The city council has officially rejected the licensing application for the proposed restaurant. We have achieved our goal and prevented this establishment from opening in our area. We will monitor the site to ensure no further attempts are made to bypass this decision.
We, the undersigned object to the establishment of Hooters bar and restaurant in Bristol. We believe that 'Hooters' expects its female employees to be displayed as sexual objects for men's enjoyment.
This is not consistent with the image of a modern, diverse and inclusive city.
We believe that such an establishment may increase incidences of sexual harassment for the women of our city and put the children and young people who use the facilities close by at risk.
Please see the blog section for articles about Hooters.
7th September 2010: *Petition presented to Full Council meeting but please keep posting comments and signatures! The Bristol Evening Post article about the Council meeting is posted in the blog section*
25th August: *New section added to the blog for residents to comment. Please add your comments/concerns if you are a resident of the local area*
25th August: *Marks and Spencer have confirmed that they are sub-letting the premises to the Gallus Management Company, who will be operating 'Hooters'. Please see the blog section for correspondence* NB: The petition asks for donations after you have signed. This is to fund the site and is not linked to the campaign in any way. Please just click off the site after you signed your name and your signature will be recorded. If you click 'go back' your signature may not be recorded on the petition.
We need to hit the one thousand signature mark before I deliver this pressure letter to the local licensing board. Please direct three people to the sign up page today to ensure our petition commands the necessary authority during these upcoming meetings.
