“I don’t know what to do” Bristol’s Barton House

Residents of Barton House, which was evacuated, say they’ve been reporting issues for a while.

They say they've spotted cracks in the building for months.

Hundreds of people living in the tower block were told to leave their homes immediately after "major structural faults" were discovered.

Bristol City Council declared a major incident after building surveys showed Barton House could be unsafe in the event of a fire or explosion.

People were told to pack enough clothes for "a day or two" and stay with friends and family, or go to rest centres, the council said.
