12/08/2022 - Let us have your views on plans to improve Stockwood Park
Following the great response to the Stockwood park consultation earlier this year views are now being sought to further develop plans to make the best use of the area for visitors.
Findings of this survey were then used to create a draft Masterplan and this second stage of consultation is to find out what people think about the plan to help refine proposals so a final Masterplan report can be developed. Views are being asked on ideas such as a new trail route around the edge of the golf course, proposed woodland, long grass and meadow areas, new picnic areas and horse riding route, improvement of the historic pond and a new cycle skills area and pump track and an improved play area in a new location.
Cllr Maria Lovell portfolio holder responsible for parks at Luton Council said, “This second part of the public consultation explores possible ways of improving Stockwood Park. We had a huge response with a wide range of views to the first part of the consultation process and these responses have helped to shape the proposals for a draft masterplan that aims to enhance the park and provide additional facilities.
“Our key objective is to ensure we can all celebrate the park’s historical importance, ancient trees and valuable wildlife habitats as well as enjoying the recreational benefits. It’s so important we get as many views as we can so encourage people to complete the survey before it ends 16 September".
The survey is online www.luton.gov.uk/letstalk along with the design boards. The boards can also be viewed in-person at The Discovery Centre, Stockwood Park and the project team will also be available 18 August, 11am to 4pm.
Paper copies of the survey are available on request.
