📆Want to stop billboards in Bristol? Do you think public space is better with art, not ads? Come along to our next meeting on Tuesday 16th September. We'll be at the Steam Crane (upstairs), 4 North St BS3 All welcome to join the campaign for a happier, healthier, ad-free Bristol 💚

Three dilapidated billboards in east Bristol have got us thinking about how the space could look different. What would you rather see instead of corporate advertising? #BetterWithoutBillboards

These advertising hoardings were erected without any planning permission in Totterdown, degrading the local environment. Really glad to see the company being forced to remove them by @bristolcouncil.bsky.social planning enforcement team. @adblockbristol.bsky.social

We need your help! Can you help fund innovative community artwork in Bristol? Our Burg Arts project needs your help to keep showcasing local artists and offering a brighter alternative to consumer capitalism in public space - pls support us: chuffed.org/project/1349...

Next monthly Adblock meeting: Tuesday 29th April, Steam Crane (upstairs room), 4 North St BS3 1HT. We'll be discussing our ongoing fight against BT's relentless plans to cover our pavements in digital ad units; plus latest plans for the Burg Arts community arts board in St Werburghs. All welcome!

Great news that #Bristol City Council have refused 3 applications from BT for unnecessary 'Street Hubs' so far BUT bad news that BT are not getting the hint & have made 2 more applications on Gloucester Rd & Brislington Hill 🤬 - find out more & object here: adfreecities.org.uk/2025/02/awkw...

This is the third time BT have tried to flood the city with intrusive and ugly street hub ad screens ☠️☠️☠️ If you've got a minute please put in an objection using the link below. Objections really do make a difference!

An Adblock member has started a petition to end junk mail generically addressed to "the occupier" or "the homeowner". Because they are addressed you can't opt out in the normal way. This kind of junk mail is really irritating and a massive waste of paper. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

We'll be chatting to @bcfmradio.bsky.social today at 5pm - about Bristol residents fighting back against the outdoor ad industry; and our anti-greenwash installation at Sparks Bristol (Broadmead) which you can see until 16th Feb. Tune in 5pm!

Large, polluting, dangerous SUVs are taking over our streets. But there is an alternative… Today we launch the SUV Alliance and our 5-point manifesto for safer, fairer streets, without SUVs. #SaferStreets #FairerStreets #WithoutSUVs

We're thrilled that Digital Dystopia from @adfreecities.bsky.social is now installed at Sparks Bristol, in Broadmead. Digital Dystopia challenges the presence of greenwash adverts from major polluters in our public spaces. Come along to find out more and take action! adfreecities.org.uk/events/

Another digital billboard is on the cards for Bristol 😱 So drop that letter to Santa and start writing your objection! Find advice on how at our blog: adfreecities.org.uk/2024/12/bris...

Petition to end fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship is nearly at 10,000 signatures! Please take 2 minutes to add your name now 💚 Sign here --> lnkd.in/e_SWHZwU Fossil fuels are now arguably a more pressing health threat than smoking. So why don't we respond in the same way?

Very frustrating that Bristol Council have approved a new digital billboard, despite massive opposition. What is the point of a planning system that puts absolutely zero weight on local people's views? We need change. Agree? Head to actionnetwork.org/letters/bett...

Very sorry to say that this billboard was approved by 5 votes (Labour, Lib Dem, Cons) against 3 Green. Bristolians deserve better than endless, energy-crunching digital screens pushing more and more stuff. Too many billboards, not enough trees! ✊🌳

Today we held a demo outside City Hall to protest a proposed new digital billboard over St Philips Causeway. Bristol doesn't want or need more massive billboards! Let's hope the council hears our voices and blocks this application.

Hello Bluesky! Great to leave the other place 😌 Follow us for Bristol-based anti-advertising fun!
