The Conservatives have trashed Britain’s economy. Bills and mortgages have skyrocketed, and in our growing city, people are struggling to get by. That’s why we’re protecting our 100% Council Tax Reduction Scheme, creating jobs and have made Bristol a Real Living Wage city.
The Housing Emergency
We’re facing an epidemic of homelessness, where the chance of a decent affordable home or getting a foothold on the housing ladder are too often just a dream. That’s why we’re regulating landlords, building new council houses, and retrofitting many more.
Health and Care Pressure
Seeing an NHS dentist or GP is increasingly difficult, waiting lists are rising and the pressure on social care is unprecedented. We are partnering with Bristol’s public services to help ensure you can access the care you need, when you need it.
Community Safety
Police visibility is reduced and crime rates are going up, with conviction rates lower. All while knife crime and violence against women and girls continue to increase. We’re designing a safer city centre, improving CCTV and partnering on youth engagement projects.
An Overheating Planet
Rishi Sunak wants oil and gas drilling and coal mines, whilst Bristol is investing in a more sustainable future. Whether creating good jobs in the green economy, better public transport, or nurturing our biodiversity, Bristol Labour won’t stand by.
