ACORN brings people together to fight and win on the issues affecting our communities.
@ACORN_Bristol are currently running a campaign to #UnlockOurToilets, demanding that the council reopens 9 public toilets that have recently been closed.
In their words, “We rely on them for our basic dignity at work, in our leisure time or travelling around our city.
“They are essential for those of us with disabilities, those with bowel and bladder conditions, those of us without a home, and the elderly.”
“We deserve a city that we can live and work in, without fear of the indignity of being caught short. It is not simply an inconvenience for us - public toilets are a necessity.”
At present ACORN members in the city are garnering support for their petition (currently just shy of 2000 signatures), ahead of a possible action in February. Watch this space for updates as the campaign continues to grow…
