Hundreds of 'love locks', padlocks with names or initials written on them which are meant to symbolise love and have appeared on bridges in major towns and cities across Europe, are seen fixed to Pero's Bridge which spans part of Bristol Harbourside. Alex Hartley, a Lib Dem candidate for the nearby ward of Hotwells and Harbourside, has started a petition for the locks to be cut from the bridge, which intended to be a memorial to the victims of slavery.
