A VIEW FROM BRISTOL

Gordon Isgrove

Managing Director

“Bristol and the wider city region is a diverse economic power house of the South West, a Core City to the exchequer, with a reputation for creating innovative start-ups. The excellent higher education offer in the city is linked to this and with a high graduate retention rate; the city must not allow its position to be diminished as we recover from the impact of the pandemic.

The city has lacked investment in housing, particularly affordable housing, and infrastructure compared to other Core Cities over the past couple of decades, and so such capital projects must be front and centre of the COVID-19 recovery. The city needs to continue its journey of evolution but embrace positive changes in working practices and a rising awareness around climate change to enable the community to thrive, while ensuring the movement of people through the city is not restricted and capital projects are delivered swiftly.”
