Last Friday of half term and Cotham School’s CCTV cameras are still blaring hostile messages to the public using Stoke Lodge. These cameras were declared unlawful by Bristol City Council planning team over 2 months ago but Cotham continues to spend ££ on surveillance not education.

This week Cotham School conducted no PE lessons at Stoke Lodge at all - they used Golden Hill instead. One post-school game with RGS. For this they have squandered hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money. It’s never been about education, never been about safeguarding.

Is everyone enjoying Gone? Partly filmed at Downside School nr Radstock. Beautiful playing fields including a public footpath; pitches laid out either side. Yet Cotham School is about to waste multiple teacher salaries claiming they are unable to do same at Stoke Lodge! #landgrab

The reality is Jo Butler knows many other schools are perfectly capable of managing this. And she knows it’s not a safeguarding issue, and Ofsted doesn’t think playing fields must be fenced.

Today is ‘D Day’ for Bristol and Brislington - bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n… - If approved it will result in the worst environmental disaster to be suffered by the city since the Blitz in WWII.

When I went out for sun and air Cotham School just wasn’t there They weren’t there yet again today And still they block our rights of way. Cotham School uses less than 1/3 of Stoke Lodge for <6% of daylight hours. Bristol City Council @Bristol247 Darren Jones MP Open Spaces Society

Community action is again needed to stop developers steamrollering decisions through. If all it takes for a developer to get what they want (against the will of councillors) is the threat of legal action, then they need to be met in kind. gofund.me/b1ef85846

Has anyone seen Cotham School? Hey, Cotham School, r u ok hun? Because over here at Stoke Lodge we haven’t seen you AT ALL this week! What about the hundreds of thousands of pounds you spent fencing the public out of Stoke Lodge? Are you just landbanking now?

Cotham School’s use of Stoke Lodge for sport is now less than 5% of daylight hours (and <1/3 of field). They’ve been just 5 times in the last FOUR WEEKS & gates are locked 24/7. Our view: Cotham School is the most hostile & antagonistic school in Bristol. Prove us wrong.

Stoke Lodge. As it was. As it should be. As it will be again. This is what Cotham School doesn’t get. It’s not #Just4Cotham. It’s for all of us, for always. And we’ll make sure it stays that way.

This is not an April Fool but it deserves to be: in what we can only assume to be a misguided bid to support a narrative about dog mess at Stoke Lodge, certain individuals have been planting fake poo. Beyond stupid, and deserves the mocking it’s getting. youtu.be/_IewZRMVLOU?si…

Stoke Lodge often called one of the cleanest playing fields in Bristol, recently covered in dog waste bags FILLED WITH MUD!

At least two names now

Lots of reaction on local social media today to the absurd but true story of bags of fake poo being planted at Stoke Lodge, plus coverage here from Bristol24/7. #dirtytricks bristol247.com/news-and-featu…
