"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."
