Out and about this week in Brislington with Jos and Andrew Another round-up of local news from your hardworking Lib Dem team. Local newsletter out now: We are currently distributing our quarterly newsletter to every household across the ward. If you haven’t received it by the end of the week, please let us know and we’ll endeavour to get a copy to you. We rely on local volunteers to help us with this task and we are very grateful for their help and support. If you can spare an hour or two every few months and would like to deliver to a street or two in your area, please message us. Rubble on road: After the recent, heavy rain, a lot of rubble has been washed off back alleyways and ended up across the junction of Hillsborough and Whitby Roads. This is a potential hazard and needs to be cleared so we have contacted the Council. Blocked drains reported: Yet more blocked drains have been spotted in the ward. This latest one is on Sandy Park Road at the entrance to the alleyway adjacent to the furniture shop. Please send us pictures and locations of any blocked drains and we’ll report them to the Council. With recent heavy downpours it’s imperative our drains are kept clear to help prevent flooding.

Recycling centre: Glad to see the recycling centre at our local branch of Sainsbury’s is being kept clean and tidy these days. We had to talk to the duty manager on a couple of occasions in the past due to the appalling litter at the site. Well done, Sainsbury’s. Now all we need are some EV recharging points! Make Votes Matter: The Liberal Democrats believe in electoral reform with a fairer voting system in which the number of seats a political party wins is in proportion to their share of the vote. This weekend we joined our friends at the Make Votes Matter street stall in Wapping Wharf, talking to local people about proportional representation and getting dozens of signatures on our petition. If you would like to get involved and join us at a future Make Votes Matter event, please check out the Facebook page: https://www.facebook. com/groups/400296670338367/ Housing forum: The next round of Housing Forums for council tenants is taking place online in September. These meetings are open to all council tenants and leaseholders across the city. The Forums provide an opportunity for council tenants and leaseholders to have a say on how the housing service is run and make suggestions about improvements. The Forum meeting details are below:
