Paul attended the 90th anniversary event for the Co-operative Party in the Council House.  Paul is a member of the Party and is keen to see more services and assets in common ownership.  His work in housing demonstrated the real difference community control brings, for example the Tenant Management Organisation in Walsall and the housing co-op in Liverpool.  There are a few examples of this on a very small scale in Bristol including the community in St Werburghs and the self build scheme in paul's old ward in Teyfant, Hartcliffe.
