Working Group Proposal
Priory Park being one of the only green spaces in our area we would like to invest in our park that would benefit the whole community.
Aim
The project would fix the current water fountain, adding picnic benches for families to sit and enjoy the park, installing table tennis tops, installing fruit trees and planters to create a community growing project for local resident to grow fruit and veg.
This project aims to bring local people together to grow food in a dedicated community gardens space. The Pandemic has shown us the benefit of gardening for physical health and mental well being. We believe that all of our residents have a right to outdoor food growing and gardening spaces. We would like to provide the physical infrastructure for this:
We will provide classes on organic, inexpensive food growing, designed to:
· help bring our residents together,
· enhance community spirit and promote healthy, outdoor activity
· Provide residents with free food from these communal facilities.
Benefits
- The benefits of this project would increase footfall and the use of the park by all residents
- Improve the appearance of the parks.
- Combat ASB and Crime
Priorities: Invest in Parks & Green spaces, Community Safety
