Bristol City Council’s cabinet has approved proposals that see affordable homes built in one of the city’s most deprived areas. In addition to the housing, new and improved facilities at the Mill Youth Centre will be funded as part of the scheme.
The charity, Empire Fighting Chance (EFC), is working with Sovereign Housing Association, a registered social housing provider, on a proposed development of 38 new affordable homes on the site in Easton.
As part of the youth centre proposals, an indoor basketball court would be built and the existing gym would be expanded. The costs of the affordable housing, basketball court and a new car park would be paid by Sovereign, as well as a contribution to the gym expansion.
