It is precisely because Stokes Croft has been neglected, that people of all backgrounds and circumstance have learned to co-exist in an enclave of tolerance that few from outside this magical area can begin to understand. The mission is to help Stokes Croft to recognise its special qualities by improving the streetscape through direct action, by creating a sense of identity, a sense of belonging and of self-worth. PRSC is determined to safeguard the unique character of the area. Because of the economically challenged nature of Stokes Croft, there are many areas where there are gaps in the normal commercial landscape. This can be seen as a disadvantage, a gap- toothed smile. PRSC sees only opportunity, the opportunity to flavour forever the visual nature of our quarter. More stimulating. Tidier. Safer. Better. Opportunity. Stokes Croft : Flats or Culture?

We believe that Stokes Croft has been criminally and deliberately neglected by Government... There is a Council plan. Unfortunately, it is not currently being implemented. We urge you to check it out. (Click here to Download The Council's Action Plan - Be Warned. Its size is 50Mb). Stokes Croft is also a designated Conservation Area. It is vital that this recently updated document is taken seriously. (Click here to Download The Stokes Croft Conservation Area document). PRSC rejects top-down government. The future of Stokes Croft must rest in the hands of the people who live, work and play in the area. To this end, we have produced an alternative vision, one that actually aims to make the area more people- friendly, one that plays to the strengths of the area. (Click here to Download The PRSC Action Plan - Size is 7 Mb). PUBLISHED 22nd Sept. 2007. Updated 2nd Sept. 2008. Our modus operandi is to work with the nature of the environment... To improve through painting... Never to damage any of the fabric of the area. The works have to be FAST BUT GOOD!   PRSC believes that we must act now to take possession of our own future. JOIN US
