Harbour Hopes is the creative engagement programme for the regeneration of Western Harbour
Through this open conversation and exploration of ideas, we asked what your hopes for the area’s future are – whether you’re a regular or rarely come to this part of the city.
These ideas will feed into a vision to evolve the area around Cumberland Basin and the western end of the New Cut into an active and sustainable neighbourhood. A place that respects heritage and local people as well bringing new places: to play, to work, to live - connected by better transport.
This is a Bristol City Council initiative to hear hopes from across the city as part of the Western Harbour regeneration project.
