Bristol council leader urges government to back green bank bid
Bristol leader Barbara Janke has called on the government to back the city’s bid to host a planned £3bn Green Investment Bank.
During the meeting, Janke also made the case for more government funding for superfast broadband infrastructure in Bristol. She also stressed the importance of innovation to the city. “Bristol is a fantastic place to start creative and advanced tech companies – not least because were already at the heart of these industries in the UK,” she said.”I’ve heard a lot of talk about London growing its creative and technology business base with a brand new silicon roundabout. But it must be remembered that we’re already part of the largest silicon design cluster anywhere in Europe, second only to silicon valley in California in terms of turnover.”
