2500+ people signed petitions. 100s 
protested,campaigned, marched, painted & danced.

Riots took place.

  The No Tesco in Stokes Croft Campaign took Bristol City Council to court.

Despite exposing the flawed planning process, the Council won.

Nearly £2500 costs were awarded against the No Tesco Campaign.

This is how the news was received in the Council Chamber:

"On prompting from Cllr Kent - the officer in 
charge stated that, because the protesters
didn't have any insurance, they were therefore liable for ALL the costs....

The only one who didn't seem to find this amusing was Cllr Stevenson -
most of the others found it hilarious... "

THE NO TESCO CAMPAIGN IN PICTURES

[]

Shortly after it was announced that Tesco had 
bought the lease on the former Jesters Comedy 
Club and gained planning permission incognito, 
community activists squatted the building. Our 
Police found themselves in the invidious position 
of facilitating the actions of Tesco Bailiffs, 
against the will of local people.

[]

Surveys were done. 2500 protests were delivered to our Council,
importuning them to recognise that a Tesco branch 
in Stokes Croft was wholly inappropriate.

[]

Marching and protest took place. Campaigners 
worked within the clearly flawed planning system 
to stop the supermarket's encroachment into Stokes Croft.

[]

Artists painted. The Council failed to listen to the People.

[]


Riots took place.

[]


In the usual messy way that riots manifest themselves, damage was caused.

[]

Despite a year of continual and sustained 
protest, our elected representatives failed the 
many people who sought to safeguard the uniquely 
independent area that is Stokes Croft.

The No Tesco Campaign took Bristol City Council 
to Judicial Review after their failure to back 
the Community. We lost the case, and nearly £2500 
costs were awarded against the No Tesco campaign.

This is how the news was received in the Council Chamber:

"On prompting from Cllr Kent - the officer in 
charge stated that, because the protesters
didn't have any insurance, they were therefore liable for ALL the costs....

The only one who didn't seem to find this amusing was Cllr Stevenson -
most of the others found it hilarious... "
