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."
