Council to allow unauthorized van dwellers to live legally in front of £350k new builds | SWNS

Homeowners in Southmead, Bristol, have criticized council plans to turn an unauthorized van dweller encampment into a legal “Meanwhile Site” beside new-build homes. The proposal by the Green-run Bristol City Council would create a managed site with licensed pitches, toilets, water access and waste disposal for people living in vehicles. Locals have raised concerns over safety and house values, with some saying they have “lost their life savings” by buying £350k homes next to the plot. Council officials defended the scheme, saying managed sites reduce anti-social behavior and provide safer, more stable living conditions than unauthorized roadside encampments. ------------------------------ Please subscribe for daily viral videos and check out all our social channels here: https://linktr.ee/swns To license this video for editorial or commercial use please contact [email protected]
