Concerns have been raised after a dangerous incident on the Downs where a motorist drove towards dozens of children in an outdoor classroom. This was after human excrement had to be cleared from the area in order for the youngsters' outing to continue.
The incident took place on July 5 when 56 children visited the area from Weston-super Mare for an education session by the Avon Gorge & Downs Wildlife Project. The children were aged between four and six and were with adult helpers.
In an email sent by AGDWP to the Downs Committee - seen by Bristol Live - the group says it arrived for the session and found the area strewn with human excrement and wipes. These were removed or covered over by the adults as the children were small and there was no time to take them to find another space.
