Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for city leaders to ensure the famous view of Totterdown's coloured houses is protected, as letters of objections deluge planners at City Hall.
The number of people who have signed the petition, set up by TRESA - the Totterdown Residents Environmental and Social Action group - has jumped above 2,500 in the past week, just as Bristol Civic Society has submitted a formal objection to one of the plans to build tower blocks of flats in front of the iconic cliff-top row of homes.
The view of the coloured houses of Totterdown can be seen from many spots in Bristol - from St Michael’s Hill to the harbourside - and is the main sight to see for passengers arriving at Temple Meads station.
