**UPDATE re: proposed competitor catering concession on Horfield Common near to the Ardagh**
Thank you to everyone who sent comments in response to BCC's proposal to install a competitor catering concession on Horfield Common close to the Ardagh. This decision has now been referred to the licencing committee to consider.
Any objections received to the application will be presented to the committee in a report and it will be open for the public to attend. If you yourself have made a representation, you will be written to directly.
Provisionally, the committee date for Horfield Common will be the 27.11.18. Please see the following link with regards to attending the committee (Public Safety and Protection) - democracy.bristol.gov.uk/mgCommitteeDetails.aspx?ID=164
We are just sorting out who is able to go to this meeting to represent ACT & FoHC are also intending to send a representative; if you can get there & would like to support our objection to this proposal (and potentially our suggestion that there is a better location on Horfield Common for an additional provision if one is wanted) - please get the date into your diary & come along!
Redland Green Choir will mark its tenth anniversary by performing Benjamin Britten's St Nicolas Cantata, excerpts from The Messiah and some 'greatest hits' at St Matthews, Kingsdown at 7.30pm on 1st December. Tickets are £10 (£8 concessions) from www.redlandgreenchoir.org.uk or at the door.
