Demolition continues apace at former police station
There could soon be little left of the former Trinity Road police station.
Work is continuing apace to demolish the ex-cop shop in St Jude’s, on which will be built more than 100 new flats.
The plans for the site have been a long time in the making and were almost jeopardised by spiralling costs before a £1.5m bailout was approved by Bristol City Council to revive the scheme.
is needed now More than ever

Once demolition has finished, the Guinness Partnership will build 104 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments in its place, which will be available for social rent.
A new police station will also be built on the ground floor of the new building, where a police station in different guises has been located for many years.
