Campaign for a better Broadwalk that works for all, not developers. We want a planning system and civic leaders who are democratic, not deferential to power.

The Broadwalk JR is GO! Permission has been granted by the High Court. Hoping @BristolCouncil will now begin out-of-court negotiations to save public funds being wasted on defending a @MarvinJRees ego project!! @bristol_citizen @stillawake @Totterdown_ @AudreySuzanne @Hevans_11
.@EE how can I contact you with no access to a cellular network?! The new SIM you sent me isn’t working. I can’t contact customer services because I don’t have phone signal, I can’t log into the app without access to my SMS.
Can I contact you via email whatsapp or online chat?
Ed is being generous here… Hopkins latest ramblings show that he knows far far less about the new plans than almost anyone else in knowle, he didn’t come to the public meetings so now he’s just making wild assumptions rather than simply asking us for a factual update…
It’s very nearly time to show Knowle what we’ve been up to since the summer. Details to follow over the next few days
Touched by @EdPlowden’s words at full council today… keep fighting, change is possible!
@EdPlowden "I am delighted to see there is now a legal agreement in place significantly to reduce the density of the proposed Broadwalk development. I’d like to thank the local community.. who managed to challenge the abuse of process in this very chamber"

Sorry to hear @Keir_Starmer using simplistic insults such as 'nimbys' & 'blockers'

Will such jibes be used against people objecting to poor quality housing developments?
@karinsmyth @KerryMP @darrenpjones
He praised the towerblocks at Totterdown Bridge 😟

@BristolCouncil - please can you provide a link to your email retention policy?
There seems to be one e.g. Information Commissioner's Office: "The Council also explained that there is a general email retention policy of 2 years"

But is it accessible?

Very true… we’re tired of having to correct this huge misinterpretation of the Call-in decision!
Broadside Holdings: “The Secretary of State at DLUHC has already examined the scheme & was happy for us to move forward."
This is NOT true.
The Secretary of State said the matter should be decided locally.

@AlexGSeabrook please report this properly.
Reasons people opposed Rees over tall buildings
-hyper-density
-low % of affordable housing
-fire safety
-health: low natural light levels, single-aspect homes
-inaccurate "biodiversity net gain"
& more

Probably not, it would have depended if he was still in role & still misrepresenting the community’s opinion on Broadwalk @BroadwalkRCG

I am one of the unfortunate people cursed with Gary Hopkins for a councillor. His "party" have been so unsupportive re. Broadwalk that councillors from other wards have actually stepped in to help us instead. Ed and Lisa included. I wish we had that calibre of councillor.

This is very good. @carla_denyer should have been able to say: you know the new Labour leader Renhard opposed Broadwalk - and stopped @bbcnickrobinson in his tracks. Detail, detail, detail.

In a 14-page Pre-Action Protocol letter, lawyers Leigh Day, acting on behalf of the Bristol Civic Society, have threatened Bristol City Council with legal action over the decision to approve a 28-storey student accommodation tower.

Indeed. Some people might think Bristol City Council is bullying Laura.

We fact-checked these Labour & Nick Robinson’s Today Programme claims that the Greens in Bristol ‘oppose housing development’.
The results are below- have a read👇🏼:

The Green Party is launching its local election campaign today, with an emphasis on affordable housing. But does the party oppose building new housing?
@BBCNickRobinson asks co-leader Carla Denyer.
