Imperial Apartments situation 'requires further improvement', says cabinet member

The situation at a former office block in South Bristol requires further improvement, the cabinet member for housing delivery and homes has said.

His words came after a council review into the controversial Imperial Apartments development published this afternoon found that the site is "suitable for many families with children". Back in mid-February, Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees announced the council was to pause housing families with children there while a review was carried out as he admitted there are "some challenges" at the site.

This came after BristolLive reported on many concerns from residents at the former Parkview office complex in Hengrove and a request from the Bristol South MP 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".
