We are organising a peaceful protest and wassailling event for sunday 17th January at 2pm on shirehampton green with a peaceful march to the daisy field a green field under threat of building (yet another) the council are stripping away green areas and selling them off but not going ahead with building because they 'have no money'. We have lost the allotments, the horse field and now they are starting on the daisy field. The decision about this field which is next to the station has been moved forward to june which co incides with the local elections. We want the community to use it as a community open space or develop it into a community orchard or field site or apply to the countryside agency and make it into a doorstep green. Peaceful protesters are welcome to the event.

WASSAIL we are reviving a tradition in Shirehampton of blessing the trees and marching from shirehampton green to the daisy field an area of green under threat of building by bristol city council. Sunday 17th January at 2pm we meet shirehampton green. This is a peaceful protest, and a gathering of people who want to keep their community open space. The area is full of wildlife and the community want it left alone or developed as a community open space. Only last year new saplings were planted there. Bristol City Council have closed the allotments and adjoining piece of land now sold but not started building on that, we dont want to lose anymore and see it wasted.
