The future of Bristol’s famous Downs is for more smaller events and a focus on the environment - according to more than 1,800 people who contributed to the first survey of its kind in the history of the historic open space.
The Downs Committee’s survey, which was launched earlier this year, asked people what they thought the priorities for Clifton Down and Durdham Down, and whether the balance of keeping the Downs as green space and as a place where events happen was the right one.
And, by and large, the majority of people who took part in the consultation backed the status quo - both in terms of the kind of stuff that happens on the Downs, and also the way the space is governed.
