With a Labour Mayor and good public transport (London), air quality limits can be met.
Yet in Bristol, with the ‘Green’ Party in charge, air quality worsens and is blamed on the weather. And yet London has been hotter than Bristol!
Complete nonsense from Bristol Green Party.

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨

The latest data on air quality in Bristol is disappointing. My colleague Cllr Tait is correct that we need to be more ambitious.
Quite astonishing that the Bristol Green Party ever thought that closing Park St would get us to compliance a year earlier.

Out in Bristol Central last night and there’s a lot of enthusiasm for Labour under Andy Burnham’s leadership.
One thing was clear to me - Labour can regain Bristol Central and give its constituents the hard working MP they deserve.

From vulnerable adults at Community Links, to meals-on-wheels, I am very concerned about potential cuts to Adult Social Care in Bristol.
So at a recent council meeting I wanted to know the Green Party’s position. The response was a Green Councillor who could not say they support public ownership.
