Really pleased to see this Bristol Green Party result.
Cllr Ani Stafford-Townsend has been treated appallingly by the mayor's office. I hope that nonsense stops, and Bristol Labour Group will work with the Greens for the sake of the city.
We'll see...

Congratulations to Bristol Green Party Heather Mack & Cllr David Wilcox

Gosh. This is big. Congratulations to Bristol Lib Dems🔶🇺🇦 Dr Caroline Gooch 🐤 🔶 🐪🐫 Lib Dems Stephen Williams 🔶 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 & Nicolas Coombes.
(But BSG Conservatives Cllr Geoff Gollop & Cllr Steve Smith will be missed. Both were good on the importance of transparency & scrutiny.)

This is significant.

(It's hard not to feel a bit sorry for Marley Bennett but something went sadly wrong. If he had been less focussed on pleasing the mayor's office, might he have kept his seat? We'll never know.)

LAB 811 (⬇️from 824)

Biggest difference is the reduction in the Conservative vote, which does not seem to have transferred to Labour. Lower turnout?

Congratulations to Patrick McAllister🌱 Bristol Green Party who comes across in the council chamber as a really decent human being, and a hardworking councillor!

Looks like YTL's new housing development won't be bothered by too many arena-related lorries & cars?

But at least Bristol residents get a view of the arena's backside & car parks!

Not under embargo.

So that’s lie after lie after lie then. And audit never thought to ask these questions that parents have to chase up.

Not sure they were as outraged as you make out Darren Jones MP & Carla Denyer gave a perfectly reasonable response to this ill-judged pre-election publicity stunt.
Quite a few people seemed outraged (& disappointed) that you are playing this game - it really doesn't do you credit.

Interesting - spooked by green gains in Bristol, Labour is doing its own anti-ULEZ style campaign, similar to the one levied against Labour's Sadiq Khan in London by the Tories.

Darren, @BristolGreen Party's priority is the health and wellbeing of the people of Bristol.

It's not current Bristol Green Party policy to expand the CAZ, but we'd never rule out a measure if evidence showed it would save lives.

The real question is why would any party do so?

Will there be a third letter? Have I already missed it?
Are 'open' letters demanding immediate replies also being sent to the leaders of other political parties?
