Congratulations SGC what a wonderful ironic completion....
ReplyDelete"Record a snap shot in time...capture the sense of place…what makes it special and unique?" Clearly not that unique if you are allowing development.
While i applaude your approach to community engagement, may I respectfully suggest that YOU record the beauty and natural environment of this area. It is YOU that is allowing it to be removed. Hopefully then, in process of doing so it might become apparent to you what you are doing.
PS spelling Brimsham correctly would be a start in convincing people how much you value this area......
It is SGC that is giving planning permission, but the competition is being run by Yate Town Council to record the area for the community. Also, place name spelling is not an exact science. The original name was Brinsham - after Brinsham Lane and Brinsham Farm - but the Brimsham spelling seems to have been an error starting in the 1970s when Brimsham Green School was built. The park is Brinsham Fields and Brinsham Lake. You will note that the article is tagged at the bottom with both spellings to make it searchable using either. This blog hasn't been consistent, I admit, but both spellings are correct.
ReplyDeleteThank you for clarity on the spelling and who is giving planning permmission. I note with some interest you have not commented on whether you are in support of the development and the irony of calling it special and unique before its built on. Nor have said if SGC or self's will be spending any money recording what is about to be lost forever.
