Warehouse premises to let in Bristol see hint that £100m funding application will win government

Warehouses to let in Avonmouth  excited as a transport minister has dropped a major hint that a bid of £100 million for the Bristol Metro package will win Government backing. As reported in the Post, a bid has been put together by councils in the region to pay for a major scheme of improvements to the rail network around the city. The improvements would include the long-awaited reopening of the Bristol to Portishead line, the creation of the Henbury loop line in north Bristol and a string of other improvements and new stations. Transport minister Justine Greening appeared to give her backing to the project on a visit to Bristol which saw her officially open new aircraft stands at Bristol Airport. She said: “I think a strong public transport system is vital for economic growth and jobs and that is why as a government we have invested in major projects such as the electrification of the Great Western line and the Rapid Transit System in Bristol.
