By Mike Murch. They say all good things must come to an end – well this is certainly true of the BS10 Parks and Planning Group. Back in May last year, I said I intended to step down as Secretary at the end of 2023. As this is a key role, unless anyone came forward to replace me, the Group would have to fold.
Well unfortunately that is the situation we faced at the December meeting, so reluctantly it was decided to wind up this Volunteer Group.
I said at the December meeting that this group had been well supported by the residents of Henbury and Brentry, and it was a mystery why Southmead residents seemed to be not at all interested in the huge developments going on just across the border in South Gloucestershire.
These developments will have a huge impact on all people in both Southmead and Henbury and Brentry with well over 9000 extra homes being built; added to that will be schools, hotels, Doctors, Dentists, restaurants, and of course The Arena.
So, what of the future? See the item below about the new Community Forum to be organised and chaired by Councillors in both Southmead and Henbury and Brentry.
