Stokes Croft is the most interesting and culturally diverse area in Bristol, boasting more honesty, beauty and truth than any other part of the City. 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.
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.
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.
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.
