Play park surveys go live
FAMILIES who use the play areas in Page Park are being urged to say what new facilities they need.
South Gloucestershire Council is due to start discussions with volunteer group the Friends of Page Park in May on improving the park’s play and sports equipment.
The project is likely to focus first on the metal equipment in the play area for younger children between the clock tower and South View, which has not been replaced for many years.
Surveys asking park users what they would like to see are available at the Bean tree Cafe in the park, and volunteers are also approaching parents in the park with copies of the survey to fill in.
Friends vice-chair Steph Purser said: “This will be a huge project, it will take lots of discussion and funding and is not a quick fix, but what it will need is input from our community and people to come forward to help progress the project.
“It would be lovely to have some young parents come forward and help
“We do want the community to come forward. It’s no good moaning afterwards that we should have done this or that – we need to have the input of young parents, and younger people getting involved.
“We have our own ideas but we need to know what other people want to see.”
Litter pickers needed
VOLUNTEERS are needed to help blitz litter in Page Park.
The park used to have a group called the Page Park Wombles to keep litter in check and the Friends of Page Park are looking to revive it.
They are also calling on people not to leave bags of litter next to full bins, as they are being torn open by foxes and seagulls.
Anyone interested in becoming a womble should email friendsofpageparkbs16@gmail.com or contact the group via its Facebook page.
