The Carriageworks and Westmoreland House

The Carriageworks and Westmoreland House site is of paramount importance to the future of Stokes Croft; a high-profile example of what we want to achieve within our local area and a symbol for those outside our community looking in.

Within Stokes Croft exists a passionate communal desire to see both buildings evolve into a community asset. Encouraging active engagement in debates relating to property use and ownership – whether at key local sites or in our wider global environment – is a core objective of PRSC.

Members of the community sought to demonstrate a response to the planning application at Carriageworks and Westmoreland house; the #communityworks movement evolved.

Below are installations and events organised by the people of Stokes Croft, ranging from 2007 until present.

The Carriageworks development will make a positive contribution to the economy, culture and environment of Stokes Croft and the surrounding area. It will be a mixed use development that is home to many activities, businesses and people. It will be a buzzing, vibrant place for people from the local communities and from further afield…
