residents are furious
at the sudden
appearance of a
massage parlour on
Hotwell Road.
What used to be the
Hotwell Art Gallery at
No 161 opened for
business as “Va Va
Local residents demonstrating outside ‘Va Va Voom’ in December
Voom”, late in
October. Residents in Pooles Wharf and Rownham Mead made complaints to
Bristol Council and a public meeting attended by about 30 people, including a
representative of the police, was held at Trinity Church in November to
discuss possible action. Neighbouring shops expressed concern that it would
damage their business and many people felt that a massage parlour would bring
‘undesirable’ people into the neighbourhood. Residents resolved to log activity
at the parlour and record car numbers to pass on to the police. Councillor
Brian Price was among several people pursuing the issue with BCC planning
department and was told that although the operation was in contravention of
planning use, it might take up to 18 months before the proprietors had
exhausted the various enforcement and appeal procedures and could be finally
closed down. This assumes retrospective planning permission is not granted
for the change of use.
On December 3rd a demonstration was held outside the premises. About 50

people turned up and the event was widely covered by the local media.
The development has led to a lively exchange of views on the Pooles Wharf
website forum at www.pooleswharf.co.uk.
People wanting to record their response to the development can write to planning enforcement at
Brunel House, St Georges Rd, Bristol BS1 5UY. Jeremy McNeil has also set up an e-petition on the
Bristol City Council web site. If you wish to sign this you can do so at: http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/
