Residents of Lockleaze are demanding âmore than just housesâ as 1000 new homes are set to be built across 25 developments in the neighbourhood. They say that âno where near enough is being doneâ to support the wellbeing and social needs of both current and future residents.
The 25 developments include a 180-house development on Bonnington Walk, 268 homes on the former Romney House school site, and 50 flats in place of the Cameron Centre and ex-police station on Gainsborough Square.
But the 120 member-strong Lockleaze Residents Planning Group, set up to influence developments in the area, say you need more than houses to have a community.
