A council home in South Bristol has been sitting empty for at least year - but some residents believe it may be longer. Bristol City Council has been criticised for not putting the property back into use sooner.
All the residents BristolLive spoke to agreed that the property on Hillside Street has had work done in that time, but some felt the works had taken too long. BristolLive understands the property in Totterdown has two bedrooms and residents described it as having the potential to be a family home.
One neighbour said the tenant moved out during the pandemic, but wasn't able to give an exact date, adding she believes it was last summer. Since then, work has been done to the South Bristol house, she said, and there had been scaffolding up at one point.
