Less bars and clubs in Bristol centre.

Stop granting new alcohol licences to bars and clubs in Bristol Centre. There should be a maximum no. of licences in a given area. Families and older people are put off going into the centre at weekends by the atmosphere of booze fuelled aggression and the streets being turned into toilets. Bristol has the potential to be so much better than this.
Why the contribution is important
Because all of Bristol should be welcoming to all Bristol citizens and visitors. There shouldn't be any "no go" areas for people who feel more vulnerable.
Most people in Bristol want to live in a civilized and cultured city. Let's start giving them the opportunity to do this by actively shaping the place we all share.

Many people, both local and visiting, would second this long overdue reform. What a difference it would make to our city's heart - possibly the most valuable idea of all.

Huge out-of-town nightlife complex should be created with good public transport links - something similar to the Mall at Cribbs, but just think of bars instead of shops. That would make the city a bit quieter!

The Council's Licensing Policy (see www.bristol.gov.uk/licensing) already has a so-called 'Cumulative Impact Area' covering the city centre, effectively meaning that new licence applications will normally be refused, unless the applicant can demonstrate a good reason not to, for example, by applying for something which is more family friendly.
