FA concerns edit

I have significant concerns with whether or not this 2006 promotion meets the modern standards. There is uncited text throughout, as well as lead material not supported in the body, such as The River Chew was dammed in the 1950s to create Chew Valley Lake, which provides drinking water for the nearby city of Bristol and surrounding areas. The history section includes nothing much in the way of post-1900 history. There's extremely little information about the economy of the region. A couple of the source, particularly The Modern Antiquarian, look a bit questionable. Some information is potentially dated. I'm not convinced that this meets the current sourcing or comprehensiveness requirements. Hog Farm Bacon 04:14, 21 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
