Locals are being asked to have their say on a masterplan to transform the land either side of the River Frome in St Jude's, known as the Frome Gateway. Bristol City Council, along with locals, businesses and landowners, is working on a project which will see new homes, jobs and public spaces created.
Plans for a riverfront community, on the fringes of Cabot Circus and the M32, were first put forward in 2019 and then suspended due to Covid-19. Now they are in the process of public consultation, with a detailed plan to be drawn up following approval from the council's Cabinet.
The Frome Gateway area will see 'significant change' if plans are approved, as land is brought forward to deliver new homes, workspaces and community facilities. The project will also see existing facilities, like Riverside Park, upgraded.
