Vendors Comments:

"We have lived in Montpelier for 12 years and will be sad to leave. It's been a lovely place to raise our young children and offers all the best parts of Bristol. It's vibrant and friendly community means that everything you need is all in one place: the Star and Garter which is the heart of Montpelier; the play park; the great schools; and the independent shops of Picton Street. But it's the community that makes Shaftesbury Avenue so special. This is a family area with lovely neighbours. We will miss Shaftesbury Avenue but hope someone else benefits from the amazing community that it offers."
