Residents of Barton House in Bristol have marched to City Hall demanding reassurances about the safety of the building ahead of their return.

The residents, who were among 250 evacuated three months ago over safety concerns, are scheduled to return on February 23.

However, around 30 of the tower block’s residents have called for a meeting with senior council officials to get further reassurances the building is safe.

A council spokesperson told BristolLive: ‘Since the Barton House evacuation on November 14, we have been in regular communication with Barton House residents, and we continue to update tenants first on any developments.

‘Once we have received the final reports, we will share all of the reports and further information together with Barton House residents first before publishing them online.’
