The London property company that own the land known as 'Turbo Island' in Stokes Croft has said it wants to work with the council and the community to make it a 'more welcoming space', as work continues to dig it up, pave it and end its notorious reputation.
Diggers moved in yesterday onto the area on the corner of Stokes Croft and Jamaica Street, digging up the ground, levelling and landscaping it ready to be paved. And now the operations director for Wildstone, the billboard advertising property company that own the land, said they want to work up plans to further enhance the space.
The initial plan for Turbo Island is for the privately-owned half of the triangle of land on that corner to look very much like the publicly-owned part, with it paved and a number of bike racks installed. But Wildstone's Philip Allard said the company were keen to work with the local community to see if anything more could be done.
