In November 2024 we announced our proposal to close the four blocks of flats in Filton known as The Views in order to regenerate the site to provide alternative affordable housing.
Over the past few years we have had several complaints from customers about the condition of their homes in the four blocks of flat The Views. While addressing these complaints we have carried out several investigations into various aspects of the blocks. These have concluded that they suffer from poor energy efficiency which makes them expensive for customers to heat, as well as structural problems which have been responsible for condensation, damp and mould issues. The design of the flats, maisonettes and communal spaces, which cannot be easily altered, is also making flats increasingly difficult to let to new customers.
Taking all of this into consideration we have decided to close the flats and find new homes for all existing customers to enable the demolition of the four blocks at The Views and the regeneration of the site.
Updates
November 2024 - we provided information to customers and began individual consultations with customers about our plans for the flats and to discuss their options for finding a new homes
