The population of just one postcode area of South Bristol is set to increase by almost half in the next three years - and now the community is to come together to discuss how to deal with that. A five month project is being launched by Action Greater Bedminster to try to get everyone already living in BS3 to have their say about what needs to happen so that the area and community can cope with such an increase in residents.
Those community leaders and councillors behind the project say they want to get as many people as possible involved, especially those who don’t normally get to have their say on changes in their neighbourhood.
The five month project will see workshops, public meetings and consultations, culminating in a one-day event on May 20, which will bring together city leaders from the council, health and education to hear the ideas and concerns of the residents of BS3 about the massive change that is already underway across Ashton Vale, Ashton, Southville, Bedminster and Windmill Hill.
