• Tree Felling
  In July 2007 the owner of the burial ground, Mr Sansone, tried unsuccessfully (and without the appropriate planning permission) to fell the trees surrounding the burialground. He was stopped by Bristol City Council Planning Enforcement Team, but not before three trees had been felled or partially felled. The remains of the trees have not been removed. Following this incident a planning application has been made to the Bristol City Council by a member of our group (in their own name) in the hope that the trees can be managed in a more sympathetic manner. This would give the local residents more light into their houses, help prevent the build up of leaves in roof gutters, and prevent damage to the vehicles of local businesses. It has always been the intention of the Friends to work with the local residents and businesses alongside the owner in carefully managing this green space.
• New Secretary
