Bristol’s ruling Labour council has announced it has dropped plans to build homes on a park in Southmead - just 20 days before a by-election there.
Labour’s housing chief said they would not build homes on Doncaster Road Park after they knocked on people’s doors in Southmead and were told no one liked the idea.
The rival Green Party candidate in the by-election claimed Labour had "neglected the views of Southmead residents" until they needed votes.
