Hundreds of people have signed a petition calling for an independent inquiry into the spiralling costs of renovating Bristol’s biggest concert hall.
The petition is calling for an investigation into what happened to make the project to refurbish the Bristol Beacon go from something that would cost around £48 million to the new figure announced last month of £132 million.
The petition has gained more than 200 signatures since it was set up in the last week of January by Suzanne Audrey. She said having an independent inquiry would be important to help learn the lessons for the council so such a thing doesn’t happen again.
