Enquiries and Contacts

The unique approach of the Bristol URBAN Programme is its bottom-up approach to economic regeneration. We want to maximise the participation of local people in the programme as well as share 'best practice' in regeneration across Europe.

In order to do this, we want your comments on the programme and your ideas on how to best regenerate Bristol's inner city. We are also happy to try and respond to any questions you may have. We would also welcome your comments on this web site.

The form below has been devised to help you communicate with us. Alternatively, you can of course write or phone.

Also below is a list of local projects and contact details.
