Our invited guests were:

* Deputy Chief Constable Sarah Crew, Avon & Somerset Police

* Mr Adam Tutton – Chief Executive Officer of the Community Trust at Bristol Rovers

The evening was a huge success. As well as the ceremony itself, we had live entertainment from Dildar Singh and his band RSVP – and a vegetarian buffet was served.  After this, people were free to network and socialise.

Thank you to Bristol Rovers Football Club for hosting and sponsoring the evening. The Awards were organised in partnership with Community Access Support Service (CASS), Rethink Mental Illness Bristol, LinkAge Network, Bristol Community Development Team and Counter Extremism Team of Bristol City Council.

We all need to get from A to B. Transport plays a big part in our daily lives. The draft Bristol Transport Strategy sets out Bristol City Council’s vision and ambition for transport in the city up to 2036. The Council wants to hear your views on the issues you face when travelling around Bristol and your ideas to help them tackle congestion and improve accessibility for all our citizens and visitors. They want to hear if you think the draft Bristol Transport Strategy covers these issues and sets out solutions to help us all move around Bristol efficiently, safely and reliably.  Visit https://bristol.citizenspace.com/growth-regeneration/bristol-transport-strategy/ to complete the transport priority simulator to prioritise transport measures you want to see in the city and complete the questionnaire.
