@ChopsyBristol As much evidence of what?

'Gathering as much evidence as they can and we will share...' Here's Bristol City Council spying in 2021: bristolsendspying.com/social-media-s…

Ex-Cllr Hopkins new newsletter is full of wild inaccuracies re Broadwalk. Fails to mention his shameful uncritical support for previous scheme & claims “objectors will have achieved their aims of…degrading our town centre”.Beyond reason or parody. Time to retire for common good?

@AmadoandIgloo @Catherinewith11 @TristanCorkPost It sounds like you weren’t very familiar with the plans as this is a 42% reduction in the number of dwellings, and 50% reduction in size. We were gutted to not be able to reduce the Wells Rd corner, but it’s still a huge improvement

@Catherinewith11 @TristanCorkPost I fail to see how this is an improvement. It certainly isn't for the people on the Wells Road side.

BREAKING: First look at fresh plans for 'Redcatch Quarter' after residents & developers of Broadwalk Shopping Centre in South Bristol reached an agreement ahead of a Judicial Review into the saga. bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

@grahammorris73 So sorry to hear this, sounds horrible. I hope the new treatment helps

I have been unwell and lethargic for over 2 months now. Being treated at Southmead hospital. Care is wonderful as, for some reason I am very effectively attacking my own kidneys. Kidney function currently less than 10% but on dialysis and biopsy due Tuesday. 🖖💪

@DanicaPriest @bristolgreen It's very clear that the lease can be revoked. Officers would appear to be meandering without transparency.

Labour kicked @Catherinewith11, the farmer at Yew Tree Farm off of the land she was grazing and gave the licence to the people responsible for trashing a dormice hedgerow. @bristolgreen promised to fix @LabourBristol cruel mistakes if elected but now council officers are refusing

@DanicaPriest @BristolLabour @bristolgreen @TonyDDyer @EllieFreemanBS3 Too expensive?! Just send an officer with a clipboard and it’s take them 5 mins to count the size of the herd! And the audacity of attempting to sound so fiscally responsible while being such a spineless dick… 🤯😡

@StickyChappers @BristolLabour @bristolgreen @TonyDDyer @EllieFreemanBS3 John Smith said it’s too expensive to investigate any breaches… that’s genuinely his excuse 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t care anymore I’m spilling the tea because this has gone too far. We were told by a helpful Cllr that the officers needed to feel like they ‘won’ over the Yew Tree Farm situation, that it was personal for them and they needed to ‘defeat us’ and wouldn’t stop until they do

@DanicaPriest @BristolLabour @bristolgreen @TonyDDyer @EllieFreemanBS3 Power corrupts eh? I felt really let down when @bristolgreen didn’t withdraw from the @BroadwalkRCG JR, but this is another level of betrayal

@StickyChappers @BristolLabour @bristolgreen @TonyDDyer @EllieFreemanBS3 He was the one who said standing behind a banner should mean something. What happened there? What changed?

@DanicaPriest @BristolLabour @bristolgreen @TonyDDyer @EllieFreemanBS3 Just thinking, does he also know that the current farmer is breaching the terms of the grazing license? I heard her cows are too big & there are too many of them. Wouldn’t that give Tony the perfect reason to evict her without undermining the officers? (Not that it should matter)

@StickyChappers @BristolLabour @bristolgreen @TonyDDyer Yep he’s seen it but he won’t talk to us anymore. He’s asked officers not to include him in emails about Yew Tree Farm too. We just get directed by @EllieFreemanBS3 to talk to John Smith about it.

@DanicaPriest @BristolLabour @bristolgreen Do you know if @TonyDDyer has seen this? It seems such an easy win

@StickyChappers @BristolLabour @bristolgreen Yep! They only have to give 2 months notice to revoke the licence. It’s as clear as day. So why isn’t it being done?

@DanicaPriest @BristolLabour @bristolgreen This is all so stupid and childish!! The Greens can revoke the license tho can’t they? Isn’t there a notice period they could instigate? I expect this from Marvin’s gang of Neanderthals but don’t understand why Tony hasn’t revoked the license yet???

@StickyChappers @BristolLabour @bristolgreen This started under Labour with the planning application for the cemetery expansion but has continued and officers are livid that the expansion on the farm was thrown out in October. They are determined to ‘win’ at all costs and they are dragging down the Greens with them

@bristolgreen @TonyDDyer @AniST @GuyPoultney can you shed any light on this? I thought it was normally managed by the Parks team?

Does anyone know why the Yew Tree Farm grazing licence is managed by John Smith @BristolCouncil?! He’s one of BCC’s most senior people, what an absurd (or suspicious) waste of resources! @AudreySuzanne @stillawake @bristol_citizen @JoePBanks @Catherinewith11 @DanicaPriest

@MyPawIsStuck @BristolCouncil @AudreySuzanne @stillawake @bristol_citizen @JoePBanks @Catherinewith11 @DanicaPriest Hmmmm… having just taken them to the brink of a Judicial Review for planning permission irregularities, I’ve got a lot to say on that subject!

@StickyChappers @BristolCouncil @AudreySuzanne @stillawake @bristol_citizen @JoePBanks @Catherinewith11 @DanicaPriest Are Bristol Council corrupt?

@DanicaPriest It’s not even like @BristolCouncil are being subtle about their corruption and manipulation of the situation! @Catherinewith11 is being scapegoated and punished! Is it true they granted the license to Liz AFTER the debacle where Liz’s cattle trampled people’s graves in the Crem?!

Get your popcorn out everyone…. We have tea to spill. The gloves are off. It’s time to expose this madness. The fight for Yew Tree Farm continues! 💪

Everything at DMS begins by translating data into insights, and insights into creative. We embrace what you’ve learnt so far, and know about your supporter base, and build upon this to understand the dynamics which have underpinned previous campaign performance. 𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬’ 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬 – 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Whilst we encourage clients to focus on the metrics that provide instant insights into the health of the programme: RR%, ADV, ROI, 2nd gift rates etc, we also believe that there is a need for ‘softer’ metrics within the HE sector, that do justice to the non-financial ways that alums can engage and participate with the university (e.g. volunteering, event attendance or mentoring). Our Senior Strategist comes from a data-led fundraising background. This, coupled with a wealth of HE experience within our teams, gives DMS a unique edge as we can use data insights to solve creative problems and ensure that our creative ideas are perfectly matched to the right audience (or vice versa, depending on approach). From working with the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐦 to activate 876 new/deeply-lapsed donors in a single appeal, to raising more than £270,000 in an appeal around funding important scholarships for the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬. From fundraising to equip new gene therapy laboratories on the forefront of Parkinson’s and MND treatment breakthroughs for the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝, to investing in the next generation of under-represented scholars starting out on their university journey at the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡, our strategic, tailored approach enables the development of compelling communications that inspire alumni to support, time and time again.

@char1iewatts I heard that Gary Hopkins did that several times in Knowle, including a Costa, on the basis that it would harm the cafes already in Broadwalk. So now we have nail bars and tanning shops, and the small businesses he was protecting have all gone bust anyway

I’m often writing about a complete lack of facilities in Bristol communities, but over in Fishponds someone has objected to plans for a new bar in an old takeaway by saying the area already has too many pubs and restaurants. Absurd bristolworld.com/lifestyle/food…

@AudreySuzanne @HistoricEngland @BristolCivicSoc @bristol247 Wow I had no idea that was there! Amazing

Thank you @HistoricEngland With vulture-like developers circling Broadmead (assuming the whole area is ripe for demolition & replacement with 'anywhere architecture' tower blocks) we need to recognise & protect its history. @BristolCivicSoc Inside photos in (2/2) @bristol247 1/2
