    residents are furiousat the sudden

    appearance of amassage parlour on

    Hotwell Road.What used to be theHotwell Art Gallery atNo 161 opened for

    business as Va VaVoom , l a t e i nOctober. Residents in Pooles Wharf and Rownham Mead made complaints toBristol Council and a public meeting attended by about 30 people, including arepresentative of the police, was held at Trinity Church in November todiscuss possible action. Neighbouring shops expressed concern that it woulddamage their business and many people felt that a massage parlour would bringundesirable people into the neighbourhood. Residents resolved to log activityat the parlour and record car numbers to pass on to the police. CouncillorBrian Price was among several people pursuing the issue with BCC planningdepartment and was told that although the operation was in contravention of

    planning use, it might take up to 18 months before the proprietors hadexhausted the various enforcement and appeal procedures and could be finallyclosed down. This assumes retrospective planning permission is not grantedfor the change of use.On December 3rd a demonstration was held outside the premises. About 50people turned up and the event was widely covered by the local media.The development has led to a lively exchange of views on the Pooles Wharfwebsite forum at www.pooleswharf.co.uk.

    People wanting to record their response to the development can write to planning enforcement atBrunel House, St Georges Rd, Bristol BS1 5UY. Jeremy McNeil has also set up an e-petition on the

    Bristol City Council web site.

    given a send-off he would have appreciatedvery much when shipwright friends built asea-chest coffin and a small procession ofboats followed Tom on Audacious as hemade his last voyage around the harbour.

    It was with great regret that the management committee decided to make Karen Bellour Community Development worker redundant at the end of December. AlthoughKaren was 80% funded by money from Bristol City Councils Community DevelopmentUnit, the Association has inherited both a number of projects from the previous yearwhich it was committed to fund and was unable to identify a major new source ofincome. Having no overdraft facility we could not risk the organisation becoming

    insolvent. Karen has worked for the past year on improvements for tenants inHillsborough and Carrick House. She has gained funds to revitalise the Youth Club andset up the Community Forum to bring together all those involved in support services inthe area, as well as co-ordinating numerous other initiatives from Streets for People Dayto the campaigns to save the post office and banish the massage parlour. We shall greatly

    miss her professional skills andcommitment.Amidst this gloom, we have justput the finishing touches to a newthree year plan, developed withthe help of Vicky Harrison and,following a lively AGM, welcomedsome new faces to the

    management team. We hope tore-negotiate our funding supportfrom Bristol City Council for thenext financial year beginning inApril 2005. Meanwhile, all theexisting projects are being carriedon with voluntary help alone. I am

    tremendously grateful and deeplyheartened by the way people have

    responded to a crisis that could have threatened to extinguish the organisation and feelconfident that we will be able to continue most of our work. There seem to be threatsto our well-being as a community on every side at the moment and huge scope forimprovements if we can act in a co-ordinated and assertive way in dealing with the

    agencies that are supposed to serve us. Many of you will have received a brochure forthe 500 Club with your last newsletter and I urge you to consider joining. In case youhavent yet, an application form is printed here. Building up our own independentsources of funding is the best way of ensuring an effective voice for your community andtapping in to sources of extra money for projects of local benefit.Ray Smith

    Remember the original Wendy house inBarrie's Peter Pan? There's news of a row ofthem on Granby Hill. Edward Ware Homesare sponsoring BOV's Alice in Wonderland

    and we couldn't sum up the current state ofaffairs better than Alice's own words:"Curiouser and curiouser".The site has had three owners in the last fiveyears.The Edward Ware advertorial' in thecurrent Clifton Life tells us that EWH isbuying the site from Petherton and urbanrepair work is due to start soon'.FROGG's determined campaign to get theland zoned as a village green ultimately failedbecause current conflicting legislation can bemanipulated in favour of development ratherthan retaining green space in cities. It was not

    enough to show that Granby Green had beencreated and maintained by residents for morethan 20 years.

    EWH have now altered the goal-posts with arevised planning application. Will thiscontinue to happen as cost revisions come in?The new application seeks to build 13 units(instead of 10) and increase the height of theblock of flats by 1 metre.FROGG has met to discuss the future of theopen space left over and H&CCA hasapproached the Council about the 2/3 of thisspace which is still in Council ownership.FROGG members felt an over-elaboratelandscaping proposal needed moreconsultation. Mike Butler

    Never Land and the WendyHouses

    Negotiations between local residents, BristolCity Council and the developers haveproduced some fine-tuning to the originalplans. The strip of land between the playarea and the Lion pub will now have a binstore for the pubs waste bins, so that theyno longer block the pavement. But there will

    still be room for a pathway to the lowergreen. The play area will continue to beseparately fenced, for safety reasons, but theformer gate to the lower green will bereplaced by a gate at the corner of the playarea. On the lower green three trees arebeing planted, including a substantial ash.There will be an area of wild grass, not as bigas we might like, and a bench with a viewover the harbour.

    Land below Cliftonwood Terrace

    Bristol City Council owns a strip of landbelow Cliftonwood Terrace, running fromthe Mardyke Steps through to the Essogarage on Hotwell Road. Much of this land iscovered in trees and buddleia, and hasbecome a haven for wildlife.The Council is in the process of declaring theland surplus to requirements, which is likelyto mean that it is sold to the highest bidder -although at least part of it might conceivablybe taken over by one of the Councildepartments for community use.

    Expressions of interest in the land had to bemade to the Councils Valuer by 7 January2005, so the deadline will have passed by thetime this Newsletter is published. But youmight be able to find out how things aregoing by writing to Rod Taplin, Head ofValuation Practice, Bristol City Council, BBond, Smeaton Road, BS1 6EE. A group oflocal residents are trying to influence theCouncil on this matter. You can be updatedby phoning Don Egginton on 9257508 oremailing [email protected].

    Public space adjoining theArgyle Place play area

    The saga of the land adjoining the ArgylePlace play area may be drawing to a close.Despite a history of community use, theapplication for recognition as a town greenwas lost. Three houses have now been built,but the remainder of the site is being madeover for public use. The new houses cannotbe occupied until the public space has beenlandscaped and replanted.

    Cumberland Basin FlyoverFollowing a presentation at the AGM inNovember by Sandra Fryer of BCC andlocal civil engineer Alf Perry it wasresolved to set up a working group todiscuss ideas for the future of the areaaround Cumberland Basin. Althoughmost people were interested in the spaceunder the flyover on the North side of thebasin, Alf pointed out that the south sidehad development potential and this couldrelease money for improvements to thewhole area.

    Its not often done these days, but in the pastit was a common occurrence, and you canfind the evidence in and around Hotwells ifyou look around. Its the idea that if you thinkhard enough, you can put waste and scrap togood use in buildings and otherconstructions. Here are some examples you

    can find!Most people already know that the huge ironchains on the Clifton Suspension Bridge werereused from a bridge across the river Thamesin London. But there are less spectacularexamples. If you look at the bottom of therailings in Dowry Square, you will see someshaped black blocks.These blocks are a very low grade glassmoulded from the molten slag that sits on thetop of the smelter when refining copper.This was a major industry to the north ofBristol, and these blocks in varying shape can

    be found all over Bristol.

    In the past the railways were a good sourceof reusable material. Look for the railwaylines used as supports for the big noticeboard near the Cumberland Basin lockentrance, and if you're very lucky, you may just be able to see the gateposts at the Jacobs Well roundabout near to theentrance to Gas Ferry Lane. These weremade from a very early patterns of railway

    line, two of them being joined back to back,with a special cast iron top fitted to them.They will probably end up as scrap or landfillvery soon, so be quick if you want to seethem.

    A bit further afield, there is an iron cannonlet into the ground as a mooring post nearthe old McArthur warehouse near the SSGreat Britain, and two more near theLlandoger Trow. We havent quite given upthe idea of reusing materials for buildingpurposes, however. As you might expect, theCREATE Environment Centre has some goodexamples. Here, wooden railway sleepers areused as bollards, railway lines as fence rails,

    and some of the bricks in the Ecohome arerecycled from other buildings. Finally, nexttime you pass a sign giving you the name of astreet, look at the supports for thenameplate. If theyre about 3 inches square,and shiny black with a slightly crinkly surface,theyre made from scrap plastic recoveredfrom farms, where they were used to wrapup huge bales of cattle food.

    MEET YOUR NEIGHBOURRob Salvidgethe ferryman

    When I told people that I wasto interview Rob Salvidge

    everyone said what a nice manhe is well its true!

    I was welcomed on to his huge

    barge moored in Welsh Back byJane his wife and sat with Rob at thetable in the living /kitchen areawhere we were joined from time totime by young people wearingBr is to l Ferryboat Companysweatshirts who popped up fromtime to time from the office which isbelow decks. Rob and Jane have runthe familiar blue and yellowferryboats for the last 4 years. Jane

    oversees the staff, admin and accounts and also drives the ferries ( they have 30 staffon the books , about 12 full time and 6 extras in summer) The office work is sharedby two young women who also work on the boats for variety.Rob describes himself as passionate about Bristol and excited by Radio Bristol forwhich he has been a well known presenter for over 30 years. He started with localnews, chat and information and one of his guests was Ian Bungard who would comein to publicise the ferries, which he had started as the Bristol Ferryboat Company.Both Rob and Jane have had experience as crew members, sailing large racing yachts.He was a crew member on Tony Bullimores catamaran in the Atlantic, which wasracing around the world at Christmas 2001 while Jane was in a race in the Pacific.This seems to have been a catalyst in their taking over the Ferryboat company sothat they could spend future Christmases together!

    Rob has links with Hotwells as his great grandfather had a butchers shop and usedto collect his animals live from the side of the shop that was more recentlyBrendas and his dad was born in Sandford Road. The butchers shop wasdemolished to make way for the flyover,Rob has great enthusiasm for the ferries and gave me a history of their use in theharbour.They started in 1976 when City Docks Ventures saw the possibilities of leisure useof the docks. They bought Margaret, the last ferry which had linked Pill toShirehampton but was now in the mud. Other boats were acquired and an operatorwas found in Ian Bungard who started the Bristol Ferryboat Company 25 years ago,with help with restoration by Bristol Development Corporation. Serious thoughtwas put into making the ferries collect commuters from Hotwells, and in 1994, aftera refit, Emily was taking people to Temple Meads. The Mathilda, a new modern,stable boat was built by Ian Bungard in 1997, and has paid for herself by calling atHotwells, the caravan site, the Great Britain, @Bristol and the Industrial Museum,having started, four years ago, being available for tourists in winter too.The newest ferry is the cross harbour one from near the new flats on the HotwellRoad to the Great Britain. It was a regular summer service in 2004 and is run as acommuter service in the winter. Bicycles are allowed on board! This is funded bythe City Council, Business West, and Vivaldi European cleaner cities fund.Rob has no worries about the competition from other operators as on busy days inthe summer they need all the ferry space that is available and at other times he isproud to run to a timetable that people can rely on. The council also continues to

    support the commuter service mornings and evenings.So remember to use this fun and reliable alternative transport system as an outingfor your visitors or an enjoyable way of taking you into town.Helen Smith
