Save Court House Farm campaign receives boost

PORTISHEAD Town Council has backed the campaign to stop Court House Farm being sold off.

At a meeting on Wednesday night councillors approved a motion put to the council by chairman Councillor David Pasley.

The motion said;

Portishead and North Weston Town Council consider Court Farm and Springfield Farm to be of the utmost importance to the town's history and character.

The sale of this historic site by Bristol City Council is deeply concerning.

The town council expressly wishes the buildings and land to be protected from development now and in the future.

The open amenity space which has been used as grazing/agricultural land for centuries and is classified as such, must remain a green and open space as any form of development would seriously and permanently damage the character of Portishead

The town council fully supports residents' efforts to protect and preserve this jewel in the town's crown.

Councillors voted unanimously to back the motion.

Copies of the resolution will now be sent to Bristol City Council and North Somerset Council.
