Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath - have your say on community facilities

Your Focus Team wants your views on improving community facilities in Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath.

Some of the money left over when the council houses were transferred to Merlin has been shared among the South Glos Councillors to spend on schemes in their wards which would benefit local residents, especially the former council house tenants.

In Frampton Cotterell Parish, Cllrs Pat and Dave Hockey are considering an aerial runway at Beesmoor Road Playing Field in partnership with the Playing Field Committee. An aerial runway was the top priority identified by local young people in the recent report issued by Village Action. Pat and Dave are also considering two BBQ units at the Centenary Field in partnership with Frampton Cotterell Parish Council. This would solve the problem of bench seats being burnt when disposable BBQs are lit on them. Please contact Pat or Dave  ASAP if you would like to support or comment on these suggestions.

Claire Young (pictured above outside the Manor Hall) delivered letters and talked to people living in the
former Council houses in the part of Coalpit Heath she represents. Currently, she plans to spend just over £2000 on providing proper dropped kerbs on Rose Oak Lane near the junction with Badminton Road, so residents with mobility problems from Coalville Road and Woodside Road can get to the bus stop on Badminton Road. Claire is proposing that a similar amount of money is shared at the Manor Hall between the disabled toilets, toddler play equipment and plants for the community garden. If you have any comments, please contact Claire ASAP.
