Jacqueline Whitworth-Allan and Ben Wayles continued their journey through Wales over the weekend to undertake #PublicConsultation on regenerating a local park in Rhos-on-Sea. 🌊 LUC has been appointed by the Friends of Rhos-on-Sea community group, and two local Conwy councillors who are driving the project. The group applied for and received funding from the UK Government for us to develop feasibility and concept proposals to rejuvenate a well-loved #CommunityPark. 🌳 We’ve already undertaken an engagement session and walkaround to understand more about the site and listen to client and #community expectations. Our latest visit was an opportunity to demonstrate that we’d listened to their thoughts and transformed them into a series of layout options, accompanied by sketches based on community suggestions and precedents of what has been achieved elsewhere. Key hopes for this project: 🤸♀️ To increase activities in the park for young people and teenagers. 🚶 To encourage use of the park by creating more circular walking routes and installing more seating and shelter. ☔️ To improve access and provide #sustainable solutions to drainage issues The visit was really positive, and we engaged with around 50 community members, who fed back on our draft designs. It was refreshing to hear from a range of stakeholders, from boys as young as five, girls aged 11 to 14 letting us know what would make them feel safer, young adults aged 20 – 25, parents, and older people too. Rhos-on-Sea has an ageing demographic and a high percentage of vulnerable people, so it was vital to ensure their voices were welcomed and heard. Next steps 👉 devising a preferred design option, supporting the community group to ensure deliverability, and working together towards a regenerated #GreenSpace that will benefit the #wellbeing of the entire community.
