To stop Plymouth City Council from removing cobblestones from our famous Barbican.

The Issue

Plymouth City Council are looking to remove a large area of cobble stone from Plymouth’s historic Barbican area (West Pier), in favour of flat paving slabs.

The Barbican is the largest cobblestoned area, with the largest concentration of cobblestoned streets in the UK. The cobbles may be moved to replace existing, but we will lose this area forever.

Removing these is simply butchery of one of the most historic areas in this country, and they must be stopped.

Please support this petition and show Plymouth City Council that the people DO care about our heritage.
