Film screening: Village Matters
The event is free, but tickets must be booked in advance using the link below.
See Bristol North West's villages celebrated on the big screen in a screening of 'Village Matters', created by Darren Jones MP as part of his It takes a village campaign.
In this collection of seven short films, Darren talks to experts from Historic England and a local historian about the historical context of issues that are important to constituents today.
Please note, Darren Jones MP will not be present at the screening.
The seven films will be played back-to-back, each focussing on a different theme:
Travel through a 'secret' listed tunnel in Henbury and explore the vast network of public footpaths connecting the villages of Bristol North West.
Learn how Gloucester Road benefitted from a Bristol-based innovation that was the biggest advance in road construction since the Roman times.
Discover why high streets offer a window into our local history, and what Historic England learned in its project about Shire High Street.
Delve into how the River Trym has been enjoyed and protected by local villagers since the Bronze Age – and how Southmead might be the oldest village in Bristol!
Hear about Sea Mills' proud history in being home to some of the first council houses in the country, with houses built for soldiers returning from war – and how social housing may have prevented a revolution.
Uncover the fascinating story of how repurposing a shelter for WWII soldiers manning anti-aircraft guns in Purdown gave Lockleaze its first community centre.
See how the beautiful architecture of Grace House in Westbury Park was designed to mirror the school's educational philosophy that expressive movement is therapeutic, and explore the rich history of SEND education in Bristol North West.

Summer Coffee Morning with Darren Jones MP
This is a bigger version of my Café Politics before the summer recess, where you can chat to me about local or national issues over a free cup of tea or coffee. Let’s hope the weather isn’t typically British so that we can enjoy a few games on the bowling club’s beautifully maintained bowling green after our discussion. For those who aren’t playing, we can continue to chat informally over another cuppa and take in the scenery. Booking is essential!

Facebook Live Q&A special: Retained EU Law Bill
Hundreds of constituents have written to me since the start of the year to share their dismay that the Government is pushing forward with its Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill. This proposed legislation would mean that about 4,000 EU laws that were retained after Brexit would need to either be replaced or reinstated in UK law by the end of the year, or else most of them would be scrapped.
Let me be frank: I think it’s a silly Bill. These laws include a lot of important protections: from food safety, to employment rights, and safeguarding the environment.
If you have any questions about the Bill, or if you'd like to share your views, please join me for this special Facebook Live Q&A.
