Bristol City Council is to pause housing families with children at a former office block.
Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees made the announcement today (February 16) as he admitted there are "some challenges" at the controversial Imperial Apartments complex. The mayor wouldn't say whether the existing families at the site would be moved out, but that the review will look into this.
In recent months, BristolLive has reported on many concerns from residents at the former Parkview office complex in Hengrove - now known as Imperial Apartments. Last month, 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".
