	<!-- Declaration of interest: First draft created by C denyer, one of the councillors who represents Clifton Down ward. My motivation for creating this page is not self-promotion, I just want to add this up to date info to replace the old page for Clifton East (ward) (not created by me) which is 3+ years out of date, and causes confusion for my constituents. I used the existing pages for Clifton East and Cotham wards as templates. Happy to take any suggested changes :) -->
