£7m plans to redevelop centre of Southmead
By Amanda Cameron, Thursday Mar 4, 2021
A community-led plan to redevelop the centre of Southmead has received the backing of the council and is set to receive £7m in funding.
The regeneration plan for Glencoyne Square will see the area get about 300 new homes, a new community centre for the health centre and public library to move into, and improved public spaces.
Around half of the new homes will be affordable, and the new library is expected to have better services and longer opening hours, deputy mayor Craig Cheney said as the ruling Labour administration signed off the project.
