bristol? uk's 'green capital'
So where is the actual greenery in Bristol City Council's proposals to achieve this?
This announcment is made at a time when resident groups across the city are expressing concern at the loss of street trees and the lack of commitment on the part of the city to replace them (see numerous articles in local press in recent months). Not only this, BCC is preventing new trees from being planted in bleak environments, even where funds for tree planting have been raised by residents.
Please see tale of woe for residents in Lockleaze at http://groups.google.com/group/BrSN/browse_frm/thread/4454f6407a69b824?hl=en This is not a single occurrence, there are similar stories in Redland and Cotham, and no doubt elsewhere across the city.
