More than a hundred children are living at a converted office block in south Bristol.
A total of 87 children under the age of five are currently living at the controversial Imperial Apartments in Hengrove, with a total of 21 children over the age of five living there, according to data released by Bristol City Council. Despite an officers’ warning back in April 2021 that no child over five should live at the two-bed units created in the first phase, this is the first time the council has released the data for older children.
There are 465 units of private rented accommodation at Imperial Apartment and Bristol City Council rent out 316 of them, more than two-thirds of the total. With 108 children there in total now, this would mean that up to a third of those have children living in them.
