Bristol City Council prepared a "communications plan" for a former office block in South Bristol following "worrying" press coverage. This included preparing a leaflet for potential tenants about why they should choose Imperial Apartments.
This information has come to light as a review into Imperial Apartments is due to be published imminently, BristolLive understands. Back in mid-February, Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees announced the council was to pause housing families with children at the controversial complex as he admitted there are "some challenges" at the site.
In recent months, BristolLive has reported on many concerns from residents at the former Parkview office complex in Hengrove - now known as Imperial Apartments. Earlier this year, Karin Smyth, the Bristol South MP, asked the council to stop housing families with children at the development, with the Lib Dems then joining the call and one councillor urging the council "to take responsibility".
