Have your say on proposals for Memorial Park, Redhill (1 Mar 2010)
The Council is asking for the community’s views on Memorial Park in Redhill to help create a long term vision to improve the park.
So that people can find out more about the plans and have their say on what they like about the park and what changes they would like to see, the Council has organised a number of consultation events.
Exhibition
An exhibition showing design ideas for the park and information about the project will be on display at the Belfry Shopping Centre, Redhill, from Thursday 4 March to Saturday 6 March. Officers will be on hand to answer questions between 10.00am and 4.00pm.
Public meeting
A public meeting has also been arranged for Tuesday 9 March 2010 at the Harlequin Theatre, Redhill.
The meeting, which starts at 7.00pm and runs until 9.00pm, will be an opportunity to hear about some of the design concepts currently being considered and discuss your views with members of the design team. No pre-booking is required.
Help shape plans
Cllr Allen Kay, Executive Member for Regeneration, said: “Over the next few years, the regeneration of Redhill will result in a number of changes in the town centre, including to Memorial Park.
"The park is an important green space in the town but many of its facilities are in need of improvement.
"We are keen to hear your views on Memorial Park and what changes you would like to see, so that you can help shape our future plans for improving it.”
Online survey
If you are unable to attend the exhibition or public meeting, further information and design ideas for the park are available to view on the Memorial Park consultation page of the website, along with an online questionniare to have your say.
The questionnaire is also available from Redhill Help Shop and Redhill Library. The deadline for responses is Friday 26 March 2010.
Corporate presentation
If you work for a local organisation and you and your colleagues are interested in the Council’s plans for the Park, it may be possible to provide a presentation to your organisation.
Please contact the Memorial Park project manager for details on 01737 276210.
Next steps
Following the consultation, the Council will work with local partners to develop detailed plans and secure funding. The improvements will be funded from a variety of sources and the Council will be seeking sponsorship and grant funding where possible.
The time scale for delivering any changes will be dependent on the availability of funding and the time scale of other regeneration activity in Redhill. It is also likely that the improvements would be delivered in phases over several years.
