
checklist
of
decision
making
opportunities
passed
down.
It's
about
the
framework
in
which
we
work
that's
essential,
but
right
now
I
would.
I
would
welcome
the
child.
I
I
just
think
what
I
would
like
government
to
do
is
talk
to
us
much
much
earlier
about
its
covid
response
plans.
L
L
Okay,
we're
in
government
sudden
our
finance
team
are
hearing
about
an
announcement
for
business
support
packages
going
home
that
night
trying
to
work
out
what
that
means
for
bristol
city
council,
while
all
the
with
all
the
you
know,
questions
start
coming
in
when
we
find
out
the
same
time
as
everyone
else,
it's
no
way
to
run
a
no
way
to
run
a
country,
so
more
certainty,
more
more
extreme,
and
I
like
government
to
actually
talk
to
us.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
whatever
they
declare
is
locally
appropriate
10
o'clock
curfew
is
a
classic.
L
Our
concern
is
a
10
o'clock
curve
for
you
in
that
hard
stop
means
that
people
are
being
passed
from
an
in
coveted,
secure
environment,
to
a
covered,
insecure
environment,
on
the
streets.
All
at
the
same
time,
mass
congestion,
it's
an
unintended
consequence.
We
know
what
the
intention
was,
but
the
only
unintended
consequences.
There's
an
enhanced
risk
to
a
population
could
have
talked
to
us
about
that.
We
have
more
control
over
how
it's
implemented
locally.
B
L
Well,
we
need
to
be.
I
certainly
think
that
certainly
government
would
have
heard
the
message
of
the
need
to
talk
to
authorities
across
the
country
before
they
steam
our
head
and
that's
not
just
about
I
mean
if
you
come
and
talk
to
us
in
bristol
right.
If
the
government
say
I
want
to
come
and
talk
to
bristol,
I'm
not
just
going
to
pitch
up
with
myself.
L
You
know-
and
you
know,
deputy
mayor
and
a
few
council
officers
I'll
come
with
business
west
with
our
universities
with
our
cultural
sector,
with
our
voluntary
sector
with
our
police,
we
will
come
as
a
collective
and
begin
to
talk
about
the
city's
systems.
That's
just
the
way
we
work
down
here
now
so
again,
it's
not
government
needs
to
understand
it's
not
just
about
the
balance
of
power
between
it,
a
conservative
central
government
and
a
labor
and
local
authority.
That's
not
how
we're
running
things.
B
L
H
L
Was
that
I
mean
there
was
promise
you'll,
remember
andrew,
when
david
cameron
came
to
bristol
to
launch
the
whole
merrill
initiative
in
2012
and
whenever
it
was,
you
know
there
was
talk
about.
There
will
be
regular
meetings
between
the
mayors
and
the
prime
minister
that
never
come
to
that.
Never
happened.
B
L
Well,
I'm
not
going
to
make
a
cheap
point
here,
but
I
will
say
that
what's
been
great
is
that
the
leader
of
newcastle,
nick
forbes
has
been,
and
his
leader
leader
on
labor
on
the
lga,
has
been
attending
shadow
cabinet,
which
is
great
and
just
legally
chirping
in
you
know,
engaging
and
there
have
been.
There
have
been
conservative
ministers
who
have
been
very
proactive
on
the
city's
agenda
and
listening
to
cities
and
that's
and
that's
been
very,
very
welcome.
L
Historically,
you
know:
we've
lost
a
couple
of
those,
unfortunately,
but
we
we
still
think
there
was
a
kernel
of
of
hope
in
there.
I
think
eddie
lister
who's,
who
went
from
chair
of
holmes,
england
into
to
work
for
boris
johnson's,
been
you
know,
real
good
support
for
the
city's
agenda
as
well
in
there.
So
you
know
there
is
hope.
B
Let's
move
on
to
some
other
questions,
one
one:
we've
had
a
number
of
questions
about
housing
and
you
covered
a
number
of
elements
of
that
in
in
your
state
of
the
city
address
one.
The
number
of
people
asked
about
homelessness
and
it
seemed
for
a
while
that,
given
the
the
government,
support
and
kobe
did
got
almost
overnight
sold
the
homelessness
problem
in
a
way
you
know
in
what
it
did.
What
are
your
fears
about
that
beginning
to
come
back
again.
L
Well,
I'm
I'm
fearful
of
it
coming
back
in
the
face
of
the
economic
depression
and
the
you
know,
with
the
removal
of
protections
against
evictions
that,
as
I
said
in
my
speech
there,
we
we
face
a
prospect
of
increasing
levels
of
homelessness
that
may
not
even
be
in
your
face
street
homelessness,
rough
sleeping,
it
would
be
the
invisible
homeless,
people
in
temporary
accommodation,
sofa
surfing
staying
with
other
members
of
the
family.
That
is
a
real.
You
know
a
real
concern
for
us.
L
L
I
mean
there's
a
fantastic
story
as
a
friend
of
mine,
esther
that
works
at
what
used
to
be
called
the
crisis
center,
which
is
now
called
hope
on
stables
and
road
working
with
rough
sleepers,
and
she
said
that
a
guy
came
to
her
door
delivering
food
and
she
recognized
him
as
one
of
the
guys
they
spoke
with.
It
was
homeless
and
he
had
a
job
now
and
she
said
you
know
wow
amazing,
to
see
you
and
he
said
yeah.
L
L
It's
also
going
to
be
around
housing
supply,
a
fundamental
challenge
of
having
enough
homes
for
people
that
we
we
have
to
bring
through,
and
that's
that's
been
massively
challenged
by
brexit
by
covering
the
impact
that's
had
on
the
construction
sector
as
well
and
we're
but
again
we're
continuing
to
say:
can
we
get
that
front
loading
of
the
investment
from
government
to
keep
that
sector
moving?
We.
B
L
Well,
we
need
the
money
to
to
make
it
financially
viable.
We
what's
also
lost
there's
a
point
I've
made
from
my
beginning
from
about
a
year
into
my
time
in
office.
We
face
a
lot
of
campaigns
about
specific
frontline
services,
save
this
and
save
this
building
save
that
service,
but
no
one
ever
campaigns
for
the
back
room
staff,
the
lawyers,
the
planners,
the
housing
officers-
and
these
are
the
people
that
actually
keep
the
cogs
of
the
city
moving
they're,
the
ones
who
identify
land
ready.
L
It
write
for
the
grants
from
government
broker
the
broker
the
deals
and,
do
I
say,
enter
into
the
negotiations
with
developers
when
they're
contesting
what
share
you
know
what
share
of
any
development
can
viably
be
brought
forward
as
affordable.
You
know
that's
an
accountancy
game
as
well.
That
needs
to
be
proven
so
so
that
backroom
capacity
is
going
to
be
really
essential.
I
will
share
that.
L
Only
recently,
we
sat
in
a
room
and
with
our
executive
director
of
growth
from
regeneration,
looked
through
all
the
things
we
wanted
to
do
in
bristol.
It's
a
fantastic
list:
big
infrastructure
projects,
flood
defense,
all
the
things
I
mentioned,
and
we
actually
started
to
say
right
what
we
what's
our
priority.
You've
always
got
to
have
priorities,
but
it
was
a
painful
process
because
there
were
things
that
we'd
like
to
do
that.
L
We
simply
have
not
got
capacity
to
do
because
of
the
size
of
local
authority
is
up
to
10
years
of
austerity
at
the
moment.
So
that's
a
that's
a
painful
process
we're
having
to
face
up
to,
but
again
that
city
leaders
group
that
we've
got
that's
the
place
where
we
can
talk
about
these.
These
things
that
begin
to
talk
about
how
we
support
each
other.
B
L
L
Right
people
sit
at
the
intersection
of
decisions
made
by
us,
the
health
service,
that
we
don't
control
the
universities
that
are
small
towns
within
bristol
the
police
force,
which
is
again
it's
his
own
organization
with
its
own
elected
political
head
of
honesty.
So
I
don't
control
everything.
So
the
question
is:
how
can
we
bring
all
of
those
kind
of
forces,
as
it
were
together
around
a
smaller
number
of
shared
priorities?
L
You
should
do
some
things
before
others
every
year
up
to
2050
to
get
there,
and
the
plan
is
important
if
I
can
take
space
to
use.
One
swear
word
as
a
friend
of
mine
is
in
the
army.
He
says:
make
a
plan.
Any
plan
just
make
a
bloody
plan.
You
know,
and
it's
about
just
putting
something
down
on
paper.
We
can
change
it
now.
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
the
way
the
the
city
office
has
worked.
I
think
really
well
and
it's
and
it's
how
it's
empowered
civil
society
so
there's
an
environment
board.
L
We
have
six
boards
leading
six
strands
within
that
one
city
plan
as
an
environment
board
in
december
last
year,
ian
barrow
who's,
the
chief
executive
of
avon
wildlife,
trust
in
the
environment
board,
said
it's
fantastic.
We've
declared
a
climate
emergency,
it's
great
we're,
making
we're
doing
work
on
the
the
climate
strategy,
but
that
won't
in
and
of
itself
solve
the
ch
the
threat
to
nature
and
species
extinction.
L
So
we
need
to
take
nature
into
account,
so
he
said
that
so
I
said
neil
and
it'd
be
great
to
hear
some
more
about
that
by
february.
Ian.
Had
worked
up
a
paper
that
he
brought
to
cabinet
declaring
an
ecological
emergency
in
bristol
the
first
declaration
of
ecological
emergency
in
the
country
in
september,
we
launched
the
city
ecological
strategy.
It
was
not
just
about
the
council,
it's
about
the
zoo,
about
the
universities,
the
health
service,
how
we're
going
to
collectively
work
to
arrest
species
extinction
and
promote
life
in
biodiversity
within
the
city.
L
The
council
didn't
write
it
what's
happened
is
there's
space
for
it.
Civil
society
organization
came
through,
wrote
it
and
led
the
city,
and
even
wildlife
just
done
an
incredible
job
on
it,
and
that's
a
real
challenge
for
us
now,
but
it's
about
not
being
afraid
of
having
challenging
documents,
put
forward
30
percent
of
land
over
to
promote
nature
reduction
of
the
use
of
pesticides
by
a
harvard
use
of
pesticides.
These
are
city
challenges,
but
they're
ones
that
we
are
going
to
grapple
with
now.
B
And
I
was
going
to
come
on
to
the
climate
emergency
and
the
the
ecological
emergency,
because
I
wanted
to
ask
you
how
you
you
know
there
was
a
big
push
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
on
these
there's
been
the
the
big
campaigns,
the
school
strikes
and
so
on,
and
it
felt
like
you
know,
there's
been
many
false
dawns
with
the
environmental
movement
and
you
think
progress
is
being
made
and
then
it
falls
back.
But
there
was
real
momentum
to
do
developing
that
it
seemed
to
me.
B
L
So,
first
off
momentum
can
continue
it's
just
that.
Not
everyone
knows
about
it,
and
it's
not
always
loud
so
I'll
give
you
the
classic
example
would
be
colston
hall.
Now
the
beacon
center,
the
momentum
about
the
changing
of
the
name,
never
let
up
right,
it's
just
that.
It
wasn't
loud
momentum
and
it
ultimately
came
out
with
the
you
know.
L
L
The
the
environment
board
is
driving
those
with
and
influencing
the
other
strands
in
the
city
plan
around
housing,
transport,
education
skills,
health
and
well-being
and
the
economy,
we've
got
the
sustainable
development
goals
at
the
heart
of
what
we
do,
we're
we're
actually
being
cited
as
a
leading
city
on
the
world
stage
in
in
sdgs.
In
fact,
someone
from
the
commonwealth
local
government
forum
said
that
he
cites
two
cities
when
he
talks
about
the
sdgs
kigali
in
bristol,
which
is
like
incredible
right.
L
We
and
there's
a
source
of
humility
with
that,
because
we
know
all
the
weaknesses
in
our
city
I'm
acutely
aware
of.
You
know
other
weaknesses,
but
nonetheless,
people
are
talking
about
at
what
we
do,
but
the
urgency.
Andrew
comes
back
to
that
point.
I've
made
earlier.
We
need
government
to
front
load
investment.
L
So
when
I,
if
I
go
to
mayoral
gatherings-
and
I
was
actually
on
the
phone
to
someone
from
oberlin
society
foundation
yesterday
and
talking
about
this-
I
don't
want
to
go
to
more
mayoral
gatherings
where
mayors
stand
around
and
tell
each
other
stories
about
great
projects,
they've
done
in
particular
communities.
If
I
go
to
a
merrell
gavin,
and
the
mayor
tells
me
about
we've
done
a
fantastic
job,
putting
green
walls
all
over
the
city
and
it's
cleaned
up
our
air
quality
and
it's
made
the
place.
Look
fantastic.
L
My
first
comment
would
be
sounds
fantastic.
My
second
comment
is:
how
much
did
it
cost
right?
It
costs
money
to
do
this
stuff.
If
we
put
green
walls
up-
and
we
didn't
have
the
expertise
to
to
maintain
them,
they
would
soon
become
brown
walls
of
dead
plants.
It
costs
money
to
do
stuff.
It
costs
money
to
deliver
a
mass
transit
system
to
deliver
zero
carbon
homes,
all
that
stuff
costs
money,
and
we
need
that
money
front
loaded.
That
looks
like
momentum
right
and
that's
what
people
see
and
experience
the
change.
That's
happening!
L
That's
why
we're
constantly
banging
on
about
it.
Let's
get
the
investment
front
loaded,
let's
keep
us
moving.
While
we
have
this
window
of
opportunity
and
we
can
begin
to
benefit
from
the
decarbonizing
of
growth
right
now,
so
that
actually
the
growth
we
need
is
decarbonized
by
d
by
by
definition
rather
than
growing,
and
then
trying
to
retrofit
social
justice
and
climate
friendliness
onto
it.
After
the
fact,
it's
too
late,
then,
but.
B
Can
I
just
push
you
on
two
issues?
The
first
is
about
clean
air
because
we
had
a
lot
of
questions
on
that
and
there
was
you
know.
One
of
the
things
about
the
pandemic
was
a
huge
reduction
in
traffic
on
the
streets
on
the
roads
for
quite
a
time
and
the
air
just
felt
cleaner.
Actually
I
mean
how
can
we
maintain
that,
in
terms
of
the
wider
issues
that
you
know,
things
like
the
sustainable
development
goals
and
so
on
you're
talking
about.
L
So
we've
tried
to
capture
that
that's,
and
that
is
actually
the
way
we've
put
it.
We've
tried
to
capture
that
benefit
by
introducing
the
changes
to
the
way
traffic
moves
around
the
city
highest
profile.
I
guess,
is
the
introducing
a
bus
gate
on
bristol
bridge.
The
closure
of
bouldering
streets
are
through
through
private
cars,
only
to
buses
now
and
the
pedestrianization
of
the
old
city,
and
you
people
have.
You
know
they're
not
pretty
at
the
moment,
but
it's
because
it's
been
done
quickly.
L
L
B
There
were
some
specific
questions
about
mass
transit
which
I'll
leave
for
the
the
office
to
answer.
But
but
another
issue
which
has
been
mentioned,
which
was
was
with
us
before
the
the
pandemic
started,
was
about
the
future
of
of
international
travel
and
particularly
about
the
future
of
bristol
international
airport,
and
that
is
going
to
come
back
as
almost
certainly
as
an
appeal.
And
so
on
I
mean
what
do
you
think
about
the
future
of
international
travel
and
in
terms
of
of.
L
The
airport
and
so
on.
Well,
I
think
international
travel
can
be
very
different
because
people
have
got
used
to
zoom
and
you
I've
participated
in
another
resume
calls
with
mayors
from
around
around
the
world.
I
was
on
one
with
c40,
chaired
by
mayor
garcetti,
yvonne
sawyer
from
mayor
garcetti
he's
the
mayor
of
los
angeles.
L
Chair
of
c-40
also
sits
on
the
mayor's
migration
council,
with
myself
and
with
yvonne
from
freetown
who
sits
on
the
mayor's
migration
council
and
his
is
a
superstar
mayor
from
the
continent,
the
african
continent,
and
that
was
easy
and
I
think
we've
got
used
to
that
culturally
used
to
it,
so
it
reduced.
In
fact,
I
will
say,
with
the
global
parliament
and
mayors
about
this
time.
L
Last
year
I
tried
to
get
us
to
take
on
a
commitment
to
have
mayors
around
the
world
commit
to
reducing
their
their
collective
travel
by
about
fifty
percent,
their
collective
air
miles
by
fifty
percent.
It
was
just
before.
C-40
was
just
a
bit
difficult
to
get.
The
whole
pitch
worked
up
and
mechanics
of
it,
but
we
will.
You
know
we
will
see
that
and
and
the
air
air
travels
not
going
to
come
back
for
for
many
many
years,
which
is
what
people
are
recognizing.
L
L
Now,
if
we
do
stuff
without
giving
people
viable
economic
alternatives,
we
could
end
up
with.
Well,
you
get
the
woke
moment.
You
know
I've
got
the
t-shirt.
I
was
on
the
right
side
of
history
and
I
made
the
right
statement,
but
what
you've
done
is
you
showed
up
for
yourself
a
horrific
kind
of
politics
in
medium
to
long
term,
reactionary
that
denies
climate
change
and
and
so
forth?
L
So
we
have
to
do
them
both
at
the
same
time,
just
about
being
wise,
as
I
said,
to
a
friend
of
mine
every
day
from
extinction,
rebellion
being
right,
isn't
enough,
you
have
to
have
a
plan
and
you
have
to
understand
society,
and
you
have
to
have
to
understand
how
you
get
that
through.
If
being
right
was
enough,
we'd
have
ended
racism
and
sexism.
By
now
it
takes
more
than
being
right.
I
think
also,
you
know
just
yeah,
maybe
I'll
just
leave
that
one
there.
Okay.
B
Well,
let's
move
on
to
some
others,
because
we've
still
got
quite.
There
was
a
one
of
the
the
strengths
of
bristol,
of
course,
is
the
cultural
vibrancy
of
the
city
and
that's
been
heavily
affected,
as
you
pointed
out
in
the
in
in
the
address
now
yesterday,
the
arts
council
announced
through
treasury
support
the
the
cultural
recovery
program,
which
has
benefited
a
number
of
bristol
organizations
that
benefited
in
the
sense
that
it
gets
them
back
to
where
they
might
have
been,
or
or
at
least,
can
can
last
until
march.
H
B
And
hopes
for
the
cultural
sector
beyond
march
I
mean:
do
you
think
it
can
survive,
because
you
know
speaking
personally,
you
know
we
do
lots
of
events
and
we
need
more
than
15
people
in
a
room
to
make
those
events
pay,
and
this
the
whole
sector
is,
is
going
to
struggle.
I
think,
after
this,
unless
things
recover
quite
quickly,.
L
That's
my
fear.
It
says
it
on
the
tin
we're
fearful
about
the
christmas
period,
how
people
are
going
to
survive
both
in
terms
of
nighttime
events,
but
everything
that
goes
with
it
like
the
nighttime
economy,
so
actually
with
nicola
beach
and
craig
cheney,
we're
talking
about
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
as
a
city
to
use
some
of
the
outdoor
spaces
louisiana
theater.
Now
we've
got
pedestrianized
corn
street.
Could
we
do
something
there
to
and
again
in
the
winter?
What
can
we
do
to
make
those
places
a
little
bit
warmer?
L
Maybe
some
marquees
to
allow
businesses
to
expand
out
to
hold
events
in
coveted,
secure
environments.
So
we
we're
very
concerned
about
the
winter
and
yeah.
We
recognized
that
it
was
fantastic
to
get
the
good
news
for
a
number
of
our
our
cultural
sector
organizations
and
actually,
what
was
also
welcome
is
there
was
quite
a
range
of
organizations
in
there
as
well.
It
wasn't
just
the
the
usual
suspects
and
we
need
to
protect
the
usual
substances.
L
They're,
iconic,
vic
and
so
forth
are
iconic
institutions
within
the
city
that
are
critical
to
our
arts
and
cultural
offer.
But
it's
great
to
get
out
beyond
that,
as
well
as
they
would
say
too
and
but
we're
very
concerned
beyond
at
march,
and
this
is
where
andrew
the
point
I
was
making
about
working
with
government
to
give
us
some
certainty
right.
What
is
going
to
happen?
Let's
not
we've,
let's
not
end
up
the
way.
L
We've
always
seemed
to
end
up
with
local
authority
leaders
and
places
waiting
on
a
knife
edge
with
everyone
else
to
find
out
about
their
future.
Let's
sit
down
plan
it
out
all
right.
Let's
have
a
five-year
plan,
a
ten-year
plan
of
some
sort.
I
know
I
know
it's
harder
to
do
that.
The
further
you
get
into
the
future
but
have
as
in
in
a
world
of
uncertainty.
Let's
give
as
much
certainty
as
we
can,
and
you
know,
loading
uncertainty
upon
uncertainty
is
not
going
to
be
helpful
by
any
imagination.
I.
B
L
B
You've
got
you've
got
two
now
you
can
use,
so
we
had
the
youth
mayor
speaking
and
and
the
impact
on
young
people.
It
was
raised
in
a
number
of
questions
of
covid,
but
also
about
coming
back
to
university,
and
so
on.
We've
seen
there
were
a
number
of
questions
raised
about.
You
know
allowing
students
back,
but
it's
a
university
matter
and
government
matter
really,
but
what,
in
terms
of
young
people,
you
know
their
future
is
even
more
uncertain
than
ever.
B
L
L
You're
quite
young,
you've
missed
school.
You've
got
all
that
undefined
uncertainty
and
jeopardy.
That's
been
put
in
your
life.
When
I
was
a
kid
growing
up,
I
was
often
quite
terrified
of
the
prospect
of
nuclear
war.
I
had
a
plan
in
place.
I
was
going
to
run
around
to
my
nan's
house
right.
That
was
with
my
mum.
L
I
was
going
to
run
around
to
my
nan's
house,
see
her
and
then
try
and
run
to
my
aunt's
house
and
see
my
cousins,
and
that
was
my,
but
I
had
that,
but
I
also
was
aware
it
was
kind
of
a
long
way
away.
Now
we're
actually
in
a
shock
and
we're
being
told
that
they're
at
the
increasing
likelihood
of
future
shocks,
we
see
the
data
around
species
extinction.
L
We
can
see
ice
sheets
falling
off
into
the
the
ocean,
so
they
I
can
understand
this
kind
of
sense
of
what
kind
of
world
are
we
I'm
inheriting?
We
could
see
this
kind
of
mad
politics
around
championism
and
and
the
echoes
of
it
going
around
the
world.
How
do
we
end
up
in
a
situation
where
someone
like
that
ends
up
getting
elected?
I
don't
just
mean
that
it's
not
that
doesn't
start
and
end
with
him.
It's
he's
part
product
and
part
fuel
for
a
theme
within
policies.
L
L
It
just
comes
back
to
I
just
I'm
just
dying
to
get
the
certainty
in
get
the
alignment
between
the
investment
showing
that
we
are
physically
changing
our
cities,
towns
and
our
systems.
That's
what
need
to
change.
Decarbonize
transport
system,
decarbonize
energy
system,
decarbonize
waste
system
decarbonize,
so
we
can
live
in
a
way
that,
whether
we
realize
it
or
not,
is
not
killing
the
planet
and
we
can
live
in
a
way
that
facilitates
human
relationships,
social
justice,
economic
and
inclusion
and
hope.
L
L
Well,
very
practically
we
need
to
bring
the
school
places
through
as
we
are,
we've
got.
You
know,
schools
being
built
across
the
city
as
quick
as
we
possibly
can
they're
coming
through
quite
quite
quite
well,
but
I
I
think
on
the
the
future
of
education.
One
is
it's
massively
important
to
me.
It
was
my
gateway.
L
The
day
I
went
to
university,
I
felt
that
I
just
turned
the
page
in
my
book.
I
spent
the
age
from
the
age
from
14.
I
was
desperate
to
get
out
of
my
circumstances
and
then
once
I
made
cross
that
line
and
got
to
sixth
form,
I
knew
that
I
had
to
get
to
university
to
change
the
physical
and
cultural
environment
in
which
I
lived
from
one
of
almost
demoralization
and
hopelessness
that
I
experienced
so
often
growing
up
to
hope.
L
It's
a
new
dawn,
and
when
I
got
to
swansea,
I
thought
this
is
it.
You
know
I've
got
hope
now
to
move
forward,
but
I
think
the
future
of
education
is
going
to
be
in
line
with
what
we've
done,
but
it's
going
to
have
to
take
mental
health
much
more
into
account
and
that's
going
to
be
a
challenge
for
teachers,
because
they
got
a
lot
on
their
table
on
their
desk
already
the
pressures
to
get
exam
results
and
and
taking
care
of
their
own
mental
health
and
well
being
an
incredibly
stressful
time.
L
But
we're
going
to
have
to
align
personal
social
development
of
children
and
young
people
with
their
academic
level
of
attainment.
So
we're
gonna
have
to
be
pr.
We're
gonna
have
to
be
thinking
much
more
intentionally
about
personal
resilience,
not
least
because
the
thing
that's
been
added
to
challenge
children.
L
Young
people
today
is
social
media
and
the
role
that
it
has
played
in
replacing
the
normal
or
the
the
traditional
ways
of
building
up
identity
and
personal
resilience,
with
likes,
reposts,
retweets
and
and
and
and
the
role
that
I
think
that
is
playing
in
undermining
personal
resilience,
but
but
not
only
undermining
it,
but
but
removing
those
those
sources
of
strength
that
previous
generations
have
had,
because
they
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
them.
So
education
is
going
to
have
to
catch
up
with
that.
B
We
saw
a
remarkable
outpouring,
as
you
mentioned
in
the
in
the
state
of
the
city,
address
of
in
terms
of
volunteering
and
people
caring
for
each
other
and
applauding
the
health
service
and
so
on,
but
we've
also
seen
incidences
of
reports
of
loneliness,
increasing
and
and
the
the
reliance
on
on
the
social
care
sector.
Now
this
is
one
of
the
most
vulnerable
sectors
or
most
underpaid
sectors.
It's
something!
I
know
that
your
administration
has
paid
a
lot
of
attention
to.
B
L
So
on
that
leaders
call
we
have
every
week
eunice
goldsworthy's
on
that
call
who's
now
head
of
guinness.
You
know,
I
believe,
and
and
he's
a
fantastic
has
been
a
fantastic
person
in
the
city
delivering
housing
for
years
with
united,
but
is
now
there
as
well.
So
she
speaks
into
that
care
challenge
and
christina
gray.
Our
director
of
public
health
is,
is
obviously
all
over
it
and
my
cabinet
lead
for
adult
social
care.
Helen
godwin's,
one
of
the
most
experienced
counselors
incredible
counsellors
in
the
authority.
L
L
L
Many
of
our
care
and
staff
are
from
overseas,
and
we
we
do
know
that
people
have
started
to
go
home
back
to
countries
of
origin.
This
is
their
home,
but
back
to
countries
of
origin,
and
that
is
another
challenge
that
we
are
mindful
of
that.
We
haven't
heard
absolute
clarity
from
government
on
that.
That
could
be
a
major
problem
for
us
as
well
again,
it's
certainty
as
much
certainty
as
we
can
get
is,
is
what
we
need.
B
L
Just
after
we
just
have
to
put
it
in
front
of
us,
we
we
are
actually
we've
been
going
through
a
process
over
the
last
few
weeks
of
trying
to
map
out
the
world
that
is
before
us
and
we've
been
doing
that
with
our
city
partners
as
well.
So
at
the
moment
it's
a
very
unsophisticated
looking
excel
sheet
that
has
strands
on
it.
So
so
some
of
the
key
dates
like
the
end
of
furlough.
You
know
the
the
end
of
protections
against
evictions.
L
The
us
elections
is
plotted
on
it.
Their
brexit
date
is
plotted
on
it.
So
we've
got
the
key
dates
from
from
momentous
moments
is
plotted
on
this
thing,
but
so
were
the
trends
right.
So
growing
inequality
what's
happening
with
the
levels
of
domestic
violence,
so
we
can
think
ahead
and
proactively,
prepare
ourselves
for
this
the
world,
as
we
think
it's
going
to
be
rather
than
you
know,
a
headline
pops
up
or
it
jumps
upon
us,
and
then
we
we're
reacting
to
it.
L
L
That's
the
best
we
can
do
using
that
paper
as
the
basis
for
one
looking
at
our
own
planning
and
how
it
influences
the
the
refresh
of
the
bristol
one
city
plan,
but
also
how
it
shapes
our
conversations
with
other
cities
across
the
uk
in
towns
and
cities
and
with
national
government.
So
this
is
what's
coming.
Work
with
us
on
this.
B
And
it's
just
worth
noting
that
this
event
has
been
part
of
is
part
of
the
resilience
week
which
the
city
office
has
been
running,
and
there
are
events
coming
up
on
brexit
and
the
one
city
plan
coming
up
in
the
in
the
rest
of
this
week,
we're
beginning
to
run
out
of
time.
So
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
a
couple
more
and,
as
I
said
at
the
beginning,
the
other
questions
will
be
answered,
we'll
be
working
with
the
mayor's
office
on
that.
L
We
have
historians,
but
we
also
have
philosophers
a
legal
expert,
someone
who's
been
very
involved
in
community
and
colston
and
and
dr
sean
sobers,
but
also
he's
worked
a
lot
on
community
media
as
well.
So
we
have
a
fantastic
mix
of
people
and
what
they've
done
is
they've
started
to
craft
out
their
work
plan
and
how
they're
going
to
approach
it?
Two
things
I
would
say
one:
is
it's
really
important
that
they've
set
out
the
beginning?
Colston
is
the
departure
point,
but
it's
not
the
destination.
L
You
know
the
point
is
not
define
bristol's
future.
Simply
in
terms
of
this
is
not
colston
or
the
opposite
of
constant,
because
the
perversion
of
that
would
be
that
you
are
basically
defining
the
city
in
terms
of
colston
just
by
anyway.
So
coulson
is
the
launch
pad
for
an
investigation
of
who
we
are
the
way
tim
sets
it
out,
I
think,
is
quite
beautifully
and
the
first
question
is:
what
have
we
remembered
and
then
you
engage
the
whole
city.
So
that's
about
race
and
it's
about
a
cl.
L
It
has
to
be
about
black
people
within.
That
course
is
the
departure
point,
but
actually
it's
all
about
class.
It's
about
women,
it's
about
gay
people.
It's
about
disabled
people,
it's
about
the
working
class
trade
unions,
and
when
you
have
a
fuller
understanding
of
bristol's
story,
then
you'll
have
a
more
material
to
say.
Well,
actually,
this
is
what
we've
remembered
in
our
big
ground
story,
but
actually
is
that
is
that
an
accurate
reflection?
Does
that
really
portray
bristol
as
it
is
and
and
within?
L
That
is
the
other
question
what
we
chose
not
to
remember
right,
so
who's
been
forgotten
from
those
history,
so
that's
where
they
are
getting
work.
The
other
principle
is
really
important
to
to
recognize
is
that
they
will
be
reaching
out
to
community
groups
across
the
city,
so
they
are
not
doing
new
research
and
doing
stuff.
What
they're
doing
is
they're
convening
reinterpreting,
representing
existing
research
from
dusty
old
books
that
are
on
the
shelves,
but
getting
contributions
from
community
groups
from
across
the
city
as
well
like
brisbaneton
history
group,
for
example?
L
What
does
that
tell
us
about
brisbane's,
and
how
do
we
map
that
into
the
broader
themes
and
stories
that
they
are
reinterpreting
to
the
city?
So
so
you
know
my
hope,
and
I'm
very
confident
is
that
they
will
give
the
city
a
stronger
sense
of
self
and
and
and
more
mature
material
in
which
to
decide
who
we
are
and
who
we
want
to
become.
B
You've
had
you
know,
significant
events
happen
like
the
the
renaming
of
the
colston
hall
and
bristol.
Do
you
think
bristol
is
now
coming
to
terms
with
a
lot
of
these
things?
I
thought.
Certainly
the
reaction
to
the
renaming
of
colston
hall
was
was
much
better
received
than
it's
been.
The
the
arguments
have
been
in
the
past,
for
example,.
L
I
would
say
recognizing
the
fact
that
we're
gonna
have
to
live
with
each
other
after
no
one's
going
anywhere,
so
we
need
to
work
in
a
way.
That
means
that
if
you
get
what
you
wanted,
you
feel
respected.
You
feel
you,
you
know,
you
feel
that
bristol
is
your
home.
If
you
don't
get
what
you
wanted,
you
still
feel
bristol
is
your
home.
L
B
L
I'd
say:
housing
has
been
hard
because
it
took
a
re-orientation
of
the
authority.
It
took
that
I
say
it
took
taking
resources
away
from
the
arena
in
many
ways,
something
that
people
weren't
going
to
live
in
the
legal
power.
The
planning
power
and
saying
actually
bristol's
priorities
are
delivering
houses
for
people,
and
it
was
a
it
was
a.
It
was
a
real
challenge.
L
Can
I
say
one
of
the
hardest
moments
as
well.
In
my
time,
actually,
my
office
will
laugh
because
I'm
always
talking
about
the
arena
was
the
decision
of
temple
me
temple
island.
Look,
it
came
to
the
point.
We
knew
that
there
was
a
political
decision
and
there
was
the
right
decision
and
the
discussion
was
there:
do
you
make
the
political
decision
or
you
made
the
right
decision?
The
political
decision
is
easy.
You
know
took
50
million
quid
off
the
delivery
price
there.
L
You
go
bristol,
here's
your
arena
on
temple
island,
but
the
finances
of
that
were
disastrous
for
the
city
and
we
made
the
right
decision.
Even
though
people
are
saying
this
is
going
to
lose
you
the
election.
But
if
I
can
indulge
me
for
a
moment
angie,
if
we
had
borrowed
160
million
pounds
to
build
an
arena
and
we
were
trying
to
open
it
right
now
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic,
we'd
have
160
million
pound
empty
building,
making
no
revenue
against
which
we'd
be
making
our
mortgage
repayments.
L
L
I
think
the
biggest
regret
was
watching
the
the
usual
ping
pong
of
party
politics
begin
to
reassert
itself.
I
said
that
there's
only
so
long.
I
can
hold
and
hand
out
to
you
where
you
keep
chewing
on
my
fingers.
You
know
no,
nobody
would
what
they
say.
You
know
fool
me
once
shame
on
you
fool
me
twice.
Shame
on
me
and
at
some
point
you
just
have
to
say
you
know
what
this
is.
L
It's
not
mature
enough
to
facilitate
that
those
kind
of
relationships
and
that
was
really
disappointing
and
to
accompany
that
is
in
in
to
some
degree
and
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
it
here,
but
but
just
the
the
poor
quality
of
some
of
the
civic
debate,
and
I
said
this
around
colston
coming
down,
you
know
it's
not
just
national,
it's
local,
but
you
know
most
issues
are
a
lot
more
complicated
and
nuanced
than
they're
presented.
You
can't
capture
it
in
a
statement
or
or
an
easy
headline
or
a
point
of
conflict.
L
You
know
most
things
are
you're
kind
of
80
right.
Someone
else
has
got
a
point
of
view
or
actually
you're
saying
you
know
what
you're
right,
but
I'm
right
too.
What
we
do
is
have
these
two
things
that
are
right
at
the
same
time
or
we've
got
two
things
that
are
bad
at
the
same
time
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
take
the
least
worst
option.
Covert
is
an
example,
the
medical
threat
and
the
economic
threat.
L
It's
an
example
of
that
and
the
loss
of
space
to
have
those
kind
of
discussions
in
the
city
is,
I
think
it's
actually
one
of
the
biggest
threats
to
the
health
of
our
democracy.
That's
how
trump
got
in.
He
was
great
media
fodder
and
he
got
massive
profile
because
he
gave
you
the
conflict.
He
gave
you
the
sensation.
L
He
did
not
give
you
the
nuance.
He
didn't
give
you
the
well
that's
a
good
point
but
kind
of
arguments,
and
I
think
it's
a
huge
threat
to
us.
As
you
know,
and
it
poisons
our
stories,
is
it
the
west
african
author?
You
know
I
quoted
it
said:
if
you
want
to
destroy
people
poison,
the
stories
they
tell
about
themselves
and
lots
of
poison
stories
floating
around
the
city,
that's
a
real
disappointment
and
it's
a
challenge
we
need
to
take
on
and.
B
That's
something
which
we'll
be
doing
more
on
next
year
in
terms
of
issues
around
the
future
of
democracy,
yeah,
freedom
of
speech
and
so
on.
We
are
out
of
time,
I'm
afraid,
and
I
did
promise
to
nikki
that
I
would
end
on
time,
given
the
valiant
work
that
she's
been
doing,
but
I'm
sorry
we
couldn't
get
to
at
least
80
of
them
now
over
100
questions
we've
been
given,
but,
as
I
said,
the
mayor's
office
will
respond
to
those
questions
later
on
we'll
post
them
on
our
blog.

If
you
want
to
know
more
about
things
like
the
history
commission,
we've
got
an
event

18th
of
november,
