Day 4- Monday 5th October

Day four in the LoveEaston house: Cabot Circus Debate!

Attended one of Pierian Centres frequent debates which examines the effects of a new retail development in the city centre named Cabot Circus.
With this development there are surrounding issues which has arisen as a consequence to the 3 tier shopping centre. One of which is beginning to shape the existing city centre retail/ commercial units as they talk about ‘ghost malls’ etc. There is an interesting study which captures the international spirit of the 59 nationalities of site workers through singing and food as a common link.

As highlight in the debate series, food is a common link between all cultures. Preparation also gets going for our 'Food Fuddle' event on Thursday night. We are hoping this idea of a 'bring and share' food get-together will bring the multicultural community together for consultations.

Recieved a stack of information to digest from Shanks ...Lovely reading!

About Us

Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October. The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations. This urban regeneration document will clearly set out residents’ visions and will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority. The ProjectEaston team is based out of the LoveEaston cafe on Stapleton Rd for the duration of the project and the outcomes will be exhibited at the Bristol Architecture Centre from the 3rd November. Come along!
