A plan to refurbish “atrocious” changing rooms on the Downs in Bristol is making slow progress due to a shortage of cash. Toilets and changing facilities on the historic parkland are notoriously bad, with football players previously complaining about cold, faulty showers.
The plan to fix up the changing rooms stretches back at least four years, but a City Hall boss has said the long-awaited refurbishment is “probably at the start line now”. The update came after criticism about the shoddy state of facilities on Clifton Down and Durdham Down.
The Downs are run by a committee of Bristol councillors and members of the Society of Merchant Venturers. Questions were put to the Downs committee on Monday, June 12, about when the refurbishment works might finally begin.
