🚘 THE BAD CARLTON STREET CAR PARK DEAL: EXPLAINED IN 90 SECONDS
By now you've probably heard about the terrible 2012 Carlton Street Car Park deal where North Somerset Council are paying hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, for a car park that can barely be used.
I sat ...on the scrutiny panel that recently looked into this, including what options the council has to resolve this.
Here is my attempt at a 90 second summary explaining the key points.

✈️ BRISTOL AIRPORT EXPANSION: YOUR THOUGHTS
Following on from my post the other day asking people to indicate their position on airport expansion by using the very scientific method of emojis, I now have the results.
Below is the result from 110 people - a clear winner.

💬 Should the law be changed so when a politician switches party it triggers an automatic by-election?
North Somerset Council now has two Reform UK councillors. Both were elected under different banners in 2023 and have since switched to Reform UK mid-term.
I’ve long believed ...the law should change: if an elected politician defects, a by-election should be called automatically. And this should apply to any political party and those who stood as independents.
At a time when trust in politics is low, switching parties without asking the public’s permission only erodes that trust further.
