LATEST PLANNING APPLICATIONS P15 WHAT’S ON GUIDE P22&23
Tree planted in memory of Joy FAMILY and friends of the wondeful Joy Langley came together on Gainsborough Square at the end of last month to plant a tree in her memory. An active and well-loved figure in the local community, Joy passed away after a short illness on September 15 last year. There was a strong desire to create a lasting memorial for Joy in Lockleaze. A beautiful acer tree has been planted next to the playground, somewhere where all who knew and loved her can go to remember, reflect and celebrate the life of this amazing woman. Joy was a beloved and hugely respected member of this community. North Bristol Advice Centre was a huge part of Joy’s life. She set it up in 1984 with Cllr Charles Merrick and Isabel Webley and remained a huge and constant support to Sally Gapper and the team at the advice centre to the very end of her life. Joy would say about NBAC:

PLUS We “We don’t stay still, we keep moving forward and expanding to help more people.” This is what Joy really cared about, helping the people of Lockleaze. Her absence is felt very deeply, most particularly by her family and close friends, but also in the wider community. It is fitting that a tree has
been planted in Gainsborough Square, at the very heart of Lockleaze. Joy devoted her life to this community and somehow remains at its heart. “We planted this tree, so we will hold her memory very dear to us. And as we watch it grow, we will be comforted to think of her, still with us in Lockleaze.”
