The eviction of a group of people living in vans by Greenbank Cemetery has been paused.
The group parked in Greenbank View, who say they are all relatively new to van life and that they can’t afford Bristol’s spiralling rents, had originally been told they had to move somewhere else by Tuesday earlier this week, or faced being forcibly evicted.
With the threat of eviction fast approaching, the van dwellers launched a campaign to get the council to change their minds, and more than a thousand Bristolians have signed a petition asking that they can be allowed to stay.
