The 'Protect the Downs' group say they will tell local residents about the 'potential legal action,' which the Post revealed last week, and also detail how 'everyone can continue putting pressure on the council.

Protect the Downs are to host the public meeting twice on the same night at St Alban's Church in Redland, to ensure everyone who wants to come can get in. The group was formed after a public meeting was held back in March at the same church on the issue of van-dwellers on the Downs, which saw 450 local residents attend and another 150 to 200 locked out outside.
