Community In Partnership
Bristol City Council has started work on putting together the plan that will lead to new development in Knowle West. The plan, which is called the Knowle West Regeneration Framework, may bring new housing, new employment opportunities, new shops and community facilities, a new primary school building, and better public transport in future.
Urban Initiatives, which is a group of consultants appointed by Bristol City Council, are working closely with local residents and organisations to put the plan together. Once the Knowle West Regeneration Framework is completed and agreed at the end of 2009, it will be used to bring major investment to the area to fund new development over the next decade and beyond, so it is very important that all local residents get involved in making this plan as it will lead
to significant changes to how the area will look and feel.
As a part of their work, Urban Initiatives and other consultants will also be contributing to a plan that will define how the green spaces in the area will be used in the future.They will be working closely with Council officers from the Parks Department to ensure that consultation with residents on what should happen to the areas green spaces is carried out to the same high standard as across the rest of the city.
The consultation process for this will start in areas of the Northern Slopes and land adjacent to Kingswear & Torpoint Roads before being rolled out across the rest of the Knowle West.More on progress with the Knowle West Regeneration Framework will feature in the next edition of The Knowledge.

YoUr leTTerSMrs Paget says: “Like many residents in the area, I’ve had leaflets through the letterbox for clothing donations. The last one I had aroused my suspicions due to the logo and poor spelling. The company claim to donate £2,000 every month to the Children’s Heart surgery. I checked the official CHS website, to discover their logo is not the same.”
Response: “If in doubt residents can donate good clothing to charity shops, put them in your recylcing black box, or clothes recycling banks like the one at The Park, daventry Rd. The Salvation Army is opening a charity shop on Filwood Broadway on Thurday 14th May at 10.30am. Recycle clothing, books and bric-a-brac at the shop.

SPrINg gardeNLeSLey BeLGIuM, ReSIdeNTBy May your garden should be bursting into life. The warm spell in March and spring showers will have encouraged most things to grow, and it is time to plan ahead for the summer.
May and June are good months to play catch-up if your growing year has had a slow start, or just forget what the experts say you should have done in March-April and go from scratch. you can sow directly onto your plot (as long as the weather is reasonable); peas, beans, sweetcorn, cucumber and squash. Summer salads can be sown from now until September, as can most annual flowers (or use bedding plants for colour) and plant autumn flowering bulbs by July.
Haven’t got a plot? Living in a concrete jungle? don’t worry - lots of food and flowers can be grown in pots or other containers. you can even grow a kitchen herb garden in a hanging basket. Happy Gardening!
good NeWS eNvIroNMeNTal TeaM aT KWMC Our Carbon Makeover project has received international recognition and been hailed as a great success by the European Commission (eC) after Project leaders attended a conference in Brussels on February 24th. The conference was a chance for the EC to explore the challenges of achieving social and environmental change. Carbon Makeover was selected as a good example of this. The eC said, “Carbon Makeover is a win-win project”. A big congrats to all the Carbon Makeover homes who’ve worked so hard to gain us this recognition!Green Mapping Once upon a time some Knowle West residents dreamt about walking round the area admiring the grand old trees, hearing the birds sing and buying eggs from their neighbours who kept chickens...Many months on these residents collaborated with 2 local young artists and have realised a way to achieve their dream! They are proud to announce the launch of the Knowle West Green Map. It is a flash-driven, interactive map showing various green landmarks in Knowle West. www.kwmc.org.uk/greenmapAward for local women Carbon Makeover campaigners Lesley, Mil, Sue and Akilah were all recognised as Women Who Make a difference at an award ceremony at the Council House on Wednesday 4th March. The Women Who Make a difference Award is in recognition of the invaluable contributions women are making to improving and sustaining the communities in which they live and work. Well done to them all!share and share alike After many months of consultation with Carbon Makeover participants the ‘South Bristol Car Share’ website is now live. Car sharing involves more than 1 person sharing a car and traveling together. you get to have the convenience of the car without thinking about the all the gases you’d be putting into the atmosphere. http://www.southbristol-carshare.org.uk

Local residents and your councillors are working in partnership with the police, and Safer Bristol to reduce crime that directly alters the local community.
WHo IS STealINg oUr KIdS edUCaTIoN?AVoId BuyING CRIMe: IT’S AS eASy AS ABC
over £35,000 worth of equipment, including computers and laptops, has been stolen, causing nearly £20,000 worth of damage. It is important that we have the best equipment available to support the educational needs of our children; the theft from OUR children’s schools of vital equipment will have an impact on their progress. This equipment belongs to OUR schools and is for OUR children, every penny we spend carrying out repairs/replacements has to come from the funds we have for their education.3 months + 8 schools + 34 break-ins = £55,000 wasted
Items are more than likely being sold in the area and most of the money made will be spent on drugs. If you are offered what you think is stolen property, don’t be tempted; give ouR children a chance by saying No! don’t forget buying stolen goods is also a crime and by doing so you can get a criminal record. you are encouraging them to continue and you may be their next target.
What you can do - It’s not rocket science‘HAND IN A HANDLeR’. don’t let these people get away with it. To stop the burglaries we need to stop the people who are committing the burglaries and those selling on the stolen goods. even if you just have a name of someone you believe is handling/receiving-stolen property that could be enough. HOW tO RePORt OR Get IN CONtACt. There are many different ways to give information, you do not need to give your name and any information will be kept in strictest confidence:
• Remember in an emergency always call 999• Call Crimestoppers (and you may receive a financial reward): 0800 555 111• Call the Filwood Neighbourhood Team ‘Hand in a Handler’ number: 0117 945 5440• Email the Filwood Neighbourhood Police Team: [email protected]• Call your local Councillors – Jeff Lovell: 3533377 / Chris Jackson: 3533163• Speak to your local Safer Bristol Community Safety Officer: 0117 9031788• Police non emergency number 0845 4567000• Report graffiti, flytipping and abandoned vehicles on 0117 9222100• Anti Social behaviour 0845 6052222
PACt you can also get involved by coming to your local Partners and Communities Together meeting and raising you concerns the next ones are: Filwood ward Tuesday 2nd June 6.30pm til 8pm / Knowle ward Tuesday 2nd June 7pm til 9pm. Venues tbc. For details Tel: 0117 903 1788

MaNage YoUr WaSTe do NoT duMP WASTe!
It’s harmful to the environment, dangerous to people and it’s illegal with fines up to £50,000 and 5 years imprisonment. If you use the council’s recycling collections correctly you should be able to manage with one bin a fortnight. Anyone who takes away your waste has to be a registered waste carrier (includes trades-man working on your home). If in doubt call 08708 506 506 or go to www.environment-agency.gov.uk The council also collects bulky waste (free with certain benefits). The new tel no for Bulky waste and our other waste services is 9222100 or go to www.bristol.gov.uk
WHaT To do aNd WHY?Food leftovers, peelings and cardboard make up a 3rd of what’s thrown away in the average Bristol bin.
Using the weekly food waste and cardboard collection service is easy, saves biodegradable waste from rotting in landfill where it releases harmful greenhouse gases, and is instead turned into compost that is used on farmland.
If your collection is kerbside, empty your caddy into your brown food waste bin (or large shared brown bin for flats). Keep the lid closed with the handle pulled forward to keep odours and animals at bay. Place this bin at the edge of your property on your usual collection day by 7am, with cardboard beside or underneath.
HoW To USe YoUr blaCK box
It’s easy, convenient, and free and you will help make a difference to the environment.
Please put your box at the edge of your property where it can be seen by 7am.
Please separate materials into bags (untied), next to your box if they don’t all fit into your box.
For a free black box, assistance, or help info on where you can recyle materials that can’t go in your black box, please contact Bristol City Council. Tel: 0117 9222100
Below is some information on what can go in your black box.

We went to the more
or less event on 7th March
at Knowle West Media
Centre . More or
less? was an eco
festival with
live debate, short films, pizza,
free cycle maintenance, recycled
bag making , live
music and lyrics, also
featuring Mother Earth,
her super helpers, and the fairtrade banana
world record.
I stayed at the event all day. My pizza was amazing. They had
a cycle bike what created a splash art and I did some sewing
where I made a bag. overall it was fantastic!

I have made lots of new friends from different
schools since joining the oasis Juniors Club at
Oasis Academy. I like the creative tasks and want
to go to the club again. It’s been nice to come to
the school and see what it is like. The teachers are
very kind.
My dad, Keith dean said: “Coming to the club has
helped Luke’s confidence, he’s made lots of new
friends and he’s really keen to come to the school
again, find out more about life at ‘big
school’and he’s got to know a
lot of the teachers
too.
on Thursday 12th March at
The Park opportunity Centre
in Daventry road there was a
talent show giving a chance
for all youngsters aged 5 living
in the Knowle, Filwood and
Windmill Hill area to show their
talent. There were three age
categories, which were 5-9,
10-14, and 15-19, and in each
of the categories there was at
least 1 winner. But there was an
overall winner who had the most
points out of all the contestants
and that winner was my cousin
Kacey-May Carter who lives in
Filwood. But I would like to say
a big well done to all the people
who participated you were all
fantastic I wouldn’t have the
guts to get up there. I would
also like to say well done to
Margret Rawlins for being a
fantastic MC.
