The woman in charge of Bristol's strategic planning has written to a Yorkshire brewery firm demanding to know what their plans are - if any - for two abandoned city centre sites that could be huge development opportunities.
The two sites are both owned by Tadcaster-based Samuel Smith Brewery, but while the harbourside area has been regenerated around them, have been left empty and unkempt for decades.
Now Cllr Nicola Beech, the council cabinet member for strategic planning, has written to the family-owned brewery which owns the Old Seamen's Mission Church in Prince Street and the plot of land next to the Arnolfini on Narrow Quay, asking to know what their plans are.
