"Protesters who have occupied the site of the former Bristol North swimming baths since Saturday have been served with an eviction notice.

The building, on Gloucester Road, has been derelict for three months.

The group is demanding that it is reopened to provide a non-commercial space for the community.

A city council spokesman said a security team had visited the site and discussed the matter with the police and the protesters."
