Stadium decision day for North Somerset

Here is the appeal for participation from the Ashton Vale group:

Dear all

WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER NOW

Re: 9th December North Somerset Town Hall, WSM, 2.30pm


This is the next and perhaps most important round of applications. This Cabinet Meeting will decide if Bristol City Football Club can have access through North Somerset road to the new stadium. A no, would have a dramatic impact on the current plans and would delay the development. We would like as much support as possible, we had a great turn out from people for the Stadium Decision on 4th November, but more than 50 people came from other groups to support us. I hope we will do the same for them when their developments reach the same stage. But we need more people to attend this next meeting. Please don’t leave it up to everyone else.

We have to make more representations at Weston. It would be great if more people would make statements and stand up and tell the Council why it is so important that the stadium is not built. At the last meeting the stadium had lots of people standing up and saying how great it would be, but it relied on a few of us to state our case.

Peter Crispin has been a great support to us, but we need more people to attend and who are willing to speak. Anyone can make a statement. We must make sure that we have at least as many people against as the stadium have for.

I know it’s a difficult time of day, but perhaps worth taking half a day’s leave if you can. It’s so important and has been the one thing that has brought the community together.

If you are willing to read out a short statement please let me know asap so we can get it to the Council on Time.

Please come if you can, once the field is gone, it’s gone forever.

Attached is a picture of the Proposed Stadium, if you increase the size you will soon see just how awful this is going to be and why we have to do everything possible to stop it.

We are also sending out leaflets about The Ashton Park Development.

Look forward to hearing from you. If people need help with transport we can look into this.

Thanks Trish
