Where and how we live matters. Our urban city environment matters.
Our new-built environment should be top quality and pandemicproof.
We are going to have to literally ‘build back better’. We have had several new viruses jump species and endanger humans in the past 18 years: the original SARS virus, MERS virus, a new strain of Ebola, Zika virus, Swine flu, and of course the new coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2).
We can expect more outbreaks as viruses jump species from animals to humans. Sorry, but it looks likely, so we need to get things right now to better prepare for the future. How and what we build is a part of that, and smart retrofitting will also be a part of it.
If you want a better future, get ready to vote for it. Demand change and improvement! Make Bristol great again, make Bristol greener. Simon Wood

Abraham Lincoln (15 April 1865) was worth more of a mention than arguably say ‘the first McDonald’s franchise opening (1955)’.
The only reason you might think I am being picky is that it came up with the Titanic sinking and something else as a ‘what was the year in history’ kind of question I answered on a Zoom quiz recently.
Keep up the good work and stay safe all.
Ray Parker Kingswood that this beach is where Cornish methodists went for annual tea treats and is as such a Cornish “common”.
A majority of the Cornish national minority have strong methodist associations. It shows an anglocentric view that this cultural association was totally overlooked by the G7 and the hotel venue.
However, we hope the G7 can still be positive for our community.
