Emergency Evacuation at Barton House, Bristol

About 400 residents were rushed out of Barton House in Bristol today after a serious structural fault was spotted. Officials ordered an immediate evacuation, sparking chaos in the community.

Residents Left in the Dark

Council workers are going door-to-door to spread the evacuation news. But shockingly, residents—including many members of the union ACORN—haven’t been told why they have to leave. ACORN slammed the council for the lack of information, highlighting growing frustration.
