A giant new youth club can now be built in South Bristol after councillors voted to grant planning permission. The Youth Zone is expected to open in two years and will offer a wide range of services and activities for children and young people across the south of the city.
The youth club will be built on grassland south of the Inns Court housing estate, just north of the roundabout connecting Hengrove Way and Hartcliffe Way. OnSide, the charity behind the plans, welcomed the planning approval on Tuesday, June 13 as a 'huge step forward'.
The plans include a two-storey building, disabled and minibus parking, an access road, a five-a-side pitch, and a single-storey storage building. The youth centre will run activities such as football, boxing, climbing, creative arts, music, drama and employability training.
