the campaign to save the ecologically important species rich green space known as Novers Hill/The Novers from development. retweet ≠ endorsement

[Friends of the Western Slopes 🍃💚🍃 @FriendsWESlopes]

We are thrilled the committee did the right thing and refused @Lovell_UK s application on Novers Hill. Thank you to the councillors and officers and everyone who submitted statements and spoke at the meeting. We did it!! People power works! 💚🦇🌳🐝🐴

@nicolabeech Yeah that’s what we thought

[Friends of the Western Slopes 🍃💚🍃 @FriendsWESlopes]

If you want to protect your Green Spaces don’t vote labour. If they didn’t lose their majority in 2021 the Western Slopes would be gone by now. Thanks to cross party collaboration with every party except labour we were able to overturn their disastrous plans and keep our SNCI💚

Message here from GF is Vote Labour and you’ll get hundreds (it’s actually thousands) of well connected, sustainably located homes for Bristol.

Vote green and you won’t.

Most honest tweet I’ve seen from a green in a while - refreshing… #VoteWisely

@nicolabeech What part isn’t true? Are you claiming you didn’t plan to build on the western slopes? The cabinet meeting where you personally voted to build on it is still on YouTube Nicola.

@misterduncan @JustinBaileyart @BristolTreeFora @BristolCouncil I think you are well aware Catherine has a few pigs she has no cattle she has never grazed the ground at yew tree farm with cattle it’s a no brainier that they give the lease to the people that have farmed the ground for the last 50+ years

[Friends of the Western Slopes 🍃💚🍃 @FriendsWESlopes]

@marleybennett @beardedjourno We love that you can respond to this but not when anyone asks you to comment about Yew Tree Farm 😂

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

@harryburnet @paulpowlesland It’s a shame you are happy to respond to Paul and not me. It’s also a shame you can’t say anything about Yew Tree Farm. There’s no excuse since the current Cllrs have spoken out against Marvin’s recent actions against @Catherinewith11 so why can’t you start now and respond to me?

[LilasT @Lilas_T_]

@harryburnet @paulpowlesland And yet you haven’t replied to anyone else on this thread asking you about the environmental destruction happening under Labour just 15 mins from your ward? Not even @Catherinewith11?

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

@harryburnet Are you serious? Have you seen what your party is doing to Yew Tree Farm? Have you seen how your leader has dismissed the advice of Avon Wildlife Trust, RSPB and numerous other experts? @Catherinewith11 can you believe this??? 🤯https://t.co/JuJHDmY2Ql

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

You can start with saving Yew Tree Farm first!!! I can’t believe the audacity of Bristol Labour trying to claim they care about ancient green spaces while they are pushing destruction of a dormice habitat as we speak! #saveyewtreefarm

[Brislington Meadows @BrisMeadows]

And yet Kerry is telling us we have to accept that the Meadows must be built over even though her government could commit to stopping it when elected. @KerryMP it’s not too late to make that commitment to us. Labour will be controlling Homes England so they could save us

[Cllr David Wilcox @David_on_a_bike]

I’m delighted we stopped the use of Glyphosate on our street.
Speak to your local councillor to opt-out.

[Sara Venn 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ she/her @Saralimback]

My heart is breaking for @Catherinewith11

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

You forgot the fine print where it says… ‘Bristol Labour…building Over Yew Tree Farm and other beloved green spaces’ #voteGreen

[Charlie Watts @char1iewatts]

Bristol’s working-class communities suffer again

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

It was nice to run by the Western Slopes on my way home and see the blossoms blooming. Our banners are still there from when we fought the council to save this beloved community asset. Never underestimate people power ✊💚

[Danica Priest🦇🦎🦇🦎🍃💚🍃 @DanicaPriest]

Successful day of leafleting and speaking to residents. I’m really overwhelmed by the kindness and support so many of you have shown me. I promise I’ll pay you back by being a hard working and loyal councillor. 💚

[Friends of the Western Slopes 🍃💚🍃 @FriendsWESlopes]

Remember when Labour still wanted to develop over the Slopes so @nicolabeech said that ‘outer Bristol’ already has enough green spaces so she ‘unapologetically’ wants to boost sites like castle park instead? Imagine saying a nationally rare SNCI isn’t working hard for nature 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Fran Whitlock @FranWhitlock]

@nicolabeech 4/4...fails to take into account the enormous value of untouched green spaces whose purpose is to 'work hard' for wildlife. They also 'work hard' for local residents in 'the poorest half of the city' who appreciate being next to nature, even if it's not publicly accessible...

[Fran Whitlock @FranWhitlock]

@nicolabeech 3/4 ...3. This notion of green spaces which 'work harder' is, if I understand you correctly, about spaces which have housing, commercial buildings, shops or other facilities/amenities included. I'm basing this on your endorsement of the Castle Park development. Such an approach..

[Fran Whitlock @FranWhitlock]

@nicolabeech 2/4...misleading, and doesn't tell the full story. BS4 may have more open space, but many people can't access it due to lack of transport or mobility issues, or they have no time as they're rushed off their feet. Also, some of these green spaces are not open to the public.
