Have your say on improvements to Fox Hollies Park’s Play Areas

by Roger Harmer on 2 August, 2020

A consultation has just opened to enable you to have your say about improvements to be made to the play areas in Fox Hollies Park.

The consultation will run until the end of August and can be accessed via this link:

The work is being funded by contributions required from developers of local housing projects, including the housing being built on the old Hall Green Greyhound Stadium on York Road. When such developments are made the planning department insist that losses of amenity space are compensated by funding for alternative provision – in this case improvements to Fox Hollies Park.

The improvements made last year to the fencing were funded by the same route. This was done in response to an earlier consultation that said improving the security of the park was to top priority. The second priority was improving the play areas and now more funding is available, and so this is being done next.

Once the consultation is complete a detailed scheme will be worked up and any necessary approvals gained during the autumn. Actual work on site is scheduled to be done in Spring next year.

Please do complete the consultation survey so your voice is heard.

Cllr Roger Harmer
