A new marina is planned for Bristol’s harbour with space for more than 30 boats as well as wildlife habitats. The new moorings will be created at Capricorn Quay, opposite the SS Great Britain, with reed beds, washrooms, and a “haven for birds”.
But residents living nearby have warned that the reed beds could attract lots of litter and be difficult to clear up. They also raised concerns about future boat dwellers causing noise and pollution near where they live in the apartments at Capricorn Place.
Bristol City Council is planning to spend £480,000 on the new moorings at Capricorn Quay, with a grant from the West of England Combined Authority. The cabinet approved the decision during a public meeting on Tuesday, March 7.
