COOPERS WORKS

As well as the houses already approved for the land next to Coopers, there is now a proposal to flatten the factory and build housing on the whole site.There's no planning application yet, but the developers have just persuaded Tory-run South Glos to let them off more than £200,000 of community contribution for the first part of the site.

• Let Ruth Davis or Sue Walker know what you think about the Coopers proposals
• Builder's website is www.terramond.co.uk/current-westerleigh-works.shtml 
• Phase 1 got planning consent in August 2008 PK06/2774/O
• Phase 2 concept consultation starts in May

RODFORD SCHOOL

Without any consultation with local people, the Tories on South Glos have decided to flatten the school and sell the site to the highest bidder, which will almost inevitably mean more housing. Yate Town Council has put in a proposal to rescue the playing field part as sports pitches, a changing room and allotments.

• Tell Alan Lawrance or Dafydd Holbrook what you think should happen to the site

ELSWICK PARK (SEA STORES)

Taylor Wimpey tried to wriggle out of their contribution towards community buildings, and also attempted to cut down the environmental standard of their properties, but the Lib Dem Focus Team councillors managed to fight that off.

• Now they've come up with some new designs for the flats facing Kennedy Way
• And they are planning to put a Toucan crossing from the Sea Stores across Kennedy Way, between the roundabout and the entrance to Elswick Park, right outside 23 Cabot Close
• Please let Ruth Davis or Sue Walker know what you think about their proposals
