A city councillor left ‘bitterly disappointed’ that a wildlife haven is being built on in South Bristol has admitted ‘many mistakes have been made’ over the saga.
But Tim Rippington, a councillor in Brislington, is to write to Michael Gove and ask for a rethink - the Government minister has control over both the Planning Inspector who gave permission for 260 homes to be built on Brislington Meadows, and - ultimately - Homes England, the Government’s land agency that wants to build them.
The Labour councillor told people living near the meadows that while ‘many mistakes’ were made in the 14-year saga of Brislington Meadows, the biggest one would be bulldozing them for new homes.
