A key document to redevelop a huge area in west Bristol has been criticised for a lack of detail.
The Western Harbour project will see homes built around the Cumberland Basin, and the ageing road layout redesigned and rebuilt. Bristol City Council has “consulted extensively” on its 16-page vision document, which includes five pages of poetry but few details.
The western end of the Floating Harbour, stretching from Hotwells to Greville Smyth Park, is largely owned by Bristol City Council. The currently spacious area faces an increasing threat from flooding due to climate change, and the main roads running through it are deteriorating.
