Reversing the Safety and Environmental Crisis on Bristol’s Famous Downs.
Donate now to force Bristol City Council to Protect our vital parklands!
Upcoming Events:
Show of Support on Thursday 12 June 2025 at 7.15pm, meet at the Downs water tower - event flier below
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.
Sign our petition! We must show the Green Party run Council that it’s not okay for them to allow our vital green spaces to become environmentally damaged, unsafe and risk losing their special environmental status.
Join our Facebook group to provide evidence of damage, danger and anti-social behaviour on the Downs. Through your support, we will show the Council that it’s not okay for them to turn a blind eye, and allow a small minority to destroy a unique space relied on by so many city residents.
What are the dangers and damage?
· 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.
