400 people including 100 children have been evacuated at no notice from Barton House.

Residents of council blocks around Bristol have concerns about their safety, and have received no clear information from the council.Community members and residents of Barton Hill are coming together to hold council leaders accountable. We have huge questions that remain unanswered.

Evacuated residents have been left in the dark with minimal support and no idea what the long term plan is. People are unable to work, have no facilities, and have been torn away from their communities.

Residents haven’t been given adequate opportunity to speak to decision makers at the council so we have been forced to create the opportunity. We need answers and accountability now.

Compensation and information for Barton House now!

Bristol City Council: 

Compensation and information for Barton House Now!

We demand:

  1. An independent investigation into what has happened at Barton House specifically and more widely the safety of tower blocks across the city 

  2. If residents cannot stay in Barton house they must be rehoused locally on the same rent or less

  3. November rent must be reimbursed and then paused. 

  4. Residents must be compensated for the costs incurred from the evacuation and the further costs that will come if they have to move house

  5. Mental health support and support with childcare for all affected residents 

The council isn’t stepping up so ACORN are. Join our campaign to stand shoulder to shoulder and demand a safe and secure place to live for all residents of Barton House.
