Driven by escalating risks to both people, pets and the environment, Protect the Downs aims to hold Bristol City Council accountable for enforcing existing restrictions and bylaws, ensuring the Downs are preserved for legitimate public use by families, walkers, athletes, educators, wildlife-lovers, festival goers from all over our city.
· Increased levels of fear amongst lone women and families, increased levels of flashing and offensive behaviour, caravan fires, bonfires, grass fires, gas canisters left in the road and near pedestrian routes, slum-letting, dangerous roads, dangerous driving on the green spaces, blocked pavements forcing people onto the road etc, all due to the Green Party run Council’s acceptance of general rule breaking.
· Increased pressure on local finances from avoidable clean-up costs and litigation.
· Dumping of non-roadworthy vehicles and caravans.
· Environmental damage from human waste poisoning wild-life and pets, fly-tipping, littering, and exhaust fumes ruining homes and gatherings.
Protect the Downs is a community-led action group focused on restoring the Downs to safe, legal, and sustainable use. It advocates for environmental protection, public safety, and responsible governance through collective civic action.
