New details have emerged about the plans for an £8.4m youth centre which is being proposed for South Bristol. Bristol City Council is collaborating with national youth work organisation OnSide to push for a central hub for youth work to be built south of the river.
And OnSide has now submitted its planning application to the council, which proposes to build it on a green field site between Knowle West and Hartcliffe. Documents submitted with the application have revealed what the hub could look like, as well as giving more details about the plans.
According to the documents, the Youth Zone is expected to open in 2024, and should host 200 or more young people every day. It will cost young people 50p per visit on top of a £5 annual fee, and it will be open 40 hours per week.
