Residents in South Gloucestershire have had their say on the location of a new biodiversity-focused park to commemorate the Queen's Jubilee. The park will be created by South Gloucestershire Council, which allocated £500,000 in funding earlier this year for the new project.
There were three possible sites to choose from in the Cadbury Heath area – Warmley Pitch and Putt, Banjo Island and Tarzan Park. The public consultation was held to tie in with the Jubilee week celebrations running from May 30 to July 11, and the council received nearly 200 responses.
The former Warmley Pitch and Putt golf course will become the site of the park celebrating HRH Queen Elizabeth’s 70-year reign as monarch and also honour the late Duke of Edinburgh. Work will now begin to develop the plans for a new area where people can enjoy nature - as well as boost biodiversity - with a wildflower meadow and new trees part of the proposals.
