Bark Bistro isn't just a business; its our life's work. Located in the heart of Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham, UK, this hidden gem has provided a cozy, friendly atmosphere for pet lovers and their four-legged companions. For years, we’ve fostered a community where locals gather over coffee, forging friendships and sharing stories, all while their furry friends enjoy our specially tailored Bark bistro. It isn't just a café; it’s a haven of joy and companionship where both humans and pets feel at home.
Unfortunately, Bark Bistro is now under threat. Local town councillors are attempting to close us down, jeopardizing not only 5 girls livelihoods but also a beloved community space. Their plans are set to erase a vital part of our neighborhood's identity, a place that has become a second home to many residents and their pets.
This decision disregards the value we bring to our community. We contribute to the local economy, offer a unique, welcoming environment. With over a hundred regular visitors and rising, Bark Bistro plays a key role in enhancing community well-being and cohesion. The closure would be a significant loss.
Our plea to the councillors is to reconsider their decision and to acknowledge the importance of this establishment. We propose open dialogue and a reassessment of our impact on local life. Becoming involved in community projects or complying with any regulations that might support our continued operation is a commitment we're ready to make.
This has been denied by Birmingham city council due to information being missed off our report such as…
- Approved by Sutton Coldfield town council
- Approved by Bishop Walsh school & in favour
- 474 in favour comments & Signature petition
- 2 Memorial benches
- We need your support to make sure Bark Bistro continues to serve Sutton Coldfield and its residents. Help save our café from closure by signing this petition. With enough voices, we can demonstrate to the councillors the positive impact we have on our neighborhood and convince them to allow Bark Bistro to remain open for the community that values it so dearly. Please sign and share this petition to help us preserve this cherished local business.
