Portishead Marina
Portishead is a coastal town on the Severn Estuary, 6 miles to the west of Bristol. Portishead had a population of 22,000 in 2016, an increase of over 3,000 since the figure of 17,130 recorded in the 2001 census LinkExternal link. A further 8,000 people are expected to settle in the area by 2026, making Portishead one of the largest towns in North Somerset.

Much of the growth of Portishead's population can be attributed to the development of the former docks. The former deep-water dock, used to supply coal and goods to the power stations, has been fully redeveloped into a modern marina with 250 pontoon berths. The areas on each side of the marina, formerly occupied by the two power stations and chemical plant, have been redeveloped to provide a wide range of housing, from townhouses to social housing to exclusive flats.
