News from the Brislington & St Annes Neighbourhood Team
Neighbourhood Forum Meeting is the new name for PACT (Partners and Communities Together)
There are significant changes in the structure of the meetings which will now be councillor led. Meetings will be held every three months and each ward will have their own individual forum meeting.
Any issues which affect the community can be raised at these meetings; from poor lighting, dog fouling, council grass cutting / hedge trimming, anti-social behaviour, speeding, graffiti, poor paths or road conditions, fly tipping etc.
In addition to these meetings, a Neighbourhood Partnership Meeting will also be held every three months (not open to the public) which will discuss the progress of the priorities raised, and other local issues.
All the below meetings will take place from 7pm – 9pm.
Brislington West Neighbourhood Forum meeting dates are:
Tuesday 10th August 2010 Arnos Manor Hotel, Bath Road
Tuesday 16th November 2010 Arnos Manor Hotel, Bath Road

Discovering Brislington Brook
BCP is working in collaboration with the
South Bristol Riverscape project and BCC to submit a Your Heritage Lottery bid. This will enable us to employ a project worker for three years to work with a wide range of stakeholders such as schools, out of school groups, community groups and organisations throughout the Brislington Brook catchment - see
here for a map of the area. Examples of the kind of projects that will happen are:
Field studies and art work for children
Researching the history, archaeology and hydrology of the river and its surroundings
Exploring the heritage of the river corridor through guided walks, training sessions and surveys on different themes such as wildlife, history, archaeology.
Sharing stories about the brook
Researching issues of accessibility to the brook with local groups, for instance doing walking audits, to input into council policy, programmes and updating public information.
Considering feasibility of new rights of way
Reporting river issues - pollution, rubbish, condition of walkways, invasive species.
Designing an orienteering course related to the river and its surroundings for play.
Volunteering sessions to remove rubbish, Himalayan Balsam, habitat creation and woodcraft skills
Exhibitions to display work created from project
Producing a range of new resource materials on the brook e.g. leaflets
Re-enacting the Brislington Brook Pilgrimage for adults & children.
This is a wonderful project for a precious natural resource, and deserves our full support!

Neighbourhood Partnerships
Brislington Community Partnership became a Neighbourhood Partnership (NP) in 2008. NPs will assist local decision making on services and will be introduced across the city where local people can have more say in influencing delivery of services, bringing together local people, community groups, councillors, voluntary and statutory agencies.
