  Of all the wards in Bedminster, the Windmill Hill ward seems likely to be the most closely fought in Bristol's local council elections on Thursday 5 May 2011.

Fast forward a year and the picture looks markedly different. His colleague Cllr Mark...

People living nearby lobbied the council during a meeting of its licensing committee, asking for the sale of alcohol to be refused amid fears it would lead to...

  THE Labour and Conservative groups have promised to give the public the final say on selling Bristol's green spaces if either of them take control of the city council in May. Despite 7,000 people signing a petition calling for a rethink on the scheme, the Liberal Democrats used their majority to vote down a plan to give Neighbourhood Partnerships the last word. Instead they will write a letter to the petitioners explaining the...
