Portacabin Broken Into

The portacabin has been broken into and many people fear it is now being used as a drug den. This only recently happened since the landowner moved it away from a more prominent position nearer the roadside. Where is his 'duty of care' for the woodland?

Litter At The Entrance

Plastic bags, full of empty drink bottles and beer cans are littering the entrance where the landowner has also left tree cuttings and garden waste. A large commercial pack of bottled water has also been abandoned beside the old metal railings.

Council Grant More Protection For The Wood!

Bristol City Council have taken further action by removing the Permitted Development Rights from Grove Wood. This means Mr Jafari can not undertake any developments normally granted to private landowners, such as building walls or installing temporary structures. This now enforces the level of protection the wood should have had from its conservation area status and we hope to see the temporary fencing also removed as it no longer serves any purpose. The council are also seeking to prosecute for the container not being removed by 22nd October 2009.

Portacabin Moved With A Tractor

On Friday 6th November 2009 the portacabin was shunted further into the wood with an old tractor. In the process the woodland floor was wrecked, leaving deep tyre marks in what appears another attempt to degrade the land. Although the landowner is causing more chaos, people can be reassured the campaign group is as strong as ever and that the Council are making some important decisions. Their action may appear slow at times as everything requires authorisation from their legal department.
