Can you believe that the campaign to see Whitchurch Athletics Track regenerated is celebrating its first anniversary today?

It's hard to believe how far we've come and how much has happened. We now have the 3,500 signatures we need and we're heading to Bristol City Council on 8th of July, we've been on ITV News Westcountry, in the Bristol Cable, Athletics Weekly and printed several times in the Evening Post and Bristol World. (Follow the links below to find out more).

Thanks to all those who have been directly involved and those who have been a regular encouragement to persevere despite the huge task at hand.

Please continue to share our campaign across our City as we cannot just stand by and watch essential facilities swamped by a relentless tide of house-building. There is no question that houses are needed but to focus solely on new developments without considering infrastructure and facilities is short-sight and will likely back fire in the long term. 

Thank you for your support so far to see Whitchurch Athletics Track and Bristol Family Cycling Centre saved for now and for the future. 

Let's keep pressing forward!

John
