Ward profiles 2021: Bishopston & Ashley Down – ‘Parks in this area are a lifeline’ By Ellie Pipe, Wednesday Mar 17, 2021 The sound of children making the most of some late afternoon sun by the Ardagh is a welcome sign things are slowly returning to normal. It’s not just the young enjoying the daffodil-fringed greenery of Horfield Common on Monday either, as the area is alive with people running, strolling, reading, playing football and walking their dogs. “The parks and green spaces in this area are a lifeline,” says Sam Thomson, CEO of The Ardagh Community Trust. Rooted in the heart of this much-loved communal space, the organisation secured a community asset transfer lease for the Ardagh site in 2019 and runs the café, tennis courts and many more activities in non-Covid times.
