I work in construction, after years of saving i moved to a flat near the downs. I have seen people using the downs as a toilet, taking drugs, been threatened while walking past a van, my partner has been flashed by someone urinating against a tree from a caravan. This is supposed to be one of Bristols top places to visit. The council are just letting people treat it as a toilet.
Ben supported: Protect the Bristol DownsI have lived in Bristol all my life. As a child we had picnics, played games and flew our kites. I am now in my seventies and I want it Downs to be available for all the generations that follow me without the eyesore it is today. I saved and worked hard to get on the property market and paid 17% at times on my mortgage.
Heather supported: Protect the Bristol DownsSince the increase of van dwellers on the the Downs I have been forced not to use the area. We used to regularly park where the vans are but were eventually forced out due to van residents approaches and witnessing the area being used as a toilet.
We arrived one evening to park in our usual area only to find bollards blocking the public parking space I moved the bollards, because I could not see any official marking on them, to be told they had put them out because of a fire risk something that I can only agree is very possible when you look at the risks in their vans and surrounding area. In fact these bollards were there to save space for fellow van dwellers. When you hear that one van resident earns around £60k but still cannot find accommodation tells me that this is just a way of life and not due to housing shortage. Bristol CC has allowed this to grow over many years and now wonders why there is a problem.
Michael supported: Protect the Bristol DownsAlthough I empathise entirely with the homeless having been close to homelessness myself twice over the past 20 years, the answer is not for the council to allow people to pitch up on the Downs and to defile a recreational space. After WW2 councils throughout the country provided prefab housing as a temporary solution, why not do this now?
jean supported: Protect the Bristol DownsOur daughters memorial bench is on The Downs. Sadly I have lost count of the amount of times that I’ve taken rubbish away or witnessed people coming out of bushes carrying toilet paper. It has become not pleasurable to go and have some reflection time.
The parking signs have been removed making it difficult for anyone to find a space to park and use the open space. After covid everyone needs open space but the caravan dwellers appear to be making the space their own private garden. The roads are narrow as it is without unroadworthy caravans parked up. It’s become a free for all…
Maura supported: Protect the Bristol DownsThis is an incredible place, arguably the most loved by local people and repeat visitors for escaping into the fells. I am deeply concerned United Utilities has only one goal in mind (to ditch responsibility and save money) and is not considering all possible options (we believe the surveyors, Jacobs, offered these) to manage this site sensitively for people and the environment
A supported: Stop United Utilities ruining Crummock Water’s unique beauty and ecology.This is an incredible place, arguably the one most loved by local people for escaping into nature. I am very concerned United Utilities only has one goal in mind (to lose responsibility for the weir and save money) and is not considering all possible options to manage this site, short and long-term.
A supported: Stop United Utilities ruining Crummock Water’s unique beauty and ecology.I have lived locally to Crummock Water for over 30 years and visit the lake to walk or swim weekly. This is one of the last remaining areas of the Lake District which is relatively unspoiled. Please do not destroy this beautiful area. The impact visualisations from United Utilites, particularly around the boat house, appear to be misleading in the amount of exposed beach that will result. And what about the impact on the islands at the south end of the lake where birds nest?
Amanda supported: Stop United Utilities ruining Crummock Water’s unique beauty and ecology.Crummock is a beautiful UNESCO site for many generations to enjoy. The proposed plan puts this at risk. Having visited many times the only solution would be assisted natural recovery as opposed to weir removal, enabling future generations the opportunity to enjoy this beauty spot and allow this lake to remain unspoilt not only for the residents, the tourists but most importantly the wildlife and fauna. Every action causes a reaction, ensure yours is for the grace of good.
Kimberley supported: Stop United Utilities ruining Crummock Water’s unique beauty and ecology.I have visited Crummock Water many times over the years i have lived in Cumbria. It is an important part of the Lake District giving access to activities which are beneficial to peoples well being. The changes proposed will destroy this as well as having a devastating effect on the environment
