Don Morris, CEO of Radstock Co-operative Society, gave an update to members at the Society’s AGM on 11 June 2024 regarding the redevelopment plans for the former RADCO site in Radstock.
As had previously been announced in June 2023, the planning permission granted by B&NES to the Society is not viable in its current form and the Society has been undergoing a process to bring forward amended plans with a development partner and registered housing provider.
The commitment remains to provide a sustainable mixed-use scheme, on the same site, which will include a new retail store, office space, that will provide new headquarter offices for the Society, as well as new residential homes. The Society will provide further details for the site in due course.
Meanwhile, the Society are thrilled to announce that we are collaborating with students from Fosse Way School, who are creating wonderful artwork to enhance another section of the hoarding around the site. They are drawing inspiration from the local area and the values of Radstock Co-operative Society for their art pieces. We welcome other local groups and schools who are interested in contributing to the artwork to get in touch. For further information, please contact us at enquiries@radstock.coop.
