“With no legal duty for the provision of parks and green spaces, it is very important that the politicians, who will make decisions about the future of parks and green spaces, commit to ensuring this public provision across the city is maintained. bristol247.com/news-and-featu…

We hope Kerry McCarthy Thangam Debbonaire Karin Smyth MP Darren Jones MP will be in parliament on Wednesday to make sure this bill to ban peat in horticulture is brought into law. PeatFreeApril

It’s time to make this an election issue.
Despite a promise to cut pesticide use by half, still Bristol City Council and thousands across the city regularly use these harmful chemicals. It must stop.

Today we, with co-signatories including @alliancewalking, @sustrans, @bristoltreefora, @lockleazehub, North Bristol SusCom, UWE Bristol & MOD Abbey Wood sent an open letter to CEO Legal & General calling for an urgent reopening of the Concorde Way at Lockleaze bristolcycling.org.uk/open_letter_to…

The decision on allotment rents has been 'called in'.

The call-in committee meets this evening to investigate whether the decision process breeches the council's own guidelines.

We've submitted some lovely questions for their consideration!

Happy St Patrick’s Day, Bristol ☘️

Our petition to stop the rule changes and rent rises got over 6000 signatures, with 3965 from Bristol residents! Just wow!

It is being debated at full council tonight. The public can attend so do go along.

“We need to deal with poverty. And we need to deal with the economics of supermarkets, which are deformed.”

This petition needs 3,500 signatures with a Bristol postcode to trigger a Full Council debate.
Only one Full Council left under the outgoing Mayor & cabinet, so Bristolians need to get signing to debate it in April

'There are dangerous assumptions in calling allotments 'private food growing' in 'gated communities',' says Edible Bristol founder, Sara Venn

We understood the reason for this whole consultation around allotments was partly to make allotments more accessible. How does an increase in more than 100% in some cases make anything more accessible?

We were also somewhat concerned to hear the @bristolcouncil allotment price rises described as nothing more than the cost of a price of a cup of coffee.
As if all allotmenteers can afford to frequent cafes.
