Gloucester Road Alliance

There was a recent article in the Bristol Evening Post stating:

Campaign groups in Bishopston and Horfield have joined forces to form a Gloucester Road Alliance.Three key protest groups which have been campaigning against changes in the Gloucester Road area are standing together.

BOGOFS (Bishopston Opposing Glut Of Supermarkets), which is campaigning against plans to build a new supermarket off Gloucester Road; Resource Pool, a group which believes the former Bristol North Swimming Baths should become a community resource, and the Horfield Rose group - Residents Opposing Stadium Expansion - which is fighting the Memorial Stadium redevelopment, are all hoping to keep the area as a vibrant High Street.

To clarify recent misunderstandings which have been evident from some letters to the paper, the Gloucester Road Alliance exists as a loose group to share technical and planning information between three local residents’ groups each of which oppose different developments on the Gloucester Road.

The information that is shared between the groups is limited: we do not share membership information; there is no assumption that support for one means support for the others; there is no shared ideology; we do not hold joint meetings; and no individual group speaks for, or on behalf of, the other groups.

HorfieldROSE has not been involved in any benefit gigs nor have we profited from them.
