This doesn't count for much but we have twice as many posters up as Labour in Southville.
Good for visibility, though doesn't tell you much more
Mind you we are both struggling against the posters for a certain street party on Friday....

2 weekes 2 days, 4 bank holidays, 1 royal wedding to go
Canvassing seems to be going pretty well thus far. Our vote is holding up well, we are picking up a few votes off Labour and LibDems, although Labour seem to be better organised than last time. Interesting times, and lots of hard work to go!

Bedminster
I was sent an email about the election in Bedminster where a supporter contacted the LibDem candidate
I would like to draw your attention to a 'misleading' statement in the Focus leaflet that dropped through my door this week. In it you claim that 'Conservative and Green Party voters in Bedminster are getting behind local campaigner Ian Cooper to be our new local councillor'. Given that the Green Party are fielding their own candidate in this election (Kath Slade) I would like to know on what basis you make this assertion? Unless you are able to do so I can only assume that it was a deliberate attempt to misinform residents as to their options.
Suffice it to say, the Green Party urges Green supporters in Bedminster to vote for the real thing, not imitations!!!

Town green process
Good to see that the council today decided to defer making a decision over its proposed changes to town green applications (to bat it off to officer land). At least we will have a period of consultation now.
Tuesday 5 April 2011
Went canvassing last night for the first time
It went pretty well, vote seems to be pretty solid - lost one communist vote to Labour, and picked up 1 LibDem
The sample is too small of course, but if we pick up all LibDem votes and lose allCommunist votes, we'll be fine!
I never understand why the Communist Party vote Labour. They are in a different political party, but seem to fall into line whenever it becomes meaningful.

A coule of pictures from todays rally in London
None do justice to the sheer volume of people there mind.
No left turn
I took this photo in Whitehall this morning (a few minutes before joining the march).
I wondered if it was where Nick Clegg got his economic polices from....

AV alternative vote
We are just producing a leaflet which suggest people should support the AV system of voting. I'm a bit lukewarm about it personally, but will vote 'yes'.
I'll make a couple of comments about it here.
1. The basic advantage of it is that it allows people to vote positively with their first vote. Our politics is becoming overwhelmingly negative, many people vote against what they to be rid of, rather than for what they want
2. I think it actually formalises tactical voting. The second or third preferences are - surely a tactical decision?I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, mind.
3. The requirement for the winner to get over 50% support, well, I guess. Dawn P may well have had my third preference vote. I'm not sure what work she would have done to get it, mind. Or if she wanted it. Having a symbolic need to pass a 50% figure is difficult to argue against though.
4. I doubt if it helps parties like ours to get extra people elected. It may make it harder, but probably wont make a huge amount of difference.
5. Opponents seem to be saying that why should smaller parties have several votes when they only get one. Strictly speaking, this is incorrect - they can record second and third references if they choose to do so. They just may not get considered.
Fptp of course gives all the power to the largest minority (or majority, but usually it is a minority). With the fractionalisation of voting habits (is that a word?) it is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. We'd obviously rather see a proper system of PR. Some day maybe....

2 hrs from running out of cash?
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/alistair-darling-we-were-two-hours-from-the-cashpoints-running-dry-2245350.html
According to this report we were close to financial catastrophe a coupe of years ago.
While you can believe this or not as you see fit, it makes me think that while it is right to blame Labour for at least some of the financial mess we got in to, it is difficult to be overly critical of what they did when they were there.
To fail to save the banks was surely not an option?
It makes me shudder to think what Osborne might have got up to in the same circumstances. Some sort of thirties style economic solution? In fact, it also makes you wonder if they would have avoided the crisis i the first place. The Tory mantra has always been 'less regulation' - and yet it is arguably failure to regulate the banks which led to the dodgy lending in the first place.
You also wonder if anything is really going to happen about bank regulation. Will anyone really actually control them? We seem unable to do anything meaningful about their bonuses.
It also makes me wonder if the socialists aren't right all along. The banks quite possibly should be nationalised. Too important to our day to day lives to be allowed to fail.

Tsunami
Looking at the Daily Express today (at the dentist, I didn't buy it!), I saw pictures of a part of Japan after Hiroshima, and after the Tsunami.
It showed one of the iconic pictures after Hiroshima f an area flattened except for what I presume is some sort of religious structure (basically an arch). The same picture is reflected after the tsunami.
It is a terrifying picutre of the sheer destructive power of the tsunami, which puts our local travails into a little bit of perspective.

Planning meeting yesterday
went as expected pretty such.
Hey ho.
Disappointed with the way Lesley Alexander didn't even attempt to stop the booing of virtually every speaker against the supermarket though.

Planning meeting tomorrow
Today is the deadline for submissions to the planning meeting re Ashton Gate, so mine will go in later.
Have to say I am not overly optimistic about the outcome this time.I'm certainly a bit bemused by the LibDem decision to replace all of its members.

When 80 jobs became 5,000 at Ashton Gate
http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/Ashton-Vale-open-letter-Bristol-City-fans-town-green-campaigners/article-2664456-detail/article.html
This - and many other articles in our local press down the months have told us that thousands of jobs will be created - 5,000 according to this report.
The trouble is - the Price Waterhouse Cooper report on the stadium suggest the total will actually be....err...just 80!
It begs the question really - when the expansion in numbers took place.

Audience thrown out of council meeting
(mind you some were let back in again later)
Anti-cuts protestors were thrown out of Bristol City Council chamber today. Severe heckling being the reason given.
Well, there certainly was. (I didn't) but there were a number of very angry people - who haven't really been given the opportunity to put their point of view.....which is why they tried at the start of the meeting.

Debt
It i s particularly interesting to note that the historical level of debt we face - as a % - is actually pretty low.
Pity the government won't point this out. But insist on sacking loads of people for daring to work for the public sector.

Franc meets and cleans
The ultra light tram option
Tuesday 22nd February – 7.30pm at the Southville Centre
We have arranged this meeting to enable local people to hear the latest news on plans to develop a rapid transport route across Ashton Bridge and alongside Cumberland Road and the Chocolate Path. We shall be hearing from the Bristol Tramway Consortium, which is pressing for an ultra light tram system to be used instead of the bus rapid transit system that Bristol City Council has proposed to the Department of Transport. People on both sides of the river have mixed views about these plans, and this will be a chance to obtain more facts. The meeting will finish by 9.00pm. All welcome.
Riverbank clean-up
Saturday 26th February – 10.00am at Gaol Ferry Bridge
We will be cleaning up the Cumberland Road riverbank and part of the Harbourside Railway track. We aim to finish at around 12 noon, and you are then welcome to come for a free coffee and cake! Please wear warm, waterproof clothing and strong shoes and bring protective gloves if you have them. We will supply spare gloves and litter-pickers. Should bad weather (eg. snow, torrential rain or strong winds) cause us to postpone this event, we shall post a notice on the home page of our website (www.franc.org.uk). But let’s hope it’s a nice day!

The New Cut isn't falling down...honest
Residents of Southville and Hotwells and users of the Chocolate Path will undoubtedly have spotted the Chocolate Path landslip.
Quite a significant area of the bank of the New Cut disappeared a few weeks ago in an area not far from the junction of Beauley Road with Coronation Road.
Well, Tess Green has raised this with officers and been told
'I have consulted with both Docks and Highways and am informed that the road is not immediately at risk from the current collapse. However the situation is being monitored and stabilisation works are required.
Further discussions will be taking place shortly to discuss the way forward and the works that will be necessary.'
It would be interesting to know - given that the area appears to have increased in size - just how the council maintains and monitors the Cut.

Dodgy car use statistics - 91% single occupancy in rush hour
I walk to work ( at the Create Centre) from Beauley Road).
In recent days it is odd but I have seen almost alternating fairly clear Coronation Road with it backing all the way up to -w ell Gaol Ferry and beyond (I can't see).
So - I decided to count occupancy of cars coming in to Bristol - lorries excluded, and I curiously got to 100 at the point I turned off (the footpath down to Create past the sewage works, or whatever it is)
91 had 1 person in them, 9 had two.
Not quite statistically significant (error plus or minus 10%?) but still a lesson in the huge distance we have to go to produce a sustainable transport system - where most people travel by public transport, cycle or walk - or more to the point live near to where they work ie a true local economy....

Charlie back on the Council
Tess says,
"I am delighted that Charlie Bolton has been selected to contest the second Southville seat for the Green Party. Charlie was the councillor for this area for 4 years up to 2010 when he needed a rest from this demanding work. It is difficult to be the single councillor for a party as the council provides less support for councillors not part of a ‘group’. I look forward to having other Green councillors join me, to be in a stronger position to influence council policies and to provide a better service for residents.
Charlie worked hard on policies about climate change, by chairing or contributing to the work of committees. The good news is that not only is Bristol a leading council in this respect but that ambitious targets for carbon emission reductions are being met. This puts the city in a better position than many to face the challenges ahead. All councils will need similar achievements, which are increasingly costly with time."

New Sainsbury's retail study
Sainsburys at Ashton Gate started, as an issue, when I was young, and is still going.
Well, surprise, surprise, in what could be a nasty shock for footie fans, it seems that the latest set of retail consultants are recommending against the store. This could be significant.....
The info is all on the councils planning site but the key para 4.28 could be
'However, on the basis of the retail policy matters covered by this advice, it is our view
that the negative impacts of the proposal outweigh any positive benefits which may
accrue. In reaching this view we have given particular weight to the financial impact
of the proposal and its adverse effect upon the vitality and viability of both defined
centres in Bedminster.'
Fascinating!

Why stand?
One question I need to answer is why am I standing.
Having been councillor for Southville from 2006 to 2010, I admit to having been a bit knackered by the end of my tenure, and grateful for the rest from there on.
I suppose I have various motivations for standing this time:
Tess - well, she won the seat last May on general election day. I suppose I expected us to be swept away in the general election vote - so more credit to her and to the local party for working there socks off to get the vote out to take the seat. We now have the chance to form a group (something I never experienced) and in Southville and in Ashley, we need to take the chance!
The 'cause' - well I stood in elections for the Green Party for 20 years - joining in the first place because of its unilateralism, then being enticed by its social policies, and only latterly doing the environment bit. Now, the 'environment bit' dominates my thinking - I think I have already played a role in getting Bristol City Council to take climate change seriously, but it needs to keep taking it seriously. I can help with this.
The Cuts - this is an important time for Bristol City Council and public services generally. I register - in case people don't know my opposition to the cuts, and certainly the pace and scale of them. Unfortunately for Labour, they are tainted by their failure to manage the economy -something we Greens can't be blamed for (if only because we got nowhere near to managing one).
The opposition - I actually feel badly let down by the local Labour Party over the whole Sainsburies issue. I got on well with Sean Beynon while serving with him, but when I went to the planning meeting about Sainsburies, Tess spoke, Ben spoke, George spoke, I spoke and a whole raft of other local people spoke. Sean batted for Sainsburies. He should have batted for us! That's what he is for!
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the issue, Sainsburies is a multi-billion pound organisation - who does not need little local councillors supporting it. Local people who do this in their spare time need all the support they can get, especially from their elected representatives.
(That is about as negative as intend to get in the campaign, I think. I intend to campaign on a positive manfiesto of wha we want. Let's see if I do!)
