Bristol has a highly skilled workforce.This was highlighted as a keystrength by Bristol's Local EconomicAssessment 2011 (LEA), which setout the positive impact on levels ofproductivity and support for

knowledge intensive businesses,creativity and innovation.

The LEA also identified as a keychallenge in respect of the city’sworkforce skills and development,“Developing sufficient andappropriate skills provision to enableemployer demand to be met by localsupply and enable economic growthto tackle persistent worklessness insome communities.” This suggeststhat, in addition to building upon thehighly skilled workforce, Bristol’seconomy will benefit from investmentin lower-level skills.

“The shift towards a

knowledge-intensive

economy has resulted in

qualifications and skills

becoming increasingly

important. Local economies

with a highly skilled

workforce have significant

competitive advantage over

other areas, attracting

investment and increasing

productivity.”

"Bristol is a popular option foryoung and talented peoplelooking to develop theircareers."

West of England LocalEnterprise Partnership(LEP)

The structure of the LEP isbeing developed so that it willhave a significant sectorfocus. Ten business-ledsector groups, covering thekey growth sectors in thelocal economy are beingestablished

This sector driven approachwill be central to the LEP’sambition for creating 95,000jobs by 2030 and annualeconomic growth of 3.4% by2020.

(Bristol LEA Exec Summary)

“The strength of the local

economy is based upon high

productivity, a diverse and

mixed economy, high levels

of enterprise and an

excellent local higher

education sector.”

A relatively high level of enterprise isa key strength of Bristol’s localeconomy, positioning it well torecover from recession and areduction in public sectoremployment. Business formationrates in the city are higher than incomparable UK cities. Similarly,Bristol has a higher level of self-employment than in other largeurban areas and above that for theUK as a whole.

Both business formation and self-employment are particularly strong inthe key sectors of environmentaltechnology and creative industries.

Bristol will

n step up its Urban Enterpriseprogramme to promote self-employment and businessformation, especially in deprivedneighbourhoods

InwardInvestment –buildingupon success..........................................

5 “Generally quality of life is

considered the most

important factor in Bristol’s

favour. The combination of

the location, skills and

diverse industry base is

hailed as providing excellent

conditions overall for

business.” (Bristol LEA p.27)


High-tech inwardinvestment

Toshiba’s,Telecommunications ResearchLaboratory in Bristol is at theforefront of research into thenext generation of wirelesscommunication technology.There are a number of reasonsbehind the decision to locateTRL in Bristol, according tothe head of the Bristol facility,Professor Ian Craddock.

“Toshiba chose Bristol

because of the wealth of

talented individuals and

technological expertise in

the area. TRL also enjoys a

productive relationship with

the University of Bristol’s

Centre for Communications

Research, one the UK’s

most prestigious centres for

research and postgraduate

training. Bristol also offers

good quality of life, lots of

leisure opportunities and its

rail links, airport and

location near the M4 and M5

makes it well placed for the

fast moving

communications industry.”

(Bristol LEA p.70)

Bristol has a relatively low level ofcarbon emissions, in comparisonwith other major English Cities, andhas made some progress in reducingemissions, especially industrial andcommercial emissions, in recentyears. Bristol also has a carbon-efficient economy, with relatively lowcarbon emissions in relation toeconomic output. The LEA alsopoints out that Bristol’s economysupports a ‘cluster’ of firms in the

environmental technology servicessector, positioning the city well foreconomic and employment growthin a sector with great potential.


Low CarbonEconomy –Leading edgetechnologyand futuregrowth..........................................

13

Historically, energy use and

carbon emissions have risen

with population and

economic growth. The

challenge is for Bristol to

substantially increase the

carbon efficiency and

energy security of its

economy. This presents

great challenges and

opportunities for the city –

creating new low carbon

business opportunities,

sustainable employment,

improving quality of life and

making Bristol more

resilient.

Hydrogen Ferry

Bristol City Council hasestablished a partnership todesign, develop and operate ahydrogen-fuelled passengerboat in the city’s floatingharbour, as part of a widerhydrogen strategy

The aim is to showcasehydrogen fuel cell technology,which is emerging as apossible clean and greenalternative to traditional dieseland petrol engines anddemonstrate its commercialviability. It is intended that thisproject will demonstrate theadvantages to the public andbusinesses, kick-starting ahydrogen economy in Bristoland attracting newenvironmental innovators intothe city.

Hydrogen fuel technology isseen as a possible fuel of thefuture as it is clean, with thepotential for significantly lowerenvironmental impacts thanother fuels; the only wasteproduct of hydrogen fuel cellsis water, so it will help toreduce air and water pollutionin the Harbour.

(Bristol LEA p.31)

A number of neighbourhoods inBristol experience high levels ofworklessness – the proportion ofworking age people claiming out ofwork benefits, a wider measure than

‘unemployment’. Worklessness notonly has a strong link with societalproblems but also acts as a brakeupon sustainable economic growth.

However, this worklessness is anopportunity to provide the additionalworkforce necessary to meetdemand and to deliver economicgrowth. Activity at neighbourhoodlevel has an important role to play inre-engaging the long-termunemployed with the labour market,providing accessible employmentopportunities, both in spatial andskill-level terms.

NeighbourhoodEconomies –contributingto tackling worklessness..........................................

7 Unemployment and

worklessness in Bristol do

not match the scale or rate

to be found in other major

cities in England. However,

there are ‘pockets’ of

unemployment and

worklessness affecting

some areas of the city

… The ‘pockets’, or

concentrations, of

worklessness in particular

neighbourhoods are largely

matched by the spatial

patterns of deprivation and

disadvantage. There is a

strong correlation between

neighbourhoods

experiencing persistent

worklessness and those

neighbourhoods registering

as the most deprived.

(Bristol LEA p.82)

Retail centres and smallertrading/industrial centres areimportant to ‘neighbourhoodeconomies’, providingemployment opportunities andaccess to services without theneed for extensive travel.Maintaining and developingthese local centres is animportant feature of buildingsustainable communities.

15


Bristol will

n continue to developNeighbourhood Partnerships,including strong links with localemployers and traders, to promoteneighbourhood economies

n invest in the provision ofemployment advice and support,to enhance mainstreamprogrammes such as the WorkProgramme and Jobcentre Plusactivities

n co-ordinate public service activitiesin and around local retail andbusiness centres, to maximise theirviability and contribution tosustainable communities

n ensure that the development ofneighbourhood planning takes fullaccount of business needs andopportunities


The Greater Bedminster

Community Partnership is analliance of local councillors,voluntary and communityorganisations, privatebusinesses and publicagencies within the two Bristolwards of Southville andBedminster. About 21,000people live within this area of,at least, half a dozenneighbourhoods.

The partnership brings benefitto people living in the areathrough

• encouraging greater co-operation and effectivenessbetween private, public andcivil society organisations

• offering increasedopportunities for residents toinfluence policy making andimplementation

• being inclusive andvigorously opposingdiscrimination

16

While the Bristol LEA reported theimportance, and perceivedshortcomings of the city’s transportinfrastructure, it also highlighted thecity’s digital connectivity and theadvantages of its transport links tothe rest of the UK and beyond. Thislatter will be enhanced by theimprovements to national transportlinks including rail electrification fromLondon to Cardiff via Bristol TempleMeads and Parkway stations.


Infrastructure &Connectivity –High speedbroadband & railelectrification..........................................

8

(Bristol LEA p.63)

Transport infrastructure inBristol is a complex issue.Local negative perception ofroad traffic congestion is atodds with some positiveofficial data, while measures ofpublic transport provision pointto local deficiencies in intra-city connectivity. It isundoubted that an efficienttransport system within thecity is important for economicgrowth.

Dr John Savage CBE,

Executive President of Business West

“The particular magic aboutBristol is its peculiar location,that is its adjacency to Londonand to Europe with anexpanding airport, but also thenatural geography of the place,close to the sea, close to somespectacular countryside.”

17

Bristol will

n continue to develop digitalconnectivity, through the roll-out ofsuper-fast broadband and free wi-fi, whilst also promoting digitalinclusion

n build upon the announcedelectrification of the rail link toLondon by continuing to lobby forimprovements to Bristol’s nationaland international transport links

n deliver the Digital City PartnershipProgramme – Connecting Bristol –through a range of local projectsusing technology and digital mediato help build more sustainable andenvironmentally friendly lifestyles

n improve the city’s public transportthrough the introduction of rapidtransit routes connectingperipheral areas with the citycentre and employment sites tothe north of the city (the ‘NorthernFringe’)

n further improve the city’s internaltransport by building upon thesuccessful Cycling City initiative,increasing the number of regularcyclists and reducing congestion


(Bristol LEA p.74)

Digital Connectivity is a keyfactor in sustainable economicgrowth. Connectivity enablesthe city's firms to trade moreefficiently; helps the citypresent a “smarter” and“greener” face to the outsideworld and underpins two-wayengagement between publicservices and localcommunities. Bristol hasdigital talent in business andpublic sectors, in academiaand in communities.Microelectronics,environmental technologiesand creative digital industriesflourish and Internet use isrelatively high. Research byconsultants ADIT suggeststhat Bristol is around the fifthmost digitally connected UKcity and suggests that there isreal potential to move Bristolinto a top-three position.

(Bristol LEA p. 74)

18


Connecting Bristol is the city’sDigital Agency, working toensure that Bristol has all theright components in place to bea leading Future City. In 2010Connecting Bristolcommissioned Dr Chris Tuppen,a leading sustainability expert, toassess the City’s progress, andto make recommendations tohelp us realise this ambition.

Connecting Bristol is pursuinga broad ranging programme ofactivities which are illustratingthe role of ICT and DigitalInfrastructure as key enablers ofa smart and sustainable, low-carbon economy.

• Realising the potential of theCouncil’s directly managed,high-speed fibre network byopening up more than 60 freeto access wifi hot-spots

19

• Promoting and facilitating theuse of the Council’s open data

• Developing neighbourhood-wide, showcase, energymanagement projects across theCity.

• Promoting digital inclusion byproviding low-cost refurbishedPCs, training and support to themost excluded groups

• Developing ambitious andinnovative partnerships withbusiness, other UK andEuropean Cities, and thecommunity to help make Bristola leading smart, sustainable andprosperous place.


Quality of Life –Bristol’s trump card ..........................................

9through its role in retaining andattracting graduates and so addingto the skilled workforce

Quality of life can be seen in highstandards of public realm, culturallife, leisure facilities and, especially inBristol’s case, a generally ‘laid-back’and tolerant atmosphere. The Forumfor the Future Sustainable CitiesIndex 2010 ranked Bristol first forquality of life, for the second yearrunning. This index uses indicatorsthat measure levels of education,health (through life expectancy),employment, high quality greenspace and transport (through accessto key services) in each of 20 UKcities.

Bristol’s LEA refers to quality of lifeas both a strength – “Bristol has anattractive environment, with a goodquality of life including culturalvibrancy and diversity” – and a keychallenge of “retaining ‘quality of life’amidst physical development of thecity, to preserve Bristol’s characterand attractiveness to investors”.

It is clear that the reputation ofBristol’s quality of life is welldeserved and a key factor in thecity’s economic success – not least

(Bristol LEA p.27)

In comparison to other citiesas potential locations forbusiness (for example Cardiff,Manchester and Birmingham),Bristol is well regarded for itsbetter quality of life,attractiveness, access toLondon and other markets,the diversity of its businessbase, cutting edge innovationand its higher value industryand skills.

Nick Park,
