  • © Licensed to London News Pictures. 01/12/2018. Bristol, UK. Bristol's elected Mayor MARVIN REES speaks at the Save Our Post Offices campaign event at Bristol’s main post office which under threat of closure in The Galleries Shopping Centre. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) supported by Bristol Trades Union Council were joined by Bristol's elected Mayor Marvin Rees to campaign against the proposed closure. This is part of a national campaign day, Saturday 01 December, to save Crown Post Offices from closure. Bristol's main Post Office in The Galleries shopping centre is on the list of regional closures along with the main Post Offices in Bath and Gloucester, with services due to be transferred to post office counters in branches of WH Smiths under a franchise arrangement. And in Kingswood the post office which moved to WH Smith last year would transfer to be operated directly by WH Smiths with Post Office workers becoming Smiths’ employees. It is feared while fully trained Post Office counter staff should be moved across and retain their £12-an-hour salaries, any new staff would be employed by WHSmith at the minimum wage. The campaign has been launched by the CWU in response to the announcement that 74 Crown offices are to be franchised (privatised) to high-street retailer WH Smith – a move which will impact some 800 jobs and drastically cut services to communities.

GPM Bristol 2018’s theme, Empowering Cities as Drivers of Change, will focus minds on global governance and the urgent need for the influence, expertise and leadership of cities to be felt as international policy is shaped. GPM Bristol 2018 will provide mayoral delegates with a global network of connections and a space to develop the collective city voice necessary to drive positive change. The programme will engage participants in decision-making, with panels, debate and voting on priority issues including migration and inclusion, urban security and health, and is a unique chance to influence decisions on the most pressing issues of our time.

Members of the House of Commons’ Transport Committee visit Bristol to hear about bus services in the area. The Chair of the Transport Committee, Lilian Greenwood, is joined by committee members Grahame Morris and Daniel Zeichner, and will meet with Bristol City Council and First Group who run the large majority of Bristol buses, followed by Mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees. In the first public evidence session the Committee has held outside Westminster, the Committee will then take evidence from the West of England Metro Mayor and representatives from Plymouth City Council and Devon County Council. MPs want to hear the views of local authorities about how the market works, what can be done to improve bus services and how they would like to see the future of bus services developing. The main issues surrounding the use of new powers given to local authorities by the Bus Services Act 2017 will also be under consideration. Buses account for five percent of all journeys in the UK. In Bristol buses are the most popular form of public transport, and the number of passenger journeys in Bristol has risen by more than 40% since 2009/10 compared to bus travel in English metropolitan areas outside London, which has declined by 40% over the last 25 years.
