        Welcome to our July 2026 edition of the Newsplash – a round up of all things Urban Splash.

        Hello and welcome to your bumper summer Newsplash! Join US as we run through all the news from a jam packed season...

        Find out about the first drop of limited edition homes at Park Hill – and how you can register your interest to receive early details.

        No. 10 in the North – at New Islington?

        With Prime Minister Burnham now in office, plans are underway to establish a Number 10 in the North – and it’s right next to New Islington – an area we’ve spent 20 years transforming. Once the Cardroom Estate and backdrop to Channel 4’s Shameless, it’s been reborn from post‑industrial decline into a vibrant, mixed‑use neighbourhood, with the prospect of a northern No.10 emblematic of the work of Urban Splash and our partners here.

Drawing on 33 years of regeneration, our proposals include around 130 high‑quality apartments alongside leisure, waterfront amenities and public spaces. Working with Swansea Council, we aim to breathe new life into the area.

        BBC Sounds CrossedWires Festival at Cole Brothers in Sheffield

        CrossedWires at Cole Brothers

        Throughout our 30-plus years of regeneration we’ve always promoted community uses – even before buildings are fully developed. That continued at Cole Brothers in Sheffield, where CrossedWires Festival recently returned for a second consecutive year. The former department store hosted BBC Sounds fringe events including Radio 2’s Book Club with Sara Cox, Newscast, Traitors Uncloaked, Strange But True Crime, Nicky Campbell and more. And don't worry if you missed it, all the podcasts are on BBC iPlayer.
