Petition

We WANT a section of the Bristol docks as an open air swimming place. It is totally unacceptable that a city of over 750,000 inhabitants, with a major waterway through the centre has no open air place to swim.

Background information

Bristol City Council's own water quality department's statistics show that it is safe to swim in the docks most of the year. Why are we denied entry to this water ?

We propose an area of the water outside the Arnolfini as a public swimming spot.

It is important for the petition to receive as many signatures as possible to reflect the publics wish to swim in the docks.
