I\'ve just returned from Glastonbury and got some depressing news over there.
Edward James of 24 Roman Way has put in a planning application to build executive houses on the hill, near the mini roundabout under the bit where the hawthorn tree stands.
According to Mendip District Council, Wearyall Hill is of \'no significance whatsoever\' and any spirititual or religious significance attributed to it by anybody is \'all in the mind and irrelevant.\' They see no problem with this development whatsoever. Please sign the petition and help us to make them see reason, help stop the build!
The council thinks this landscape is just soil and profit but reading your notes reminds me that this hill holds so much more soul than they will ever admit. I am currently gathering the stories you have shared about what this place means to you so I can present them directly to the planning board.

Seeing this momentum grow has been overwhelming because I know how much this land means to all of us who walk these slopes. It is validating to know that people recognize the sanctity of Wearyall Hill even when those in power try to dismiss it as nothing more than dirt and grass.

This is an area of deep cultural, environmental and historical significance. The site associated with the landing of St Joseph of Arimathea and according to some legends Our Lord.

Used to walk up there as a child. It would be a total tragedy to lose that bit of green space to more boring houses.

The council have lost the plot saying this place has no meaning. Its a special spot for so many people and needs to be protected not covered in concrete.

Keep our history alive. Those executive houses will ruin the view for everyone and its just wrong to build right there.
