Objecting to planning application is the right of any citizen. Find out how to block this application and the grounds on which you can object.

At the moment the campaign is being run by volunteers at the cost of their own time and trouble.

It's complex, expensive and time consuming to gather opinions, consult experts, draw up plans and arrange finance for major projects. But time, consultation and exploration have to be available if the Zoo Gardens are to have a better future.

We need to let the owners of the Zoo, its Trustees, its management, its shareholders and its employees know that we are outraged at the loss of the Zoo and the prospect of it turning into an exclusive, private housing estate. Spread the word using the #savebristolzoogardens hashtag.

Please let us have your e-mail address so we can keep you up to date with news and count you as one of our supporters.

Write or talk to decision makers such as the Chair of the board, individual Trustees & Councillors.
