Protect Public Services

We are opposed to all the cuts proposed by the present government.  These cuts threaten our schools, universities, the NHS and other public services, and  they are not necessary. Regulating the financial sector must come before cuts that will damage the lives of young and old alike.

Create more green jobs in Bristol

We support the Green New Deal, which means investing in jobs that promote energy saving / generate energy using renewable resources. We could make Bristol a leader in this field using our high tech expertise. Read more

Promote the Local Economy

Supermarkets and chain stores are killing our  high streets, suppliers, and the local economy and restricting consumer choice.  We believe people should be able to buy local products and services, so supporting local jobs. Read more

Support public transport, cycling and walking

Public transport needs to be cheap, regular, direct and easy to use. Our key proposal is a new transport hub on Plot 6 next to Temple Meads Station. We also need a well maintained, and safe, network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Read more

Save our Green spaces

Green spaces are an important resource for all communities but are being sold off in Bristol for short-term gain. We can increase housing stock, by redeveloping our 7000 unused buildings, houses, and brown field sites. Read more

A good local state school for every child

All young people have the right to receive a high standard of education at their local school .We believe moves to transform state schools in Bristol into selective academies will result in many children losing out. Read more

Support local community health centres and services

We want accessible local community health centres that provide a range of services. We want support for older people and their carers in the community.   And we want a stronger, not a privatised, NHS. Read more

Make recycling and reusing of resources as easy as possible

Bristol needs a campaign that reduces our production of waste products and encourages people to come up with their own locally based plans for reducing wasted. Read more

Save energy

We support the work undertaken by the citys energy management unit. We would like to see Bristol begin to generate some of its own power and would support the ongoing wind turbine project as well as the use of the tidal lagoons and or tidal turbines in the Severn. We would do everything in our power to promote insulation and other energy saving measures as the most cost efficient way of reducing our CO2 output. Read more

Let’s work towards building strong safe and democratic communities

We believe you have the right to feel safe wherever you live in Bristol and if you feel safer you will also feel happier and prouder of the area you live in. A strong community is a safe community. Read more

We need a progressive voice in Bristol politics

In today’s tough economic climate, it is more important than ever to stand up for what we believe in. Every Green vote reminds the LibDem/Lab/Con parties that there is an alternative to their clogged roads, oil based economy, and overcrowded schools. Our councillors will work hard to focus attention on the topics that really matter: a sustainable economy, public services, quality of life, and the future of the planet.
