A vandal attack on a billboard poster advertising Bristol’s Pride events has been condemned.
The attacker set fire to the bottom corner of the billboard within 24 hours of the poster being stuck up. Police have described the act as a 'hate crime', and organisers of Pride have said this is a reminder of why the festival exists and is still a protest.
Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees has also condemned the attack, saying there was ‘no room for senseless vandalism or hate’ in Bristol. Sadly, this is the second attack on the community in less than a week.
