Update on plans to turn former Bristol pub into youth club

The opening of the space at The Swan, which closed four years ago, has been slightly pushed back to later in the year, according to The Barton Bugle. 

The former pub, on Morley Street and Bright Street in Barton Hill, is currently being renovated by the Wellspring Settlement, a community centre located next door to it.  

But converting the old pub building is understood to have been challenging, with work taking longer than originally expected.

The building has however received a new paint scheme, with a new mural to be painted onto the exterior of the building at a later date.      

The name of the new youth club is also yet to be announced, with this and the activities it will offer to be decided by a planning group which includes young people from Barton Hill.
