Campaign group Fathers4Justice have made their mark on Bristol again by spelling out the group’s name on one of the city’s most famous landmarks.The name has been written in the grounds of Dower House, a large yellow building that stands overlooking the M32.
Once a mental hospital, the grade II listed house, which is 400 years old, has been converted into luxury apartments.
F4J bosses have said the stunt was carried out by a guerrilla splinter group following plans to step up operations in the city. Matt O’Connor, who founded F4J in December 2002, said he was not aware of the stunt.
He said: “There’s a lot of random activity going on in the West Country at the moment. This has been carried out by a guerrilla faction of Fathers4Justice. That’s the nature of our campaign at the moment.
“There’s always been a very strong power base in Bristol and things are starting to heat up again.”
Mr O’Connor has referred to Bristol as the “engine room” of Fathers4Justice in the past.
