'City must not sell its soul' - Ferguson's Evening Post column


Distinguished architect and Southville resident, George Ferguson, has used his Evening Post column today to voice his opposition to Bristol City's plans to sell Ashton Gate to supermarket giant Tesco. George makes it clear that he's not anti City and that he wants to see the World Cup come to Bristol. But he says that we shouldn't 'sell our souls to achieve it'.

He describes the proposed massive superstore as 'a terrifying threat to Ashton's economy and environment'. He also urges that the new stadium and Ashton Gate developments must be viewed separately.

Simply Southville urges anyone interested in this development to read the Evening Post article. Well done George!
