Neighbourhood Partnership Co-ordinator's Report
Kurt James will present this report.
Minutes:
Neighbourhood Partnership Review Update
The NP noted the NP Review Update. It was noted that there were proposals by the Boundary Commission for the Easton Ward to transfer from the Bristol West to the Bristol East Parliamentary Constituency. There were a series of meetings taking place throughout the city as part of this consultation.
It was also noted that, in the event that the Central and Harbourside Ward joined this NP, there was the potential to receive a significant amount of CIL funding.
Action: None
Resident Parking Scheme Review
The NP noted the Resident Parking Scheme Review.
Following concerns expressed by a number of NP members at the proposals within the review, it was agreed that this issue should be added to a future Agenda and that Councillor Mark Bradshaw (Cabinet Member for Transport) and Peter Mann (Service Director – Transport) should be invited to attend.
It was noted that Councillor Jude English, in her capacity as Chair of the Place Scrutiny Commission, would be writing a letter to Mark Bradshaw concerning this issue.
NP Members made the following additional comments:
(1) The proposals would have a massive effect on local traders, many of whom did not have English as a second language. A large number of people felt angry and excluded at the proposals;
(2) The results of the consultation needed to be published – the process must avoid becoming a tick-box exercise;
(3) There were practical issues to consider as part of the review, such as how people might get a large amount of shopping back to their home on a bike;
(4) Councils should not use parking reviews as a means of obtaining income;
(5) The review is not fit for purpose.

Action: None
