The new investment into Brooklands is welcome and credit to the councillor and local councillors, such as Cllr Keith Bickers, for championing this cause for local residents.
Friend of Brooklands Park have provided a really positive and helpful explanation entitled "WHATS GOING ON?!" which explain what has happened so far and what the next steps are.
Including setting out a useful summary:
-
"The Council committed £850,000 towards the dredging and rebuild of the lake - The first stage of improvement works.
-
"This work is nearly done, with banks rebuilt, islands created and a new boardwalk over natural habitat.
-
"Last year, WBC did a public consultation on what people thought of Brooklands and what they wanted to see there. Nearly 1000 of you replied (Thanks to everyone that did)
-
"Using that information, WBC are working alongside external consultants to work on a master plan, which will outline several different options for what can be done for the site.
-
"The plan should be released over the coming weeks, at which there will be a public consultantion for residents and community groups like us at FOB to give their thoughts.
-
"Once eveyrone has had their say and a clear vision can be agreed upon, a final plan will be drafted and released."
