Working with local community and stakeholder groups we developed the Knowle West Regeneration Framework Go to files/documents/3479-knowle-west-map3/file (opens new window) and Filwood Broadway Framework Go to files/documents/3485-filwood-broadway-framework-final-1/file (opens new window) which identified key projects for transformational change to regenerate Filwood.
In January 2023, Filwood was awarded £14.5m of funding from the Government's Levelling Up Fund Go to https://levellingup.campaign.gov.uk/what-is-levelling-up/ (opens new window), and with £1.72m of council funding, this investment will enable these projects identified in the Filwood Broadway Framework to start:
