Lift the laptop ban in the Bridge
The laptop ban is pointless, unpopular, and discriminatory. The fact that students are not allowed to complete university work in our own union space is ridiculous.
I have heard several different reasons for the ban, including encouraging people to buy food - but you can buy food and use a laptop, or not buy and not use a laptop. That reason is also discriminatory against poorer students who may want to be in the Bridge without paying its relatively high prices, as well as discriminating against SpLD students, who are more likely to rely on using a laptop for work.

Hi Ben,
Apologies, looks like we accidentally maked this YMC as completed when replying to the original message!
Should be sorted now, and upvoting/downvoting should be back online.
All the best,

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your YMC. Please can you publicise this to students so that it can get up voted/down voted, so that we can show that students are interested in this issue!]
I look forward to reviewing this in a few week's time!
