Sarah Cemlyn has posted this good news about our Park Children’s Play area.
This is to let you know about the successful FoSAP grant applications to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government Pocket Parks Plus Fund, of £32,500 (including £7,500 matched funding from Bristol City Council Assets Team) and to Ibstock Enovert Trust, £20,031 (with 60% matched funding provided by the Pocket Parks Plus fund).
Possible further development of the play area in St Andrews Park
Friends of St Andrews Park, in consultation with Bristol City Council, is considering the longer term needs of the play area in the park, including the playground and paddling pool. The play area is very popular but some of the equipment is ageing, some groups of children may be less well catered for, and there are some issues with drainage and layout on the site. FoSAP is therefore in the process of applying for a Wellbeing grant from the Ashley, Easton and Lawrence Hill Neighbourhood Partnership for a survey and outline design from a landscape architect for possible redesign and redevelopment of the play area. If the application, to be submitted by 24th August, is successful, this would be just the first stage and a basis for local consultation in what might be a much longer term project.
The views of park users and local people will be a crucial element of this project. FoSAP looks forward to hearing any questions, suggestions or proposals that you would like to put forward at this early stage about the play area. You may respond here or to playstandrews@gmail.com

A COMMUNITY netball hoop has been installed in St Andrew's Park – much to the delight of children and adults who live nearby. Regular players, part-timers and young novices all enjoyed practising their shooting once it was unveiled at the weekend.
The Friends of St Andrew's Park were awarded £863 from the Bishopston, Cotham and Redland Neighbourhood Partnership to add the latest facility at the popular green space.
Good News ..... Work on the new drainage for the playground will start Wednesday 6th November.
