Winterbourne Parish Council Report - Frenchay Hospital Site Development

Several people have commented favourably about the clearing up and pruning of trees that has taken place on the Hospital site prior to Winterbourne Parish Council taking it over.

They have also commented on the strip of land at the hospital boundary from the museum round to CLIC cottage. It is overgrown and the wall is collapsing in several places. In fact this strip was given/sold to Gloucestershire County Council in the 1940s in order to widen the road or to make a pavement on this side. No-one can remember after all this time.

Do they still own the land? Apparently so. Will they do anything with the land? I think we can guess the answer to this.

Do the residents of Frenchay have any ideas about what should be done? Please let your Parish Councillors know so that we can have some suggestions for the long term use of this land and try to resolve this matter.
