Bristol Council and a public meeting attended by about 30 people, including a
representative of the police, was held at Trinity Church in November to
discuss possible action. Neighbouring shops expressed concern that it would
damage their business and many people felt that a massage parlour would bring
‘undesirable’ people into the neighbourhood. Residents resolved to log activity
at the parlour and record car numbers to pass on to the police. Councillor
Brian Price was among several people pursuing the issue with BCC planning
department and was told that although the operation was in contravention of
planning use, it might take up to 18 months before the proprietors had
exhausted the various enforcement and appeal procedures and could be finally
closed down. This assumes retrospective planning permission is not granted
for the change of use.
On December 3rd a demonstration was held outside the premises. About 50

The development has led to a lively exchange of views on the Pooles Wharf

It was with great regret that the management committee decided to make Karen Bell
our Community Development worker redundant at the end of December. Although
Karen was 80% funded by money from Bristol City Council’s Community Development
Unit, the Association has inherited both a number of projects from the previous year
which it was committed to fund and was unable to identify a major new source of
income. Having no overdraft facility we could not risk the organisation becoming
insolvent. Karen has worked for the past year on improvements for tenants in
Hillsborough and Carrick House. She has gained funds to revitalise the Youth Club and
set up the Community Forum to bring together all those involved in support services in
the area, as well as co-ordinating numerous other initiatives from Streets for People Day
to the campaigns to save the post office and banish the massage parlour. We shall greatly
miss her professional skills and
commitment.
Amidst this gloom, we have just
put the finishing touches to a new
three year plan, developed with
the help of Vicky Harrison and,
following a lively AGM, welcomed
some new faces to the
management team. We hope to
re-negotiate our funding support
from Bristol City Council for the
next financial year beginning in
April 2005. Meanwhile, all the
existing projects are being carried
on with voluntary help alone. I am

responded to a crisis that could have threatened to extinguish the organisation and feel
confident that we will be able to continue most of our work. There seem to be threats
to our well-being as a community on every side at the moment and huge scope for
improvements if we can act in a co-ordinated and assertive way in dealing with the
agencies that are supposed to serve us. Many of you will have received a brochure for
the 500 Club with your last newsletter and I urge you to consider joining. In case you
haven’t yet, an application form is printed here. Building up our own independent
sources of funding is the best way of ensuring an effective voice for your community and

Never Land and the Wendy
Houses
Remember the original Wendy house in
Barrie's Peter Pan? There's news of a row of
them on Granby Hill. Edward Ware Homes
are sponsoring BOV's Alice in Wonderland
and we couldn't sum up the current state of
affairs better than Alice's own words:
"Curiouser and curiouser".
The site has had three owners in the last five
years.The Edward Ware ‘advertorial' in the
current Clifton Life tells us that ‘EWH is
buying the site from Petherton and urban
repair work is due to start soon'.
FROGG's determined campaign to get the
land zoned as a village green ultimately failed
because current conflicting legislation can be
manipulated in favour of development rather
than retaining green space in cities. It was not
enough to show that Granby Green had been
created and maintained by residents for more
than 20 years.
EWH have now altered the goal-posts with a
revised planning application. Will this
continue to happen as cost revisions come in?
The new application seeks to build 13 units
(instead of 10) and increase the height of the
block of flats by 1 metre.
FROGG has met to discuss the future of the
open space left over and H&CCA has
approached the Council about the 2/3 of this
space which is still in Council ownership.
FROGG members felt an over-elaborate
landscaping proposal needed more

Public space adjoining the

The saga of the land adjoining the Argyle

Despite a history of community use, the
application for recognition as a town green
was lost. Three houses have now been built,
but the remainder of the site is being made
over for public use. The new houses cannot
be occupied until the public space has been
landscaped and replanted.
