EXPENSEMINSTER

Stafford Yard
The elegant charm of the new Bedminster

Anyone for over-priced accommodation?

Units at Stafford Yard on Malago Road (part of Bemmy Green development) are going for £1,450 – £1,600/month for 1 – 2 bedroom apartments.

That’s 3 – 4 rooms respectively with a balcony barely large enough to squeeze in a deck chair. Council flats in Withywood and Hartcliffe are better appointed.

Maybe it’ll be worth it when the shopping mall goes up next door with biometric screening and armed security to exclude the riff-raff?

Maybe the unaffordable rents reflect the panoramic views across the city complete with violet sunsets stolen from the locals living in the long shadow of the steel framed fake brick clad block of flats?

One construction worker told The BRISTOLIAN that he can’t afford to live there.

Is that the landlord we can hear laughing all the way to Dubai to sup cocktails with petro chemical giants posing as climate saviours?

FIRE ‘PROOF’?

Stafford Yard, Bedminster

Any Bemmy taking a casual stroll along Malago Road can plainly see flapping in the wind a paper thin sheet that reads fire ‘retardant’.

Grenfell Tower was clad by the local authority because posh twats in Notting Hill didn’t want to look out on something that resembled public housing. ‘Stafford Yard’ looks brick built but is in fact cladding! 

After only signing the ‘Grenfell Pledge’ under pressure it makes us wonder what other

Health & Safety short-cuts Dandara are taking.

Are they hoping that building on a floodplain will mitigate any fire risk?
