In our second video interviewing subjects of the book Our City: Community Activism in Bristol, we talk to journalist Joe Banks, who was able to find a real anomaly in the council’s approach to developing the oldest part of the city.

He did this both by looking at information other people had requested, and putting in his own Freedom of Information requests, on mySociety’s WhatDoTheyKnow website.

Details of the book can be found on the Tangent Books website.

You can read lots more about Joe’s investigation into St Mary Le Port, and other local topics, on his website.
