Quote George Osborne in Manchester 16th September 2016 09:20.
"Frankly when you're in politics and do jobs like I have done you put out ideas and launch initiatives that don't get off the ground"
So this idea is about improving the park near where I live,
Ninefoot park,
A place of play
Current position
Nine foot park is a large open public space, tree lined containing 2 football pitches and evidence of previous place equipment.
Proposal,
To create an open space with a variety of activities for all ages to enjoy the great outdoors, including places to play, exercise or rest and relax.
The proposal is to set up a local interest/residents/park neighbours group to work in partnership with the public sector to oversee and deliver an equipped open space. This will include aspiration, designing, fund raising (collections, donations and grant funding)and planning the project. Equipment will be procured and installed by professional specialist companies.
Equipment
- 2 sport walls, one for teens and adults and one for juniors, these are the traditional wall with goal and basketball hoop, I wrote of the virtues of kicking a ball in the blog entry about Childhood Obesity, basically unless the ball comes back its really boring.
- 2 climbing frame/ play areas as per the pictures below, this is to cater for different age groups
- 2 twin frames of swings, providing 4 cradle swings and 4 normal swings, it amazes me how people just love sitting on swings.
- Covered benches are also needed in the park to focus places to sit and spend time
- 1 Adult/teen trim track 1.5 km trim trail including 8-10 different exercises and signage for direction and instruction
Delivery
- Confirm TBC have no plans or reasons to refuse as landowners etc
- Create Group
- Agree roles
- Agree designs
- Create fundraising plan
- Source suppliers
- Install equipment
Before too much work is done we must be clear that the landowner will not have any issues in trying to complete this. It is also important that we work with the local authority as this will have an impact on deliverability with regards Public Liability, planning permission and landlords consent.
Whilst at this stage this scheme is merely an idea a key to delivering the long term sustainability of the area community buy in is essential. The role of a local interest group is key to the projects delivery however the roles within the group will be varied from soft consultation and participation with events through to part time volunteer role in project management or treasury.| Costs of project | |||
