I have been collecting images of local graffiti for a while now, inspired when I couple of images I really liked got pointed over! I guess that is in the nature of it, that graffiti is transient and changes. Indeed in St.Agnes park, I saw that one of the houses had the wall render removed so work could be done and what emerged - some old graffiti reading 'Stuff the Poll Tax'!! read full story / add a comment

Despite recently signing a Community Use Agreement (CUA) that recognises free, informal use of Packers Field in Whitehall, the City Academy (in conjunction with Bristol City Council) have a submitted an application for a 6 lane artificial athletics facility with floodlights. If built, the remaining half of the field open to informal use will be lost and the CUA will be effectively meaningless. It is possible to formally object to the planning application (see below), and we are urging as many people as possible to do so. It only takes 5 minutes to object online, and the more objections received the greater the chances of stopping this development. The people of Whitehall and nearby areas have little enough green space, without it being taken away for private development.

Please pass this documentary link to as many public officials as possible, particularly councillors. read full story / add a comment
