The Government has finally agreed to handover £95.8 million to kickstart the Temple Quarter regeneration project, ministers have announced today.
The money was needed to start the stalled project which will see Temple Meads station transformed, and that will then open up the area next door at Temple Quarter ultimately for 10,000 new homes, offices, a conference centre and new University of Bristol campus.
The project has been stalled for almost five years, with Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees calling out Homes England and the Government earlier this year for promising the regeneration money for years but not actually delivering it, when it was left off a list of Government 'Levelling Up' announcements.
