Barton House: Community comes together

Local people rally round to help tenants asked to evacuate their homes.

Writer and educator Lawrence Hoo and the founder and co-owner of Café Curious, Denise Dixon talk about the help they’ve provided.

People have been donating supplies for the 400 people who had to leave Barton House on Tuesday night after "major structural faults" were discovered.

Bristol City Council declared a major incident after surveys showed the building could be unsafe – they don’t know whether it would withstand something big like a fire or explosion.

It’s urging people who want to help to go via the “Can Do Bristol” website.
