We asked

your opinion on chosed equipment, any additional comments and items to be considered for the project.

You said

as well as being supportive of proposals concerned about the location, anticipated noise increase and disruption from parked cars

We did

The scale and location of facilities chosen have been carefully selected to suit the site and benefit as many users as possible. Most noise from recreational use will be concentrated around the games area which will be contained on the existing hard surface far away from any housing. New decorative tree planting will help to filter noise and screen the new features. The open space is of a neighbourhood scale and most users will be accessing the site on foot. Occassional users arriving by car will be able to park on Stratford Road.

Results updated 16 Sep 2014

The consultation process is now closed. Of the 81 returned responses approximately half, 41 were against the proposals.

The community questionairres were discussed by councillors at the ward commitee meetings.

There have been three petitions presented both for and against the redevelopment of the space by some of the local residents. The proposals will be subject to a planning application and the outcome of this will inform the Hall Green Councillors on the way forward.

Overview

There is a shortfall in provision of play facilities in the Hall Green area.
Newy Goodman Park has been identified as a suitable green open space.
Some funding is available from external sources to improve the existing open space at this site.
The existing open space has no play facilities but is surrounded by mainly residential properties.
Consultation to enable local people to comment on outline proposals is being carried out. There will be a letter explaining the proposals delivered to the houses in the vicinity.
A plan is to be put up in the local Library for further detail.
