and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565


The renovation of The Bridge Centre in Fratton is progressing with the council announcing the opening of one new store with a further two set to open later this year. The Parenting Network’s Baby Bank is now open, providing resources to local families, and the Fratton Together Pantry and Electric Dreamz’ Tech Museum are set to open in the coming months.
Since the shopping centre was purchased by the council in September 2023, it has looked to turn it into a “dynamic mixed-use space”, providing a mixture of office spaces, co-working environments, and local retail stores.
