Residents rally against social housing plans in Stockwood on former care home site

Residents have rallied against plans to build social housing in Stockwood on the site of a former care home.

Bristol City Council is planning to build 26 new homes in a social housing scheme off Lacey Road, where the Greville care home used to stand before getting knocked down in 2020. The council said there is high demand for social housing in this part of Bristol.

But many neighbours have objected to the planning application, as some claim nearby social housing might lower the value of their houses. Other concerns include further pressure on already stretched public services, and road safety near the care home site.
