There has been a hidden agenda all the way through this process, it was a way for the cabinet to use the systems to achieve other goals. The council carried out the consultation and said they would listen to what the people of Bristol wanted, which part of NO DEVELOPMENT DID THEY LISTEN TO. One of the selection discussion was did the parkland belong to a friends group, that says a lot about factual information.
I would urge other parklands to form groups and join the Parks Forum, it really easy and its free. www.parksforum.org.uk
Why not apply for village green status as this seems the only way to protect much used and loved land.
It seems the council should have reviewed the sell off plan as soon as the realised they wouldn’t raise enough money to fund it – they’re only going to raise £11 million instead of £41 million. But , instead cabinet pushed ahead using their majority and despite calls to delay a decision by the Scrutiny Commission.
