## Resource

Join Neil Maggs alongside councillor for Hartcliffe and Withywood Kirsty Tate , to talk about class & climate justice in her community. Kirsty is the Climate Action Manager at Heart of BS13 , and is a co-author of The Just Transition Declaration which is all about ensuring climate policies are fair for everyone especially those most negatively impacted. This is particularly relevant in Bristol, where controversies like the Clean Air Zone and East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood have sparked debate topics we’ve covered on Unpacked before. Hartcliffe has just received £20 million as part of a national government scheme to support communities in driving change. The goal? To ensure ‘left behind’ areas are ‘no longer ignored’ in the government’s own words. Hartcliffe is one of only two areas in our region (the other being Swindon) to secure this funding. So, what does this mean? How should the money be used? What matters most locally? And how can residents shape these decisions? The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom - fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit. Since 2014, we've been holding power to account through investigative reporting, community campaigns, and democratic media ownership. Because when journalism serves the community, not shareholders, real change becomes possible. Support independent journalism and help us bring more vital conversations to Bristol: become a Bristol Cable member.
