Millions of pounds will be spent over the next few years completely transforming a rundown high street in South Bristol. Filwood Broadway, in Knowle West, has been promised a regeneration project for more than a decade, but work is finally due to start on the ground.
The project includes building new housing, space for businesses, a community space, and a new library. The layout of the Broadway will also be redesigned, with wider pavements, new benches, new trees, and a replacement multi-use games area.
Last month the government granted £14.5 million in Levelling Up cash to go towards the plans for Filwood Broadway, and on Tuesday, February 7, Bristol City Council’s cabinet also agreed to spend £1.6 million on redesigning the layout of the street.
