    Where has a l l themoney gone?Since 2000, any major planning permissions granted by the Coun-cil have had conditions attached to provide developer funding to-

    wards improvements in the local area. Research by the Commu-nity Association has discovered that much of this money has beenused on projects of little direct benefit to residents in Hotwells

    and Cliftonwood and some of it remains unspent, years after itwas received.These so-called Section 106 agreements are supposed to mitigate the impact ofnew buildings on the surrounding community and can be used for a variety of im-provements, depending on the scale of the project. Hotwells has experienced aflood of new development in recent years and 7 projects in our area for which

    planning permission was granted af-ter 2000 have Section 106 agree-ments with the Council .In discussions between the CA, ourlocal councillors and officers in Parksand Planning departments it has nowemerged that, despite the Councilsown consultation guidelines, therehas been minimal opportunity forinput from local people about howthe available funds should be spent.For example, over 100,000 hasbeen allocated to Parks Departmentfor Open Spaces although Hotwells

    has almost no public parks managed by that department. In one case 27,000from a site in Hotwell Road was spent on improvements to Brandon Hill. In an-other example, 35,000 received in 2007 for Open Space remains unspent.Chief Planning Officer, Zoe Wilcox, told members of the CA that the consultationon possible improvements occurs through the responses made to Planning Appli-cations. Planners will take comments from the public into account in deciding howSection 106 funds should be allocated. It was pointed out that very few peopleappreciated that letters of objectionwould be used in this way and theOfficers assumptions about possiblebenefits were not publicised andcould not be challenged by people

    affected by the development beforethe agreement with the developerwas finalised.The CA suggested that letters invit-ing comments on Planning Applica-tions should make the process clearand pressed for automatic contribu-tions to parks to be re-allocated in away that was more sensitive to theneeds of our area.For further information on Section 106 agreements in our area see:http://www.hotwellscliftonwood.org.uk/open_spaces.htm For information on the Councils rules governing Section 106 agreements see:http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/cms-service/stream/asset/?asset_id=15975009

    Funding the CommunityAssociationFor the first time in at least 30 years

    Hotwells & Cliftonwood Community

    Association is not receiving any fund-ing from Bristol City Council.

    A long-threatened review of priorities forthe Community Development budget cameinto effect in April with criteria that wereimpossible for the Association to meet be-cause financial support is now restricted toCommunity Centres and projects in de-prived neighbourhoods of the City.

    Hotwells & Cliftonwood is relatively afflu-ent, with (we hope) a strong sense of com-munity and requires nothing like the level ofsupport needed in some other areas. How-

    ever, we have our share of poverty, poorhousing, struggling families and a very di-verse and transient population with manystudents, young families and pensioners.We also have our traffic problems, our lackof open space, a growing conflict betweenrevellers and residents as the areas pubsand restaurants become a popular destina-tion for visitors.We have long argued that the small amountthat we have been receiving (around 9,000per year) represents terrific value for theCouncil because it helps us to run a small

    office and mobilise and manage volunteersto respond to local needs at a minisculecost compared with comparable organisa-tions using paid staff. Loss of this small sumcould have a disproportionate effect on ourwork.Our future is therefore uncertain. We havereserves to carry us through this financialyear but we need to find alternative sourcesof income if we are to honour our commit-ment to work to improve the quality of lifefor all people living and working in Hotwells& Cliftonwood.

    This edition of Hotwells News includes anapplication form for the 500 Club, our localLottery that is the simplest and most effec-tive way you can provide regular supportfor the work of the Community Association.It only costs 18 per year and all the moneygoes in prizes or supporting the work ofour organisation. If only 1 in 5 of localhouseholds joined the 500 Club, it wouldgive HCCA a steady income of around5,000 per year. 35p a week is not a lot topay to sustain the range of activities that

    help to make our area such a great place tolive!Please fill in and return the form now

    or ring the office if you dont have one.

    Transition Hotwells &Cliftonwood

    -looking at food and land useFollowing the inaugural meeting in June ofthis local branch of the Transition Move-

    ment, a list of ideas for action has beendrawn up under the headings of Food, En-ergy, Heart & Soul, Health, Education andTransport. The scope is very wide and it hasbeen agreed to focus initially on creating aSkills Register and also looking at ways topromote local food growing to strengthenour self-sufficiency, which seemed to gener-ate lots of interest and ideas:Our area has little green space but amongthe possibilities suggested were:

    Better use of land around public housingsites like Clifton Vale Close.

    Adoption of the open space at GranbyHill/ Cumberland Place.

    Supporting existing community gardenslike Cliftonwood Terrace

    Setting up a garden-sharing scheme toprovide help for people with gardensthey cant manage alone.

    Set up outlets for sharing and distribut-ing locally grown produce.

    Engaging with new initiatives like thecommunity assisted agriculture move-ment.

    A fledgling core group has been established

    for Transition Hotwells and Cliftonwood.This will take responsibility for ensuringinformation about future meetings isshared , keeping contact list up to date,booking venues, liaising with Transition Bris-tol etc. 3 or 4 people have volunteered.Two more would be very helpful. Any-one out there interested? If so please [email protected]. Only forabout 9 months, when we hope a newgroup will come forward with new energy.

    The next meeting, to action some of the

    Food proposals will be at Trinity Rooms,Clifton Vale at 7.15pm on Tues. on

    October 14th. Do come along and listen,learn, contribute your ideas and bring foodto share if you wish.

    Harbourside Path

    We can thank the harbourFestival for setting a dead-

    line for opening the pedes-trian path which now givesHotwellians a traffic-freeroute into the City Centre.Currently it involves 2 flightsof steps to pass the new ma-rina by the HBOS building socyclists and disabled usershave a problem. We assumea more direct and level routewill be available later. Mean-while, residents of CapricornQuay must have been rudelyawakened (literally) as theirpleasant backwater suddenlybecame a public thorough-fare (any comments fromthat quarter would bewelcome).

    Bear Footpath7 years after the initial appli-cation was made by SueOtty, this short cut betweenthe Bear pub and CharlesPlace is set to become anofficial footpath, providing noobjections are lodged beforeOct. 6th. Congratulations to

    Sue for fighting through thebureaucracy to make thishappen.

    Bristol Parks Forum

    This BCC initiative is anx-ious to have individual feed-back around the questionAre your needs being metby Parks? - What needs tochange?Some of the responses re-ceived can be seen on theirwebsite, where you canalso add your own com-ments:http://www.bristolparksforum.org.uk/SupportComments.pdf

    Jacobs Wells JunctionNow the new lights andcrossings have been work-ing for some months(although there still seem tobe road works going on)how do pedestrians/ cy-clists/ drivers think it isworking for them. Is thecongestion reduced? Is itsafer to use? Since seriousmoney has been spent onthis project it would be use-ful to assemble some feed-back that we can pass on tothe Council.

    Blocked Gulleys

    Persistent work by PaulineBarnes and others in theCommunity Links group hashad some success in drawingattention to blockages like theone above in Clifton Vale.Drains should be inspected atleast once a year but parkedcars or concrete and rubbleobstructions make complica-tions for the Sita teams.However, the Council haveour list and monitoring by

    HCCA continues.

    Hotwells School RedevelopmentAs part of the Citys review of Primaryeducation it is proposed that St. Geor-

    ges School should be closed and Hot-

    wells School should be redeveloped on anew site with double the current num-

    ber of pupils.The Governors strongly oppose this plan be-cause the school, which has the second worstphysical condition out of all the primaryschools in the City, would not be improvedbefore 2013. It is feared this would lead to anincreasingly difficult environment for teachingand a possible fall in pupil numbers, in spite ofthe Outstanding status it was awarded inJanuary this year by Ofsted.

    Governors are also concerned at the impactof moving the school to a new site. The A

    Bond beyond Cumberland Basin or BowerAshton have both been suggested as a newsite, although 60% of the schools intakecomes from within 0.5 km of the present lo-cation. Many children who currently walk toschool would be faced with longer journeys.The Governors favour redevelopment of theexisting site but this would rule out any in-crease in capacity. The playing field and play-ground already are only 60% of the recom-mended minimum size for primary education.Redevelopment that meets the schools aspi-rations for more space and better facilities

    could raise delicate planning control issues,facing, as it does, a listed Georgian terrace ina conservation area.Equally, if the school is compelled to re-locate, we can be fairly certain that the valu-able site it leaves behind wont be offered tothe Hotwells community for much-neededopen space. You only have to go round thecorner to the Granby Green development tosee what we might expect!

    This seems an intractable dilemma but Hot-wells school is at the heart of our community

    and HCCA will work to support the views ofteachers, parents and pupils as expressed bythe Governors in their ongoing negotiationswith the Council. Ray Smith

    Goldney Gardens TreeworksThe University has been given permission bythe City Council to reduce the number oftrees on the land above Ambra Vale East by30%. Concerns that this might be connectedwith a renewed attempt to develop the site

    for housing have been allayed in the consulta-tion with local residents. However, concernsstill remain that the habitat for some pro-tected species (particularly Leislers Bats andLong-Tailed Tits) will be damaged and theCouncils approach of merely suggesting theUniversity carries out a baseline ecologicalsurvey of the site is not a sufficient guaranteethat these factors will be properly moni-tored. The University, which believes thatsome of the trees are threatening the stabilityof walls will be re-planting with more shruband woodland edge species over a period of10 years.

    Residents Parking SchemeThis proved to be a highly divisive issue. Thecouncil officers did not appear to be well pre-pared for the public meetings and feedbackwas quite negative. There was also criticism ofthe document which should either have beenpurely an in principle question or a full con-sultation. This certainly produced confusionwhich was exploited by a vocal opposition.CHASE did not respond because of the divi-

    sion of opinion but did try to correct some ofthe misleading propaganda being scattered allover our streets. I understand that some resi-dents were so incensed that the car leafletswere reported as litter!There were about 13,000 responses citywide; 25% of the questionnaires circulated.Whether the timetable of a report to Cabinetin October can be maintained with so muchdata to process remains to be seen. It seemsprobable that the report wont appear untilthe new year.

    James Smith

    Cumberland Basin DevelopmentConsultants looking at the possibility of creat-ing space for development on the south sideof Cumberland Basin have confirmed that, yesindeed, 3.6 acres of prime building land couldbe released by demolishing one of the flyoverramps (the one above Lockside Restaurant).However, they estimate the cost of doing thiswould be 10.5m. This is unlikely to be at-tractive for any developer, certainly for a fewyears until the property market improves.

    Also, building works at 120-124 Hotwell Road(next to the Mardyke) have been suspended.Presumably due to poor market conditions.

    Meet Your Neighbour: ART

    ROSE POPAY: Performer and multidiscipline artist

    Fittingly, Rose who herself seems to have appeared fresh from the pages of a bookof fairy tales - was born to a family of performers her parents are the founding mem-bers of Baths Natural Theatre Company and from a young age she was imbued withtheir magical world, whilst also performing as part of the company. Later came a de-gree in Fine Art after which Rose began to move away from performance and developher own, prolific body of work encompassing an extensive range of mediums such asoil painting, multi-material fabrication and charcoal, to name a few. Most recently Rosehas created a unique drawing style using marker pens which she developed whilst fabri-cating for Damien Hirst. After 5 years with Hirst (during which she fitted in posingnaked for David Bailey!), she began to miss performing and decided to develop a way inwhich she could combine the two. Her most recent works use performance alongsideher art and her latest creation, The Art Tart,

    made her debut at The Cans Festival in Londonthis summer.

    Rose arrived in Hotwells seven years ago andthis is the first arts trail she has been involved in,either as an artist or a visitor and so she is look-ing forward to exposing herself to a new audi-ence. Rose is exhibiting her work at the CRE-ATE centre which will include a mixture of herprints and marker pen drawings and perhaps ifwere lucky a glimpse of that lascivious stenciller,The Art Tart herself. Rose thinks that the trailwill be good for local artists to gain exposureand also to be able to network not just with visi-tors but with each other. What does Rose hopeto get out of the weekend? In her own words:

    Fame and fortune!

    MARY ROUNCEFIELD: Printmaker

    If you were walking around Broadmead recently, youmay have inadvertently happened upon some of Maryswork. She was involved in the Art in the City exhibi-tion in which her work was displayed in the large win-dows of Debenhams. Marys work is influenced bymaths and geometry and indeed Mary spent most of herlife thus far teaching maths and statistics at schools anduniversities. However, even whilst teaching she main-tained an interest in art, until five years ago she decidedto change her life around. Not long after, she discov-ered printmaking and fell in love she had found herniche. She is now in her final year of a degree in illustra-tion and is a member of the printmakers at Spike Island.She was also selected from 3000 applicants to submit tothe Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2007 for a drawing fromher series Mathematical Curves which links patterns andmathematical language to art.

    Mary has been involved in the South BristolArts Trail for the last five years and also in

    Art on the Railings in Hotwells, but is excited to be able to be involved in a trail inher own home. The importance of events like the arts trail for the community,was well illustrated for Mary last year when during a rather rainy Art on the Rail-ings, Mary took shelter and exhibited her work in her lounge. Many neighbourswho came to see her work until that moment hadnt realised that she was an art-ist. This is one of the major benefits of the arts trail; that of chatting to people neighbours and strangers alike - and getting to know one another. ArtisticallyMary feels the trail will play a vital role too, in providing a platform for feedback onwork and offering an opportunity to talk to other artists about each others work.What does Mary hope to get out of the weekend? Just that: to meet new peoplein the area and to have the opportunity to discuss her work with them.

    TRAIL SPECIAL by Jayne Marshall

    JANET MARGRIE: Painter and sculptor

    Janet describes herself as an artist from birth, as a small girl she loved to draw and tocreate and so it was perhaps a natural progression for her to go to art school andfrom there to continue as a teacher of art. Between art school and eventually movingto Bristol, Janet lived in Dorset where she worked on the land and so was involved inthe landscape on a very organic level: an influence which later found expression in herwatercolours. It was whilst working in Dorset that she saw an advert for an MA inArchitectural Conservation at Bristol University and decided to apply. The architec-tural aspect to her studies allowed her to look at buildings differently which helped todevelop her large scale installations and sculpture. It was during her studies in Bristol

    that Janet began to fall in love with Clifton, eventually moving here 25 years ago.This will be Janets first arts trail, although many people in the area will already befamiliar with her work through Art on the Railings and also the annual Community-Pantomime for which Janet designs and paints the sets each year. However, theseevents aside she usually works to commission so the trail will provide her with analternative way to exhibit. Janet thinks that the benefit of the trail for the artists in-

    volved are chiefly that it provides an important stimulus, artistically and also practically, as it represents a deadline forwhen work has to be finished. As for everyone else, Janet hopes the trail will bring pleasure and excitement for its pa-trons. What does Janet herself hope to get out of the weekend? The pleasure of joining in and being part of somethingwith other artists and exhibitors. As a largely solitary pursuit, it can sometimes be lonely being an artist!

    Find Janet on the trail at the CREATE centre exhibition

    PETE DALBY: Photographer, filmmaker and installation artist

    more unusual route to becoming an artist than most, having spent 22 years (and counting)nt until six years ago that Pete took a painting course at the Folk House and awakened an

    ees him as a recent Fine Art and Design graduate.kshire, has lived in Hotwells for nine years. He loves the area and in particular its border-at lends it a beguiling transience. This is the first arts trail Pete has been involved in but heng. He took part in many shows whilst studying at university and was co-curator of a shownd where he cold inflated a hot air balloon inside a church, exhibiting aerial photographs,this film can be seen on the arts trail opening night, 17th October at the Hope Centre). Pete iscale environmental work which he is creating aside from the trail but that will also be ontrail weekend. This involves the unenviable task of rescuing over 2000 plastic bottles from

    t of the trail for artists will be to allow neighbours and visitors to see the work you do andn. It is also good for the community to have people come into the area and discover its many hidden charms. What does

    e weekend? Personal fulfilment and the buzz of having people see and appreciate your work.Find Pete on the trail at 15 Sandford Road

    ATHAN M COOMBS: Documentary photographer and painter

    as a photographer, has photography in the family. He grew up with aoth interested in this medium and from an early age he spent manyived in Clifton for one year, before which he lived in Japan - in Osaka,in Japan, dividing his time between freelance photography and teach-exhibition of photographs of his time there, called Mochi named

    Living MemoriesThis Group for older members of the community is now in its twenty fourth year.but, incredibly, still active and growing. 29 met at the last meeting to celebrate twobirthdays and welcome three visitors; an old boy from Hotwells, Gordon Pugh whogave us an interesting talk of life down under in Australia. He came with his wife and

    sister.About twenty of the group recently returned to their old school, Hotwells Primary.They were taken on a tour around classrooms with headmistress Jenny Taylor.Some of the group had been former pupils and were surprised and delighted at thechanges within the school. After the tour we gathered to look at photo albums and apotted history of the school, with lots of oohs and aahs when they recognisedthemselves from sixty years ago or thereabouts. We were treated to cakes and teaby mums from the PTA, much appreciated.After some serious research last year we were able to reunite a forty two year oldlady who had been adopted as a baby, born in Hotwells now living in London, withher natural mother.As well as being interested in the history of Hotwells we invite speakers on varioustopics. The group also enjoys being very sociable, taking coach trips further afield .

    nity to meet people, have a great dinner and share their feelings and ideas

    with other local people.There are many activities that our clients love to get involved in. Sheila Kirsh one ofour regulars to the daycentre says:The day centre has helped me a great deal. I wouldnt be without it. I enjoyed coming sincemy husband passed away. I would be

    lost without help, with shopping, which

    they help me with. I would never be able

    to do it otherwise.I have been a member of staff herefor 3 years and feel I am part of afamily environment. We, the staffteam, are very welcoming and we arealways willing to help, support andpromote our clients independence

    and empowerment. It helps so manyof our clients become more inde-pendent and sociable. Another of ourclients, Nina Cope, enjoys participat-ing in the activities, computers and the quiz, and says:The day centre is a means of getting out. Everyone is so kind. I look forward to coming. Thequiz keeps my mind active. I feel being sociable is an important part of staying independent.

    This is exactly what I get from coming here.

    I have just recently qualified, in January, as a Counsellor, with support from TrinityCare Service and this has helped me in my role as Activities Co-coordinator/Careworker. I enjoy listening to my clients stories and experiences and I respect, somuch, the fact that the clients have experienced so much in their lives, good and bad.There is so much depth to our little community at Trinity, and the more you spend

    time here, the more depth you will start to feel.If you are reading this article and would like to know more about us or know of any-one that may benefit from our wonderful environment please pop in, at Holy Trinity.
