Save Nightingale Valley Petition

Nightingale Valley is much loved by the many local families that frequent this haven for badgers, foxes, squirrels, owls, robins, finches, wild flowers, trees, etc.

This web site, (at StAnnesPark.com), is available, at no cost, for publicising local issues.

In contrast to the hustle and bustle of busy St Anne's and Brislington, hidden away from view, is the tiny oasis of countryside which is Nightingale Valley.

The valley is a haven for nature and wildlife, with various types of birds, small animals, wild flowers and trees.

It provides a safe and pleasant walk for many people from a substantial area of St Annes and Brislington, and no matter what the time of day you will always find someone enjoying the peaceful surroundings, ambling through with their dogs, their children, or just enjoying their own solitude.

SAVED BY YOUR EFFORTS - THANK YOU ALL

A planning application was submitted for the destruction of the existing cottage in the valley, and the building of two three-storey buildings each housing 6 two-bedroom flats.
There was considerable opposition to this proposal.
