| Given the rumpus over having to save £2000 according to councillors, which has necessitated (we're told) having to lease our small open space out for grazing, like me you may be puzzled by the following. Why on earth a 'temporary cafe' is being suggested when there is a perfectly good café in the Leisure Campus which isn't exactly overrun seems short-sighted to say the least. We can only hope these 'masterplanners' (is that some sort of cobblers for consultants?) actually listen to people but don't get too excited yet, the council's track record on that is p*sspoor at best. So where is the money coming from for this and why have we had to lose a local amenity if there's money available? Redlees revamp gets green light Mon, 23 March 2015 A two-phase plan to revamp Redlees Park in Isleworth will get underway next month, the council has announced. Councillors have agreed to appoint masterplanners in May to start public consultation on long-term improvements to the park. The aim is to ask existing and potential park users what facilities they would like to see on the popular six hectare site and how these can be delivered most effectively for the community. It will also address the long-standing concerns, such as the car park congestion and the deteriorating condition of the tennis courts, five-a-side pitch and other facilities. In the shorter-term, the council has agreed to boost use of the park by introducing a temporary café and a natural play area for children by the summer. The play area, which is likely to feature balancing logs, den buildings and climbing poles, will replace the old version which was closed recently due to broken equipment. The council also aims to deliver a major event in the autumn to encourage local people to enjoy the park more. A to Z of Services » |
