Street advertising banners

Further to the previous email about the multiple applications for lamp post banners across the city, I understand from the lead planning officer that he does not feel happy to recommend them and will be having a meeting with the applicant on Wednesday to discuss withdrawing the applications as they now stand.

He will also be looking at possible proposals to advertise the new museum on the harbourside and banners that have already been installed. We will update the NPN website when we hear more.

A new Bristol Civic Society history group

Bristol Civic Society (BCS) is intending to start up a new historical interest group, whose focus would be on the history of the built environment.

This could cover both the city centre and other parts of Bristol. It could cover all aspects of the built environment - architecture, urban form, planning, etc. And all historical periods
up to the present day.

Potential activities of the group could be: publications, heritage at risk, local listing, contributing to walks and events in the BCS programme.

Please contact Alan Morris on

if you are interested
