Consultations on our objectives for the current year and heritage priorities
Old Market in 2015, copyright ESHA Architects
On the 6th of February we will have our Annual General Meeting to renew our Committee and decide the priorities for the current year. It will be held at 6pm at the Stag and Hounds, Bristol.
We would like to give the opportunity to everybody to have their say on this process and we have set up two surveys to share the list of our current work packages.
The first survey lists all general work, projects and proposals of collaboration. More information in this spreadsheet.
The second survey is a list of topics that could be followed to promote Arts, Heritage and Historic Environment in Old Market. We are already working to several of them and more information can be found in this spreadsheet.
We would like to find people that could take ownership of individual items, so please come forward!

I would like to see OMCA take a stance against the sex industry in Old Market.
The area is now predominantly a residential one. It is no longer a quiet back water.
The young families that live in the area need retailers that cater for their needs. It does not need gangs of drunken, randy stags.
I understand that courage is required to oppose the sex industry. I know how distasteful those persons that profit from the sex industry are, and how they will seek to infiltrate, manipulate and intimidate you. Never the less, if Old Market is to prosper, it is a challange that must be faced. Good luck.
Although against the ‘sex trade’ and never having been in a shop, if these are the only tenants for the shops – then what is the answer, I do not see or hear of TESCO’S or any other type of trader enquiring for premises.
I see the Old Market and the general area in general it is a route to somewhere else. It can not support a newsagents (except for the dreadful one on Lamb Street that survives by selling illegal tabacco and alcohol to under age smokers – and the drunks from the sally.
The asperations of the group (OCMA) are fine and are to be commended, BUT the reailty is a hard life and a battle.
