Winning entry for new Bristol Arena
Whether you love or hate the idea, this is the winning design entry for the new Bristol Arena. It will be situated close to Temple Meads in the centre of Bristol. Bmin were able to list their concerns regarding the effect it might have on the local music scene at a special presentation to members early in 2014. It is not clear if those concerns and ideas we presented had any effect, but we live in hope. As for support for it in the room…….well that was about 50/50 as memory serves.
