Re: A Worrying Development At The Fleece.

This reminds me of when I went to Manchester and found that they had 
turned the Hacienda into flats:

Hope we don't need such a banner!

Hi Richard
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have been advised by our 
solicitor this morning that it would be a good idea to organise an online 
petition collecting names in support of The Fleece as a vital part of 
Bristol's cultural heritage (exact wording to be discussed later today) so 
there will be a social media campaign after all,
 although we will not be directing people to the planning site. I also 
received a reply late last night from Kerry McCarty MP (Bristol East, 
Labour) and she is coming to The Fleece this afternoon to see the location 
for herself. I will keep the list updated with any major developments.
Sorry to clog up the band newsgroup with all this non music stuff. I'm 
looking forward to posting updates on the album recording sessions in a 
couple of weeks time!

Subject: [BluePlanes] A Worrying Development At The Fleece.  Hi again  
I've had something on my mind for a while which I've decided I need to 
share with you
 all.  The Fleece is currently under threat from a London based property 
development company who have acquired the massive office block right 
outside the front door and have submitted plans to Bristol City Council to 
turn it into about 50 privately owned residential flats. Obviously this 
would be disastrous for the venue if it is approved. I have been fighting 
our corner for the last 6 months and things are now coming to a head. 
There is a link at the end of this email where anyone is free to browse 
the plans for themselves. Members of the public are invited to submit 
their objections by May 21st (tomorrow!). My solicitor has advised me 
against my suggestion of a massive social media/facebook campaign as it 
could do more harm
 than good with the possibility of hundreds of emotionally charged 
knee-jerk objections submitted without reasoned arguments or proper 
consideration.  The reason I have decided to post this here is because you 
are all fans of The Blue Aeroplanes and it's the band who own the venue. 
People who subscribe to this list also come across as an older, more 
intellectual group than the random 20,000 Facebook followers we have on 
the venue's social media network. If any of you have the time to read 
through some of the documents it would be really appreciated if a few of 
you could submit a couple of well reasoned and thoughtfully considered 
objections to these plans on the basis that the development opens the way 
for countless future noise
 complaints which would threaten the existence of a vibrant live music 
venue which is vital to Bristol's cultural development. The Fleece 
currently has no nearby residential dwellings which is why the council has 
not received a single noise complaint against it in the last 10 years. 
This proposed development will put people's bedroom windows 12.5 metres 
away from the stage! I have been advised that the council will take into 
consideration any objection received after the deadline as long as they 
are submitted before the date of the hearing on 29th May.
