Thank you for signing the petition Stop the closure of BHA Leeds Skyline. Nearly 1,200 of you made a difference. Leeds City Council cited they revised their decision based on 'the well-organised and effective campaign they [BHA Leeds Skyline] mounted'.

WE DID IT! Thanks to your support, Bristol City Council has agreed to our proposal for a Task Force to lead on the phase-out of glyphosate in our city. During the council debate, which was triggered by your petition signatures, Councillors voted unanimously in favour of a motion to stop using the controversial chemical in Bristol’s public spaces. The new Task Force will see the Council working with land managers across the city to plan a phase-out of glyphosate, and the transition to safer methods of weed control. We’ll be supporting the Council in this work, as well as keeping a close eye on the small print – so watch this space!

Ms Mitchell added it was the "right thing to do" for the "artists, public and diversity of staff" Press coverage: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/colston-hall-renamed-2020-relaunch-36108 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-bristol-39705023
