Tony Dyer needs a better calendar

Bristol City Council publish the Leaders Diary on a monthly basis. They published Tony's Diary for February 2026 on 30th March 2026.

Why does it take a whole month to publish the Leaders Diary?

It definitely isn't because of the rigorous proof reading that takes place, as can be seen from February's Diary which shows "Wednesday 4th February" as being "Wednesday 5th February".

What other mistakes are made in this important public document?

I corrected the mistake in my data load, and this is what Tony was up to in February 2026.

Housing

The 3 housing related appointments were all with Goram Homes.

There was one meeting related to Temple Quarter. Perhaps they were talking about affordable housing?

Core Cities

Tony did declare the Dinner event on the Gifts and Hospitality Register.

I am surprised that a posh dinner where the drinks flow only comes in at a £40 value. Perhaps they had a Deliveroo from Wetherspoons.

The Investment Event included a topical workshop that talked about the negative effects of student accommodation and public resistance to higher-density development.

Interview

I couldn't find any details of the interview with Mastercard.

Other Meetings

What was discussed with the French Ambassador?

Muse have been selected by the Bristol Temple Quarter Limited Liability Partnership (BTQ LLP) as its preferred development partner for Temple Meads West and St Philip’s Marsh.

Great Western Cities is a collaborative initiative launched in February 2015 by the cities of Bristol, Cardiff and Newport, to improve cooperation in the area as a city region, and to develop economic and environmental partnerships. I cannot find much about the activities of this quango, apart from an initial flurry of activity in 2016.

The UN Forum of Mayors is a United Nations body that enhances coherence and complementarity between the local, regional and global levels in addressing common challenges related to sustainable urban development and governance, contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.

The British Business Investor Roadshow at City Hall featured businesses presenting directly to a panel of leading investors, venture capital firms and industry heavyweights with the power to back their growth plans.
