The Student Community Partnership brings together representatives of B&NES Council and the two universities and their Students’ Unions. Cllr Will Sandry of Oldfield Park has recently taken the chair of the partnership, bringing a greater appreciation of local residents’ concerns to their meetings.

The annual report of the SCP has been published here; more details of the partnership are on their website at www.townandgown.org.uk. Of most practical interest is the Student Action Line, allowing concerns to be reported to 01225 396996.
