💙 Thank you everyone who signed our petition.
We have exceeded the required number of signatories to trigger a debate at City Hall.
Behind the scenes there have been lots of meetings and discussions to find a way forward.

🔵 Great to meet the team at Bristol Blue Glass.
🔵 Sadly, they have to leave their premises next year and can’t find a new home. If you know any sites, get in touch.
🔵 Bristol without Bristol Blue Glass would be like Bristol without balloons or Banksy.
