Have your say on Victoria Park.

[Sir BoD]

To be fair the Willow trees grow ridiculously fast and are cut/ pollarded every couple of years as they reach the water line, those hanging branches will have grown back in no time at all.

It would be just as easy to cut the branches on the water side and trim the other to allow shade and protection. I doubt they will grow sufficiently in one summer to give any sort of protection against this glorious four month non-stop summer heatwave.

S'good job I've got me hanky at the ready.

Councils roles have changed

Making money is now a priority

Only supplying legally necessary services is where we are at

This is because Gideon/Dave have slashed our money, once forwarded to local authorities, and thus have redirected venom away from themselves onto the councils

People are not very bright when it gets complicated ie not one single shouty thang

 

[Floss]

Conservative make everyone accountable because it's not their fault

 

[The truth the whole truth]

Wherever possible, play areas will be provided on the development site. However, where this is not feasible or there is already existing provision nearby an off site contribution is made. Perfectly sensible and this is common practice across the Country.

Seems to me it's the children that miss out , poor facilities no community what's the point

How do the children miss out? They either get on site provision or an improved off site park.

Not everyone has children. A community is made up of people from all ages and the park should reflect that.

And not everyone with children wants to spend thier life in play parks.

I imagine as part of the HLF grant they have to prove a lot in the way of consultation

sadly. I think it will end up losing lots of grass, looking to touristy and full of pavements!

And you base your opinion on?

 

[markpa12003]

I think the plans are very good. Looking forward to them being implemented very soon.

 

[Gareth]

Agreed Mark..lets just hope SBC don't cut down any trees though as SBC love a pointless tree cull exercise lol

There's a fancy 'Virtual Tour' of the planned HLF funded changes to Victoria Park - https://www.so-visual.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Vicpark/index.html - Details and plans here - http://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/hlf

This has potential to add something of real value to the park and increase its use. Can't wait for it to be done.

Really disappointing to see them chasing money with the downsizing and moving of the aviary. I think this is one of the nicest features of the park and really adds to the historic feel.
