Bristol to Form Founding Committee
September 2009
At a meeting at the historic Old Council House on 23 September, some 25 of the local stakeholders whom SCT had consulted over the summer have agreed to establish a Bristol Speakers’ Corner Committee. The Founding Committee will be formally constituted in the coming weeks and begin work on the detailed design of the project prior to its launch. Meanwhile Bristol City Council has offered to provide administrative support to the project over its first 12 months.
Freedom of Expression
"Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democratic life. It is by the free exchange of ideas among citizens about how they should live together and how they should be governed that we create and sustain the democratic society. So the rights to free association and expression are scarcely less important than the right to live in peace and free from want."
