Demonstration against Thornbury High Street Changes
Thornbury Town Hall
Following the highly successful Public Meeting at Thornbury Sports Centre on 16 March, Thornbury Town And District Residents' Association has decided that the time has now come to show clear public discontent over the plans by South Gloucestershire Council and its Leader, Toby Savage, to proceed with permanent works to semi-pedestrianise Thornbury High Street.
There will be protest marches in the High Street on Wednesday 6 April and Saturday 9 April, starting at 11.00am. Come to one or, preferably, both.
The meet-up point will be the paved area between Costa and the Town Council office building.
The aim is to walk up and down the street in a peaceful manner, with placards showing residents’ discontent at the way SGC has acted over its plans for the centre of Thornbury, without any Impact studies on environment, traffic, business or anything else, or adequate reason and without adequate public consultation.
The marches have been notified to and approved by the police, and will be completely legal.
Bring a placard, use your voice. Make your opinion of SGC and Toby Savage known.
Friends, neighbours and pets will all be welcome.
Do not obstruct any vehicles legally using the High Street, because these are helping to keep the businesses alive.
