This month’s local elections have brought a huge shake-up at Bristol City Council.
When city councillors gather for their first full meeting since the elections more than half of the faces on the City Hall benches are new.
Homes do look likely to be built, however, as part of a regeneration plan for Glencoyne Square.
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.
It 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.

“Southmead really is a special place,” says Helen Godwin, Bristol’s cabinet member for women, families & homes, and one of two Labour councillors in Southmead ward who are both standing for re-election.
