Thanks lovely lady 🙏🔥🙏
I think you are being unfair, the £10k was to see if we qualified and to start a discussion. The question is should Glastonbury, expand tourism, or shoudl it expand its other industries. To maintain diversity,
Hmmmm... I am not being unfair, it is the Council who are being unfair. They are not following their code of conduct! They are elected to listen to the residents they serve and to be accountable with transparency. Nobody was aware in the community what was happening. We presently have 1 million tourists and as residents do not want nor need more! It is our taxpayers money bring spent! World Heritage Status will not protect our sacred sites. The consequences of increased tourism would mean more cars, parking facilities.We do not presently have the infrastructure. We have researched other UNESCO heritage sites around the world and the impact of over tourism is horrifying!
The Tor with year-round admission charges and premium rates for the equinox. Designated footpaths, 'improvements', security staff, cameras everywhere. That's the future under World Heritage Status. Great work, God willing the plan will be rejected.
@@geoffreystevens663 yes Geoff that indeed is the future if WHS is granted.
Good on you Amanda!
Thanks so much Tasha. ❤Thanks for watching...
I do hope so. It definitely deserves to..... im in! I live in Kent but happily support

Aww how sweet 🌺
Awwwe thanks Tasha! Love my Greyhounds...
love 'scudding painterly sky'
Thanks ❤
Excellent poem, Amanda. Really enjoyed it, and how you recited it.
Awwwe thanks so much Mark, I really appreciate your comment. I love the way you read poetry.
Brilliant! You have put a lot of thought in this very atmospheric poem.
Thanks so much Gary. 🙏❤️🙏Much appreciated.
I love this and I felt it
Thanks Ella, thanks for watching. Haworth and the Moors are so unique. You are part of the Bronte story...Beautiful timelesness and groundedness that feeds the spirit and soul. Deep peace indeed. Wonderful to re-connect with you and your family.
beautiful poem, Amanda! and what a view! :-)
thank you so much! I woke up to that view from the cottage here...
I enjoyed this poem, Amanda - and the questions about the role(s) of the poet. It gets you thinking about the purpose of art, or the many purposes. Lovely lotus watercolour, too. Thank you. The phrase (to bring) 'beauty to banality' particularly stood out for me.
Thanks Mark, So glad you enjoyed it. I wrote this poem many years ago and painted the Lotus flower earlier this year. Thanks for your comment, it's good to ponder such things...
What a beautiful poem! It captures both the essence and variety of the place.
Many thanks. I live here so am very aware of it's different aspects...
Very interesting - I watched some of this before, and came back to watch a bit more. Hynotherapy does sound fascinating.
So true. Intuition really wants to help us.
Yes, intuition really does and we should listen more. ❤️Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Thank you, Amanda. Good poem and good advice for people.
Thanks for listening and your lovely comment Mark. 🙏

Enjoyed this very much, Amanda. Thank you. Really interesting contrast between the town and the other space.
I appreciate your positive feedback. Thanks Mark x
Beautiful poem, Amanda.
Thank-you Mark. 🙏

The Glastonbury festival is mainly attended by White middle class young people as there is ZERO attendance from the average young people from poor council estates in the London area. Glastonbury is excellent in terms the low crime rate though. I love the town of Glastonbury. But for me the festival has lost its credibility because there are very few REAL bands playing there. A band is formed of musicians that play musical instruments. Glastonbury does NOT have much of that anymore. I think its important to seperate the festival from the actual town. Jo Brand seems to be reading from a script here. She should have just written bullet points down and improvised. I would advise her to stick to performing stand up instead of trying to become a social campaign manager. She was hilarious on "have i got news for you". At least she has lost weight though.
I am not Jo Brand, name is Amanda Gazidis. 😂 Thanks for your comment. chng.it/ygWsYvS697
Awww love this. Self love is so important ❤❤❤
Well it was just a bit of fun... Yes it really is isn't it?
Good poem, Amanda - about a very necessary and alarming subject. Albeit huge numbers of people seemingly don't notice the elephant.
Yes, nobody seems to be talking about it. There is so much death all around us, yet nobody making the connection, or are they burying their heads in the sand?
Lovely poem, Amanda, and I very much agree with the message here. :-)
Thanks so much for watching. Yes, love is for everyone...❤
Nice one Amanda. Well said and thanks for explaining to people that the Festival is at Pilton, not in the town itself. To me, Glastonbury is either a place that you are drawn to or it draws you to it. It's a very special place. The Tor, the Abbey, the Chalice Well and the surrounds of the ancient Isle of Avalon aren't something to be promoted: the environment and culture there is something to be experienced in an individual way. In my opinion, world heritage status would destroy the uniqueness and subtlety of the culture and the special nature of the place. 🥰
Thanks Andy for your interest and support of this matter. Yes, you hit the nail on the head.
Excellent, well done. World Heritage status does have many drawbacks, here are a few that a Spanish town discovered: 1. An increase in population, visitors and tourists. Sometimes, during weekends and holidays, there is an overwhelming load in the city both with people and vehicles. 2. Potential for neglect of the cultural-historical traditions, and natural environment. Often this results in more complex bureaucracies, which do not always bring better quality in demographic and social areas. 3. For visitors, tourists, and even for the local residents what was an exceptional heritage can become quotidian, and common. 4. Loss of identity and sense of belonging by the local residents. 5. The mass arrival of visitors and tourists has the potential of causing deterioration of the heritage site, decrease of its conservation, and restoration.
Thank-you so much for this. I am very concerned about this and so are so many in our town. Please sign the petition if you can. It has reached 500 signatures. The Facebook group is called World Heritage Status for Glastonbury. Many thanks for your input. I appreciate this support.
