Our parks and green spaces are vital to our community. They are where we play, exercise and relax. When they were threatened with being sold off in 2011 we rallied around and fought back. We stopped them then and since then have worked together to improve them.
As your Councillor I have:
- Forced the former Mayor to back down on plans to close the Blaise Museum.
- Secured funding to get a play area restored to Okebourne Park and expanded the play area on Crow Lane. These have been delivered.
- I lead community litter picks into our green spaces to try and keep them clean.
- As mentioned above - stopped the sell off proposals.
- Got additional benches & paths installed and trees planted across Henbury & Brentry.
- Secured funding for the Multi-use Games Area on Crow Lane.
- Helped secure a new outdoor gym in Blaise.
I am not resting on my laurels though and I continue to strive to improve them still further.
We all love our parks and together we can make them better!
