Overview
The Knowle West Regeneration Framework is a series of proposed improvements to the area to be implemented over the next 20 years.
Knowle West in South Bristol has been identified as a key priority for investment to promote growth in this part of the city.
The elements to successfully carry out this framework will include:
- 2,000 new and improved homes
- New employment opportunities
- Better transport links
- New shops and a supermarket
- Improved parks and play spaces
- Better community facilities.
The overall aims of these proposals is to provide better employment and housing opportunities for local residents, greatly improve the facilities available to the community and improve access to and from Knowle West with the rest of the city.
