Come and tell us what you want from Bristol City Council’s next big energy investment programme - City Leap. We want to ensure that communities in Bristol are able to have a say, get jobs and benefit from this big infrastructure programme, which will be a key part of Bristol getting to zero carbon.

City Leap is a joint venture with a private partner, and Bristol City Council is currently choosing from their three preferred bidders to select who that partner will be. This will be the focus of Bristol Energy Network’s next meeting for Community Anchor Organisations at 11am on Thursday 20th May. In particular, we are interested in:

• housing development projects you are planning
• any renewable energy generation projects you would like to see in your area
• skills and training needs for local residents to work on citywide energy projects
• what resources communities need to develop your own energy projects
• do you think people in your communities would invest in local or citywide energy projects?

Your views will feed in to our recommendations to the City Leap bidders on how they should work with the community.

This is specifically a meeting for organisations that serve a particular neighbourhood, or a community of interest.

If you  represent an environmental group or a primarily energy-focused group, you are welcome to attend in a listening capacity, but the voices we want to hear are those of the community anchor organisations.
