**Apple orchards, not executive flats!*
*Wed 3 December, 7-9pm*
Hamilton House, Stokes Croft

Don't miss this unprecedented opportunity to influence what land is used for
in Bristol.

Bristol City Council is currently consulting communities on how we think
land should be used in Bristol between now and 2026. It is urgent that we
make use of this opportunity to begin creating and realising our dreams of
sustainable, local living.

The Bristol Development Framework (BDF) - the plan that sets out a strategy
for land use in Bristol - provides a way for communities, individuals and
businesses to propose land use for specific sites to the Council. This means
we can insist on land for food rather than flats, for example.

*Get involved!*
Come along on 3 Dec to find out how that disused petrol station or derelict
building in your community could be turned into an orchard, community
supported agriculture or other community space.

This is a practical, action-focused session:

1) If you can, come armed with ideas for sites in your area
2) Find out more about what is and isn't possible
3) Discuss and develop the vision you have for your local neighbourhood.

We look forward to seeing you there for an inspiring evening!

Email team at transitionbristol.net for more information and to let us know you
are coming.
