We're greatly indebted to the fantastic @johndarvall.bsky.social and the team at BBC Bristol for our radio interview yesterday. We talked about pedestrianisation and public transport in Bristol, and of course about our new crowd-investment round.

Why the next Metro Mayor could cost you hundred of pounds in a new tax.
A pleasure to speak with @johndarvall.bsky.social today on BBC Radio Bristol. We discussed the big (not new) idea of regional bus franchising, explored the cost and timelines of such a change, and the very real prospects of (tax) precepts to pay for it. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... (Listen from 54.30)

Southmead Library is vital to reduce inequality in the city. He has his eyes on closing it.
My literacy motion will be on the papers for next council.
