12 Apr 2008 - 16:00

Bristol is undergoing massive attacks on our free spaces and culture by
property developers and their friends in the City Council. Across the city
green spaces, pubs, clubs and amenities are being closed and sold off with
little consultation with the communities affected.
So if you oppose the:

  • Threat of closure of the clubs and pubs on Stokes Croft (Clockwork, Lakota,
    Blue Mountain, Junction)
  • The threatened sell off of Castle Park to the developers
  • The loss of playing fields and green spaces city-wide
  • The 'private streets' of Cabot Circus
  • The dispersion orders on College Green
  • The removal of the Bristol-Bath cycle path
  • The loss of pubs and meeting spaces in our communities

On Saturday 12th April there will be street protests against the gentrification
of Central Bristol. There will be two meeting points:

  • 11.00am Albany Green, St. Pauls: Join the 'Bristol Space Invasion' Carnival
    Parade as part of a europe wide weekend of action against the privatisation of
    public space
  • 2.00pm Broadmead (Centre): 'Save Stokes Croft from Gentrification' party parade
    going to College Green

After the parades come along to Bristol Space Invasion Autonomous Zone
featuring Art, performance, cinema, open-mic and live music - ALL FOR FREE! -
