Parents in Bristol say plans to flatten a sports ground would leave local children without a place to play.

The Games Court in Horfield was closed after complaints about noise.

The gates were temporarily locked on Monday, and these signs were put up saying the ground is to be demolished and turfed over.

But local parents and young people who use it say it would be a huge loss to their community.

Since the outcry, Bristol City Council has said it will consult with local residents about the future of the site.

Councillors say they'll be speaking to local people about both sides before coming to a final decision.
