Pennyquick Park - update

Following feedback from residents, Councillors Tim Ball and Sarah Moore have met with the Parks team and Cabinet Member responsible to discuss all options.

They have asked the parks team to draw up plans for full refurbishment of the park to include, replacing play equipment, installation of disabled play equipment, outdoor gym equipment, a path around the circumference of the park, replacement pump track, picnic benches, more seating and a wildflower meadow area.

Councillor Sarah Moore has submitted an application for CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) funding to put in some outdoor gym equipment and refurbishment of the pump track and this will be decided at a meeting in July.

All other aspects are being costed and whilst there is not currently a budget to do all the work, once the costs are known, they are looking at a phased approach to the work and are looking at all possible funding streams to enable it to happen.

Tim and Sarah are committed to improving this amazing park and will keep everyone updated of progress.
