Mikes letter Welcome to this week’s edition!!

So, what’s hot in the news this coming week? The one thing that’s on everyone’s mind is the road map out of lockdown the Prime Minister Boris Johnson has something up his sleeve I reckon. However, I can’t help but think if he reopens the schools on the 8th March as reported it will only start the downward spiral to the magical R rating increasing again as the scientist suggested on the television. As they now seem to think it’s the youngsters pushing up the cases of the virus. I for-one want to see the gyms reopen, not for my own personal reasons, but for health the mental health of everyone. And didn’t it say on the news the other day that gyms are one of the safest places at the moment. As for the pubs and the night life in Bristol it seems they are one of the hardest hit, and I think the idea that rapid testing should take place upon entering venues like this is a good thing especially if it means the pubs and restaurants can reopen sooner. Anyway, I hope everyone has a good week lined up head and I look forward to bringing next week’s news to you first online and in print.

GOVERNMENT BY SHAME Event. Outrage. Silence. Inadequate response. Outrage. Outrage. U-Turn. We have all grown accustomed to this Government’s shambling amateurism, whereby they try to ignore a problem, and then get shamed into action by an unavoidable sense of national outrage. We have seen tone-deaf responses and inadequate action preceding inevitable U-Turns across a greater sweep of public policy than any previous Government: - School exams - School closures - Free school meals - The failed Covid App that didn’t use Google/Apple technology - Covid Test and Trace - Covid border controls - Christmas

And what was done? Too little. The Government has announced a minimal package of support that vastly underestimates the scale of work required and has two huge gaps: 1. The support covers dangerous cladding only, excluding insurance (which can cost more than the removal itself), doesn’t cover fire security staff and means that when surveyors find other fire safety risks, they won’t be able to fix them.

The model is clear – try to avoid taking any action, then take minimal action, then keep a much keener eye on public opinion than was ever kept on delivering public services, in order to judge what the public will just about accept. This is what happens when governments are led by newspaper columnists who have never have a proper job in their lives. The most recent example is one of the most shameful yet – the removal of dangerous cladding from residential buildings. It is nearly four years since 72 people lost their lives in the terrible Grenfell Tower fire. During this time, far too little has been done. Thousands of people continue to live in buildings where cladding has yet to be removed. The danger to life remains, and the level of distress is palpable. The outrage 6rose. ‘Something had to be done’.

2. The treatment of leaseholders is scandalous – the Government has only funded the removal of cladding on tall buildings (over 18 metres, roughly 6 storeys), meaning that the much greater number of leaseholders in smaller buildings will be saddled with loans that will take decades to pay back. The Government has ‘dealt with’ the problem of people not being able to sell their homes, by creating a new problem of negative equity. This leads to stress, foreclosures and poverty. Once again, the Government is seeing if they can get away with an inadequate response. Don’t let them. Make your voice heard. If the outrage grows, another U-Turn becomes inevitable. Rob Logan Labour Candidate, Brislington West

Andrew has always been interested in politics but didn’t become actively involved until 2015, joining the Liberal Democrats following one of the most disproportionate general election results in history. Andrew met and joined Councillor Jos Clark as her ward partner in Brislington West and over the last five years has got involved in several local issues. Here are just a few examples:

Firstly, the Jubilee Swimming Pool. As you may know, the Labour mayor has twice tried In last week’s edition we wrote about one to shut it down. On the first occasion, Anof our candidates for Brislington West, Cllr. drew set up a petition website, which helped Jos Clark. This week, we’d like to give you to gather thousands of signatures, thereby some background information about the other forcing the Mayor to perform an embarrassing candidate for Brislington West, Andrew VarU-turn. More recently, he printed and delivney. Remember, in Brislington West you can ered 3,000 ‘Save Jubilee Pool’ leaflets and choose two candidates to represent you at spoke at Full Council against Labour’s plans. City Hall. We hope you will vote for both Jos Clark and Andrew Varney, your hardworking Secondly, the Bristol Arena. Andrew organised local team. an online survey of over 1,000 local people with more than 90% supporting the Temple Andrew was born and raised in Weston-suMeads site. The Mayor claimed Brislington per-Mare. His father was from Bristol and his residents didn’t want the arena at Temple mother was from Bath. After graduating from Meads. Andrew was able to use his survey Plymouth and Oxford Universities, he spent results to contradict the Mayor during his first a number of years teaching overseas before speech at Full Council. Of course, the Mayor finally returning to Bristol in 2008, settling first had already made up his mind to pull the plug in Knowle and then Brislington. He currently on the project. teaches at an international school in Clifton.

Thirdly, the Callington Road Link. Andrew started a petition against Labour’s plans, which currently has around 2,400 signatures. He also chaired a local meeting, which was attended by around 100 residents, got articles in the local press, made a campaign video, which has been viewed by almost 2,500 people on You Tube, and spoke at Full Council. Unfortunately, the Labour run administration are still pushing ahead with their damaging road-building scheme but you can be sure Andrew will keep fighting them. Finally, SPRING, the Sandy Park Road Improvement Neighbourhood Group. Along with Jos, Andrew was a founder member of this local group. Andrew said, ‘We’ve organised several litter picks, run incredibly popular community events, and successfully bid for Community Infrastructure Levy funding for planters to improve the street scene along Sandy Park Road’.

Jos added, ‘Clearly, as a local campaigner Andrew has achieved a great deal, but as your local councillor, he’ll be able to achieve so much more’. We believe in keeping residents up-to-date on important local issues and publish a quarterly newsletter, ‘Focus on Brislington West’.

Bristol hoteliers hit hard by Coronavirus crisis Hoteliers are hoping for a ‘hospitable’ helping hand from Chancellor Rishi Sunak when he delivers his second budget on 3 March.

“Furlough has been a lifeline for so many of us, but it will take time to recover, so we need that extended.

Bristol hoteliers say the budget is the ideal opportunity for the government to demonstrate its desire to treat their sector as fairly as other industries, which it has not done in the past.

“The VAT cut will help us provide an affordable experience for our customers, many of whom will have had financial struggles of their own. Being able to afford to come to our hotels will help boost the local economy.

Their wish-list for the budget includes extending the furlough scheme, extending the reduced rate of VAT for hospitality businesses for another 12 months, and a 100% holiday on business rates, covering the next financial year.

“The business rates holiday will help reduce our costs, enabling us to put our businesses on a more sustainable footing and go some way to securing our long-term recovery.

“As more and more people get vaccinated, Raphael Herzog, Chair of the Bristol Hoteliers the lockdown restrictions will hopefully begin Association, has written to local MPs asking to ease and in that case, we are expecting a them to urge the Chancellor to include these strong summer. measures in his budget. “Being vaccinated will make people feel He said: “I am confident that, with these more confident, but perhaps not confident measures, our hospitality businesses can do enough to holiday abroad, so we could see a their bit to help this great country build back welcome surge in staycations. People will be better and stronger than ever. desperate to take a holiday after such a long period of confinement. “We can start to employ more people, support out local supplies and build on our sense of “Bristol did quite well last summer every time local pride, investing in our premises and lockdown restrictions were eased, with lots of places. people looking for city breaks. “Most importantly, we can go back to doing what we do best, providing a fantastic experience for our customers and bringing people in our community together.

“So far this year, even with hotels open for essential workers, occupancy rates in Bristol are around 29%, compared to a national average of 24%, so with the right package of support in the budget, we can be cautiously optimistic about the future.

“We hope he will reveal a roadmap for recovery, and that this includes some clarity for our industry, and that we get treated fairly. “Despite our considerable investment in making our hotels as Covid-safe as possible, we’ve always been among the first businesses to close and the last to be allowed to re-open. “All we are asking is to be treated fairly, and in the same way as non-essential shops. We do not want to see unhelpful restrictions like a 10pm curfew, only being allowed to serve alcohol with substantial meals and a confusing tier system. “We’ve already seen conference bookings be moved to the final quarter of 2021 and into 2022 – which means the business will be there for us if we can get there, which is why we need the furlough to continue, the VAT extension and business rates holiday.

“The recovery will be a long, slow, process and we expect it to take several years for things to get back to the kind of levels they were in 2019. “Before the budget, we know that The Prime Minister is due to make some major announcements on 22 February. “We need a clear roadmap, a clear strategy, a commitment to providing us with more support, and we need to be treated fairly. “With the right support, we can recover. When restrictions eased last summer, people were quick to return to the bars, restaurants and hotels, and we hope to be able to welcome them back again this summer, knowing that we’ve got the support we need to secure our long-term future. “I also believe that the recovery of our industry can also be the catalyst to help the recovery of other important sectors within the UK.”

CAZ, All you need to know and which vehicl will be charged

Bristol City Council has set out which petrol and diesel vehicles are likely to attract a charge Motor vehicle owners are on tenterhooks waiting to find out if their car will be charged to enter a clean air zone (CAZ) in the city. Mayor Marvin Rees revealed a week ago that motorists will be charged to enter a zone covering a small area of central Bristol. Older private cars and commercial vehicles that are more polluting will be charged to enter this ‘small CAZ D’. The small charging zone was one of two options that Bristol City Council was required to consult on as it worked towards a final plan for cleaning up the city’s air. It has not yet revealed all the details in the final proposal it must submit to the Government next month, but when asked what sort of vehicles would be charged, it pointed to the details in its consultation proposals. Diesel cars According to the proposals, any diesel vehicle not complying to Euro 6 emission standards will need to pay a charge.

Petrol cars Any petrol vehicle not complying to Euro 4 emission standards will also need to pay a charge. As a guide, petrol cars that meet the standards are generally those registered with the DVLA after 1st January 2006. So the charge will apply to any petrol vehicle that is Euro 3 or older, and these are likely to be cars registered before 2006. it’s recommended you contact the vehicle manufacturer to check your vehicle’s standard if you are unsure. Hybrid cars The engine on hybrid vehicles must meet the relevant criteria for a diesel/petrol vehicle too, as set out above. The daily charge, seven days a week A spokesperson for the council said: “For both consultation options, the charges would apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week to non-compliant (older, more polluting) models of each type of vehicle. “Vehicles would only be charged once in each 24 hour period.”

As a guide, diesel cars that meet the Euro 6 standards are generally those registered with the DVLA after 1st September 2015.

The charges have not yet been finalised by the council, but current estimates could range from £9 to £100 per day, depending on the type of vehicle.

In other words, a charge will apply to any diesel vehicles that are Euro 5 or older, and these are likely to be cars registered before September 2015.

Whitehall has asked the council to find the fastest method to get Bristol’s air pollution to within legal limits.

The council initially proposed to have a diesel It is recommended you contact the vehicle ban but this was rejected by the government, manufacturer to check your vehicle’s standard which then required the council to consult on if you are unsure. two more options to solve the problem. 12

The options were the 'small CAZ D' alone, and the other option combining the 'small CAZ D' with a larger clean air zone, called a 'medium CAZ C', that charges commercial vehicles but not private cars. The local authority had hoped the road changes introduced during the pandemic to help social distancing and encourage walking and cycling would improve air quality enough to avoid CAZ charges altogether.

But Mayor Rees said on the 13th January “The evidence that has come through the modelling suggests we are going to be implementing a small area CAZ D.

Bristol’s Transit & Commercial Vehicle Spares Specialist

“This is in line with our moral responsibility to deliver clean air in the shortest possible time but also that’s going to be tested legally because the legal requirement is to get to compliance in the shortest possible time.

“A small area CAZ D seems to be the one coming out of the modelling that says it will provide that route.” The council’s full business case will go to City Hall cabinet next month before formal submission to government.

THIS WEEKS COUNCILLOR REPORT

With the news that 90% of people in the top 4 priority groups have now been vaccinated, a lot of people are naturally starting to look forward in hope to a time when Coronavirus is a manageable illness circulating at low levels within the community, and things can start to get back to something like normal.

The Strategic Outline Business Case for St Annes Station is due to be completed by June, and I hope to re-commence negotiations with WECA about the 513/4 bus services as soon as control is returned from the government. There are many unknowns of course. Will people return to work in the city centre, or will many continue In my capacity as Deputy Cabinet Member for to work from home? Transport, I have been involved in a number of conversations over the last few weeks What impact will this have on transport and about what the Labour administration wants life in general, not just in terms of the City to (and has the power to) deliver over the Centre businesses that rely on those workers, next few years if we remain in control of the but also on local neighbourhoods with more Council after May’s elections. people working from home and accessing local services. Bus and rail both feature heavily, as you would expect, although the reality of the current situation is that these are both areas over which the Council has limited influence. I have, however, already been involved in projects to try to bring forward much-needed 14

As well as transport, the recovery will also need to address issues such as the renovation of local high streets, and the provision of more shared working spaces for the self employed and people who need access to office infrastructure but only on an occasional basis. With this in mind I have continued to have conversations within the Council regarding areas such as The Concourse and the attached Brislington Hill shopping precinct, where I feel there is a lot of room for improvement and development. New working spaces would bring additional footfall, for instance, and could help to revitalise the area. There is Covid-19 related funding coming soon to help with High Streets and I am hoping that we may be included in any such regeneration efforts. Brislington certainly deserves it after having been largely ignored for many years.

Last week I also had meetings about the renovation work at Bristol Beacon, and the latest Covid-19 Surge Testing in Bristol, as well as managing to finally meet with a local resident to discuss the safety issues on Allison Road, where the current cameras are at the end of their life and due to be replaced by other measures in the near future. I will ensure that the local community are fully consulted on any future plans, as I know there have been a number of small schemes delivered by the Council recently which have taken local residents completely by surprise. This is something that I don’t think should ever happen! Tim Rippington Labour Councillor for Brislington East

O2 and Hubbub to help most vulnerable in Bristol

• •

O2 and partners demonstrate support for Bristol’s vulnerable population with local mobile device and data donation drive. Supported by The Aviva Foundation, O2 and Hubbub have the aim of donating 1,000 devices and 12 months of free connectivity to digitally excluded people across Bristol.

•

With 3 million Brits facing digital exclusion and Bristol locked down along with rest of the UK, O2 is prioritising the people that need connection the most during this time.

•

To support the campaign and donate your old smartphone to Community Calling - visit http://www.hubbub.org.uk/communitycalling

With the country still in lockdown due to the pandemic, O2 and Hubbub are further committing themselves to supporting the digitally excluded by donating 1,000 devices and 12 months of free data (6GB per month) to vulnerable people across Bristol. With support from The Aviva Foundation, Bristol beneficiaries will also benefit from money tips and guidance from financial wellbeing experts, Clean Slate, to help manage tight household budgets. The Community Calling campaign is a lifeline for people who are digitally disconnected and struggling as a result of the pandemic. Following a successful launch which saw smartphones donated in a handful of London Boroughs, Manchester and Leeds, the campaign is now rolling out to Bristol, helping people to get connected in the wake of rising inequality, poverty and employment challenges. The Bristol launch of Community Calling is directly addressing the financial exclusion that often goes hand in hand with a lack of connectivity. For those without access to the internet it’s difficult to access services and discounts that support financial wellbeing – and this has been made more challenging by the pandemic. 18

Digital connectivity has been vital over the past year: preserving economic output, helping businesses adapt and keeping us close to the ones we love. However, too many people are digitally excluded. It was recently revealed that 2.7 million UK adults (5%) were unable to access the internet in the three months before August 2020[1] - a problem which has been amplified in our socially distanced era, preventing people from accessing family, friends or other essential networks of support. In Bristol, O2 and Hubbub are working closely with award-winning education consultants Sustainable Hive, who are delivering the project on the ground, including identifying beneficiaries. The Aviva Foundation has provided funding for the roll out of Community Calling in Bristol to ensure that the campaign benefits mid-life to elderly low-income households across the city, who struggle to access financial wellbeing support. Phones will be distributed through a range of local organisations, including Bristol Drugs Project, AgeUK and Ambition Lawrence Weston, all working in partnership with O2, Hubbub and Sustainable Hive.

with local device donation drive All beneficiaries will also be able to access digital skills training at local support centres, with support from Bristol Council, as well as money guidance from Community Interest Company Clean Slate Training & Employment. Mark Evans, Chief Executive of O2, said: “Connectivity has been vital to keeping the country running during the pandemic, but if you’re unable to get online you’re likely to miss out on a lot of support. We’ve already seen the positive impact Community Calling has had on vulnerable people in London and Manchester – providing a lifeline for those most affected by the pandemic, so we’re pleased to announce this expansion to Bristol. This campaign reflects our broader commitment to be there for our customers and the wider community, whenever they need us.” Gavin Ellis, Director and Co-Founder at Hubbub, said: “It’s been heart-warming to see the positive impact receiving a smartphone through the Community Calling project has already had on so many people’s lives. Being connected to loved ones and accessing essential services is easily taken for granted but is still not a reality for too many people.

We’re excited to be working with O2 to expand Community Calling to Bristol to get more people connected and prevent unnecessary electrical waste. We’re calling on individuals and businesses with spare smartphones to donate them to somebody who needs a device to stay connected at this difficult time.” Gift your phone 155,000 tonnes of electronic waste is being thrown away each year in the UK.[2] At the same time, an average of four phones are sitting unused for every phone in use in the UK, so Community Calling is encouraging individuals and businesses in Bristol to search their drawers and get involved by donating unused smartphones. It’s easy to sign up online - you’ll receive a free-post donation kit to post your old and workable smartphone, to be refurbished by trusted partner Reconome. It will be data-wiped, sanitised and redistributed with user guides and PAYG SIM cards. Alternatively, those who don’t have an old smartphone can choose to donate the cost of one- or two-month’s top-up for the beneficiaries by visiting https://www.hubbub.org.uk/appeal/ donate-data-to-community-calling. O2 and Hubbub are also encouraging businesses to support the campaign by organising bulk device donations, offering financial contributions that can be put towards purchasing second-hand phones, or providing collection boxes in their offices (where appropriate). If you’d like to support the campaign and donate your old smartphones to Community Calling, visit http://www.hubbub.org.uk/communitycalling/ for more details.

Tortworth farm shop Butchers, bakers, green grocers, cheese mongers and cafes! Where can one find all of these things in one place? I’ll tell you where. Tortworth Farm Shop that’s where. Run by the Ball family who also have a nearby farm on the Tortworth Estate, rearing their own beef, sheep and turkey’s the shop serves up some of the best local produce around. The shop was born in 2003 when the family approached the estate owners for suitable premises. Ever since, the shop has grown. In 2013 a cafe was added to the site. The majority of their meat stock comes direct from their farm as one would expect. The fabulous array of cheese are from a selection of local producers such as Godsells and Johnathan Crump. They are always looking to spice things up with their cheeses so occasionally the shop reaches out further afield for some interesting new cheeses. A lot of the fruit and veg is supplied by a Bristol distributor and is delivered daily. This is also supplemented by seasonal produce sourced locally or again produced on the farm.

The shop like many businesses recently has felt the hardships of lockdown. However, the business has been able to respond quickly. Due to their close working relationship with suppliers and a compliment of fantastic staff behind them, they have managed to face the challenges head on. Customers have felt safe and reassured when shopping as the all of the correct practices are in place. One of the adaptations the shop made was to introduce a ‘ring and collect’ service. Customers could easily call the shop, place their order, and with no minimum restrictions that could be anything they chose, the staff would make up their list and call when it was ready. As soon as the customer arrived in their car, then a staff member would take payment and deposit the goods in the boot of their car. A genius idea that has proved to be very popular. The shop is active on social media and has launched a newsletter to keep customers up to date with what is going on. As well as this they have also started a bespoke hamper service which has proven to be popular locally and with bigger corporate clients.

Regeneration project gets £7.5m Plans have been drawn up to transform the high street in Kingswood, this has been boosted by a £7.5m investment from the West of England Combined Authority. The provisional investment, which is subject to government funding being approved, will support the local council to completely pedestrianise Regent Street through the area’s commercial and retail hub and acquire property in phase one of redevelopment. It will also go towards the restoration of the nearby Whitfield Tabernacle, a derelict 18th century church that was once the base of prominent Methodist preacher George Whitefield, into a cultural and community venue. West of England Combined Authority contribution could see the total spend on the regeneration rise to £25m, on top of a provisional award of around £12.5m from the government’s Future High Streets programme and £5m from South Gloucestershire council.

The scheme is linked to the Love our High Streets programme, an initiative West England Combined Authority announced in 2018 to improve three town centres across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. Kingswood, was selected as the pilot for South Gloucestershire. High street retail has taken quite a few blows throughout the pandemic, with lockdown restrictions forcing the temporary closure of shops selling non-essential goods. A number of recent deals involving established high street fashion brands have reflected a longstanding trend that’s seen consumers move towards online shopping and dozens of big-name chains falling into administration. So will this new scheme help bring back the people to the one popular High Street in Kingswood. Or will this be just another failed program that will see the end of the local high st and people continuing to use online stores like Asoso or BooHoo over the more traditional ways of shopping.

Kingwood Regent St, 1950

Overnight patrols stepped up Police have been seeing an increase in incidences of criminal damage and thefts from vehicles in south Bristol (Bedminster, Southville, Windmill Hill and Redcliffe) in recent weeks and are asking the public to remain vigilant. Proactive overnight patrols are ongoing in the affected areas, and we are actively appealing for information that could help us identify offender(s). As a result of our proactive patrols: Two men were arrested and charged on Saturday 9th January in relation to criminal damage and theft from vehicles in the Bedminster area. The men, aged 29 and 34 from Kingsdown, Bristol, have been released on conditional bail and will appear in court in due course. A further male was arrested on suspicion of theft and possession of a class B drug on Friday 15th January following a stop and search. The suspect has been released under investigation while enquiries continue. On Friday 26th January, police arrested and charged a 40-year-old man, from Redcliffe, Bristol in connection with criminal damage to a vehicle on Portwall Lane, Redcliffe. He was granted bail and will appear in court in due course.

However, the neighbourhood team are investigating further reports of criminal damage to/ theft from vehicles parked in the Bedminster area overnight between 14 and 15 February. Avon and Somerset police encourage anyone who has had their vehicle damaged to report it to police on 101 if they have not already done so. Please call 101, quoting reference 5221003177. Sgt Wesley Neal said: “We share the community’s concerns about this recent increase in car crime and we are endeavouring to increase our patrols at key times, especially overnight. “We’d remind residents of the importance of the importance of removing all valuables from your vehicle overnight. Don’t leave any items on display. Whilst there have been some cases of criminal damage where nothing has been taken, most offences that we are aware of have taken place where items have been left visible. “It’s vital that members of the public report any damage or suspicious behaviour to us as soon as possible. Every report we receive allows us to build a clearer intelligence picture and will help us to bring the offend ers to justice. “If you find items that have been left in the car by offenders, such as screwdrivers, gloves, or face masks, please make this clear when contacting the police.”

Endangered lemur born at Bristol Zoo

A rare species of lemur one of the most threatened in the world has been born at Bristol Zoo. The aye-aye infant, which is classified as endangered in its native Madagascar, was born a couple of months ago but was hidden away from view by its parents. It was born to mother Tahiri and her mate Peanut and weighs only 400g. Describing the moment they discovered the tiny creature, keeper Paige Bwye said: “I went to check on the aye-ayes and I saw these two big, dark eyes peering at me and I knew it was the new infant. “Our eyes locked on each other. It was a very special moment for me I had also been the first to see its mother Tahiri when she was born at the zoo five years ago.” 26

In order to protect her baby, Tahiri built a narrow corridor around the edge of her nest box in the zoo’s Twilight World enclosure with wood, wool and bamboo. At the centre of her home, she constructed a nest which kept the little lemur out of sight. However for weeks before its discovery, the keepers could hear little squawking sounds. Its sex is still to be identified and it has not yet been given a name. In the wild, aye-ayes' forest homes are being destroyed for agriculture and timber. Many are also killed as they are seen by some communities as a sign of bad luck.

five-month roadmap out of lockdown The roadmap out of lockdown in England is reported to use five stages over five months – This starts with schools on March 8th, then ending with the country being 'Pretty much normal' by July. The most up to date report suggests pubs will open in May, with some holidays being allowed from April. According to a national media source there will be four-week intervals between each step of easing us out of lockdown. Reports state the country will be back to 'Pretty much normal’ by July – However the rules around wearing masks and social distancing is most likely to remain in place. Boris Johnson is to reveal roadmap Monday, February 22nd. A source told a national media source : "The suggestion is that we would broadly go back to normal by late June or July." This is what the five-stage lockdown lifting plan could look like, according to a national media source: Stage 1 - March Schools are expected to re-open from March 8th, although it is not known whether this will be a phased return or everyone back at once. March is also expected to see some open-air mixing of households allowed, and a possible return of some outdoor non-contact sports such as golf and tennis. A reliable source reported that outdoor markets were likely to be re-opened before high street shops, as well as outdoor eateries ahead of those operating indoors. Stage 2 - From April It is said to be likely that the re-opening of holiday lets and hotels would be permitted in time for Easter at the start of April. Previous reports had suggested that selfcatering holidays within the England could be allowed by this point but only with your own household. But Brits have also been warned against booking “elaborate” summer holidays later in the year - even if they’re just in the UK - because it is “too early to say” what the coronavirus crisis will look like.

Stage 3 - Early May Pubs, bars and restaurants will reportedly be next in line to have their restrictions lifted in early May under the new plans. This will allow for a maximum of two households to be sat together indoors and the rule-of-six continuing to apply outdoors. But when pubs do re-open at last it has already been widely reported that previous restrictions, such as the 10pm curfew and "substantial meal" requirement, will be scrapped. It's also likely that 'Covid secure' measures would remain in place when they are allowed to serve customers again. Stage 4 - June A national media sources blueprint suggests that the rules for pubs and restaurants will be relaxed further by the half-way point of the year. This is said to mean that the rule-ofsix would begin to apply indoors as well as outdoors. Stage 5 - July This is the month that ministers are hoping will see a return to relative normality with the hope that life could be 'broadly normal.' The hospitality and holiday industries within Britain could be allowed to return to normal in July, it has been reported, but with social distancing measures continuing to stay in place.

However the return to lighter restrictions is on the cards it is said that people that work in offices are expected to be told to keep working from home when the roadmap is unveiled. Government scientists are thought to want to Jonathan Van-Tam said complex holidays that keep social distancing guidelines in place for cross borders or involve several households the foreseeable future. were stepping into “the unknown.” It’s now thought that all adults could be given both vaccine doses by late August as the rollout gathers pace. 28

Thing of the past unless venues get more help, say club owners

Nightclubs, bars and music venues face “extinction" in Bristol unless urgent government action is taken, and MP has warned. Some businesses have been unable to open at all since March 2020 and others have already gone under. The report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Night Time Economy has found that 85% of people working in the industry are thinking of leaving. And in total, nightclubs, bars, pubs and music venues, plus their suppliers, have made more than a third of their workforce redundant On Monday, the prime minister suggested rapid testing may provide a solution to get nightclubs and theatres open again. But a local club owner said, while they are willing to try anything, they can’t see how the idea could work. “How does it work when you have that many people turning up at an allocated time to see a band? “Do you keep them in the streets getting wet? Do you test them and tell them to come back in 20 minutes?” Michael Kill, chief executive of the Night Time Industries Association, says those in the industry have “shown great resilience in the face of adversity”.

In clubs alone the figure is 51%. Jeff Smith MP, who is chair of the group, said in a statement the industry is on its knees and warned that if businesses go under, city and town centres will become ghost towns. "We need some more support. Some grants, a business rates relief extension and furlough extension and the things that are going to keep these venues going until they are able to open fully. "But we also need a clear roadmap for when they are going to be able to open fully." But with COVID thriving in crowded spaces, opening up hasn't been an option. It's left Bristol club owners wondering how the industry can survive. “Otherwise, much of what defines a night out in the UK will be lost forever.” A government spokesperson said in a statement online the prime minister would be setting out a plan on the reopening of the economy on Monday 22nd February “in a way that is cautious but also irreversible”.

“We need more assistance and a detailed plan for reopening now,” he said.

“Nightclubs can continue to access our comprehensive package of business support worth over £280 billion, which includes a oneoff grant of up to £9,000, monthly grants of up to £3,000, various loan schemes, a business rates holiday, as well as the extended furlough scheme.”

The report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Night Time Economy has found that 85% of people working in the industry are thinking of leaving.

But for many it’s not enough... and with income from the UK’s nightlife estimated to contribute £66 billion to the UK economy, there’s a lot at stake.

But, he added, that only gets you so far.

Bristol people invited to discover the ‘soul of the city’

People interested in the ‘hidden history’ of Bristol can now pre-order the first volume of an indispensable treasure trove of fascinating discoveries from the city’s rich and diverse past. Manson’s Bristol Miscellany is being published by Bristol Books on March 22 and anyone who pre-orders it will be invited to a virtual launch on March 24 with author Michael Manson. The book began simply as a compilation of things that piqued his own curiosity as he wandered around the streets he has called home for 45 years in a quest to find the ‘soul of the city’. He said: “I’m still finding new corners, new streets, new communities even. I’d be delighted if the Miscellany helps readers to see their environment just that little bit more clearly, and maybe embark on their own voyage of discovery. “The toppling of Edward Colston’s statue in the city centre last June prompted an increased interest in Bristol’s history. It made me think that it was time for a revaluation, and I’ve very much tried to look at Bristol from ‘below’, hence the items included in the book. 38

From hidden rivers, medieval walls and public protests to links with slavery, prisons and the treatment of mental illness, Michael’s search for the soul of the city has resulted in a ‘curiosity shop’ compendium of interesting snapshots of the city. He added: ““It was thanks to being in lockdown that I gained the motivation to pull all the loose ends of my compilation together and finish the Miscellany.” Sometimes informative, frequently fascinating, occasionally shocking, the book is extensively illustrated with some striking images to help recount the city’s power and politics, business and trade, markets and fairs, law and order, mines, plague and much more. From Britain’s first female doctor to Bristol Cars, even people who think they know Bristol well are likely to discover something new to them in this book’s clearly-written, bitesize sections. Did Bristol once have its own time zone? Why is the city’s High Cross 40 miles away? Did a Bristol citizen really invent the blanket? It’s all here, and plenty more besides.

Eugene Byrne, Editor of the Bristol Times, said the new publication was: “The result of a long love-affair with the city, and a splendid introduction to all the important milestones in Bristol’s history, with plenty of oddities and surprises for those who think they know it already.” Steve Poole, Professor of History and Heritage at the University of the West of England, and Director of the Regional History Centre, described the book as: “An indispensable compendium of Bristol ephemera for streetwalking and armchair explorers alike…dig in and enjoy!” Michael has written four history books on Bristol as well as three novels. His debut work of fiction, the Bristol-based Where’s My Money?, which was published in 2015, was selected by BBC TV as one of their ‘Books That Made Britain’. He is also co-founder of the Bristol Short Story Prize and is an organiser of the Bristol Festival of Literature.

Manson’s Bristol Miscellany is available to pre-order now from the Bristol Books website, www.bristolbooks.org priced £18. Anyone who pre-orders will receive a signed copy of the book, which will be posted on or before 22 March. Purchasers will also be emailed a link to the virtual book launch which will take place on Wednesday 24 March at 12.30pm
