A group who contested decades-long use of an overflow car park for Bristol Zoo are claiming victory after the organisation that runs the Downs settled out of court.
Bristol Zoo has been allowed to continue using the land until it leaves its historic Clifton home, but once it has gone, the site will be restored for use only for Downs related activities .
Downs for People celebrate success in keeping cars from parking on the site

Four new goats introduced to Avon Gorge
By Amanda Cameron, Monday Apr 26, 2021
Four new billy goats have been introduced to Avon Gorge to help control unwanted scrub.
The new animals bring the number in “goat gully” back up to six after four of the original herd died several years ago.
Six wild Kashmiri goats were introduced into the enclosure on a steep section of the gorge by Seawalls in 2011.
Independent journalism is needed now more than ever.
Their job was to control scrub growth so that rare wildflowers and grasses, such as the Bristol onion and Bristol rock cress, can grow freely on the limestone ridge.
