Re: A Worrying Development At The Fleece.

[Chris Sharp <chris.sharp4@vi...net>]

Hi Abi

Yes that's fine. There have only been one or two objections from the 
public so far and they are mostly about the design of the building. I just 
feel it would be helpful if there were a couple of objections from people 
who are concerned about Bristol losing one of it's most established live 
music venues due to noise complaints from future residents.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look

Chris
