A Local Nature Reserve designation would ensure that Grove Wood was managed for wildlife, public enjoyment and educational use - just what the Snuff Mills Action Group have been calling for since 2008. You can help make this happen by: 1) Emailing [email protected] no later than noon on Wednesday June 9th [sorry about the short notice] stating why you think the Council should declare an LNR and buy Grove Wood Title your email: Grove Wood - Cabinet Discussions or something similar 2) Asking to speak at the Cabinet Meeting on June 10th - you need to request this in the email you send the Council 3) Joining Snuff Mills Action Group outside the Council House on College Green on Thursday June 10th at 3.30pm to show how much you want this to happen - make and bring banners! Check the Snuff Mills Action Group blog for more information at http://snuffmills.blogspot.com The report to cabinet can be seen by following the links for the 10th June Cabinet meeting at www.bristol.gov.uk/meetings There was also an article in today's Evening Post, see http://tinyurl.com/24cvo6l ------------------------- Area Green Space Plan Consultation As I mentioned in my last update, the AGSP consultation is starting on Monday (14th June).

Photograph by the author. 2 AN ATLAS OF POST-REFORMATION PLACES OF WORSHIP WITHIN THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE CITY OF BRISTOL By the 14th century Bristol had developed to be the second largest town in England after London and in 1373 it was incorporated as a county in its own right separate from Gloucestershire and Somerset. It was well- endowed with parish churches and by the end of the middle ages most monastic orders were represented with their specific houses. Bristol was not created a city until the establishment of the diocese of Bristol in 1542 based on the former abbey church of St Augustine. The city expanded increasingly rapidly from the late 17th century and by the mid 19th century had well outgrown the area covered by this atlas.
