Purpose

To enable the timely delivery of the expansion
and refurbishment of Filwood Community Centre, part of the wider
Transforming Filwood Broadway regeneration project.
Bristol City Council has been granted Levelling Up Funding for the
Filwood Broadway Regeneration project and subsequent cabinet
approval to delegate authority to the Executive Director of Growth
and Regeneration to procure and award contracts to deliver the
project, in consultation with the S151 Officer, and Chair of the
Homes and Housing Delivery Committee. The decision is to grant
Community in Partnership Knowle West a grant of £171,000 to
support the organisation’s interim requirements and loss of
income, incurred due to the capital works programme to Filwood
Community Centre. This follows smaller grant payments made in 2024
and 2025.

2025/2026.

Alternative options considered

N/a. CIPKW are the community centre operators,
so no other options were considered. Savings have been made
wherever possible, and the organisation is still expected to suffer
some loss during this period.
