A community group in South Bristol has lodged an official complaint against a local councillor, accusing him of bullying and misogyny.
The Friends of Redcatch Park group has formally made a complaint to the Monitoring Officer at City Hall about Cllr Gary Hopkins, who has dismissed the complaint as a ‘crude smear’, in a row over his conduct in a falling-out over the future of the tennis courts at the park.
The Friends group is made up of local residents who volunteer to raise money for and champion the park in Knowle, and the group issued a statement to confirm that its committee of nine voted unanimously at an emergency meeting on Wednesday last week (June 14), to make the formal complaint about Cllr Hopkins behaviour.
