Minutes: One item was received and presented by Stef Brammar (Appended to public document pack).
· The campaign to get a playground in Ashton Vale (AV) had been an ongoing since pre 2009. · “Ashton Vale Together” was set up to get playground running and they scoped out suitable sites to this end. The situation was outlined in the statement from Tom Penn on why suggested sites are not feasible. · All agreed that AV needs a play area of some sort and felt this was a disappointing outcome. The forum resolved to continue looking for ways around this as well as being open minded on the nature of the provision e.g. Could be simple and low maintenance. · Fencing issues also needed to be considered. · Resolution had been raised as groups in Ashton Vale had put in lots of work and didn’t want it to slip off the agenda. · Other options raised by AM after discussion with Tom Mclean including CAT. · Decision: Seconded and will be forwarded to environment group next week.
· It was noted that there are other areas not within 400m of play equipment, as per green spaces strategy, within Southville and Bedminster. This could be a wider area for environment sub-group to consider. · CIL and Section 106 process is still uncertain post April 1st but it was confirmed that the CP will have control up until then.
