hi there,
I think I tried posting here before but as I can't see my message I'll try
again!
I was invited onto the forum by Carol Hayward, and Stephen Hilton also
mentioned it which is why I'm here. My husband and I have lived in Brislington
for over ten years now and my involvement has been limited to that of running a
flailing neighbourhood watch for my part of Bath Road whilst all the houses are
slowly being turned into flats and temporary accommodation (which makes forming
a community a little bit more of a challenge!). We also run our own business in
the centre of Bristol and walk/bus in regularly to work in the mornings, which
means that transport and access is very high up on my list of things that we
need to support.
I'm with Stephen on the point that we need to be somewhat more ambitious for
our part of the city. I don't know if you know already but both Stephen and
Carol have been instrumental in broadening the vision for the city as a whole
through Connecting Bristol, an organisation that I'm an avid supporter of,
because it seeks to improve the quality of life of our citizens through use of
technology. I'd really be interested in how the lessons learned from projects
currently raging away within CB could be applied to Brislington, with all its
characteristics and uniqueness. I'd also be very up for a discussion on how our
most vulnerable neighbours can be taken care of better. Whilst I can't make the
2nd June meeting, I'd love it if you could post the CAP when it's ready.
I know we've got some real visionaries in the group already - I hope the
partnership is able to make use of all that talent!
Best wishes,
