Hi, I am contacted quite often by Bristol based projects (or potential projects) about various issues regarding meanwhile use of empty spaces. The status of the projects vary from conceptual to up, running, closed and moved on.... but it seems you don't always know each other. Hopefully this is the space to get familiar!

Hi,

I am also contacted alot about the same thing and am here to help as much as possible with projects with an arts focus. I am trying to make Bristol Council as meanwhile-use friendly as possible and also work with private property owners to do the same...I'm just finishing off a guide for Bristol which will be downloadable from the council website soon..
Anyone wanting to run a project in Bristol- please get in touch and I'll try and help!

cheers

Ruth Essex
Arts and Regeneration Officer, Bristol City Council

Hi Ruth and Eddie
Didn't quite get to meet up with Health and Safety and Fire officer this week but have spoken to Bentley, the property owner, and he is around now so will keep you all up to date.
Cheer, Paul
