THE two nights of rioting in Bristol are likely to cost the city hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Shops and businesses are counting the cost of the public disorder which saw vandals and looters take to the streets on Monday and Tuesday night following widespread civil unrest in London.
The bill for replacing burnt-out vehicles, smashed windows, torched bins, damaged buildings and stolen property alone is expected to easily top £70,000.
