Oakbourne Road Open Space – undervalued
2 Comments · Posted by Tim Parkinson in Low value green spaces
Investment opportunity to improve the space
Well used site -mainly dog walking, passing through
Most significant space in Brentry therefore key investment site.
More opportunities could be explored for informal recreation space utilising fledgling woodland at centre (huge part of the site which is mostly inaccessible)
Propose new CPG facility here

Crow Lane Open Space / Henbury Conservation Area / Tormarton Crescent Housing and Open Space- undervalued

- Investment opportunity to improve the space
Area Green Space Plan Assessment of this site states:
“Local residents feel passionate that Crow Lane Open space is at the heart of their community – however it’s “no go” reputation and associated anti-social behaviour at certain times of the day and evening, it’s size and the access to all of the space makes it difficult for this sense of ownership to be expressed.”
Crow Lane Open Space is being looked at separately by Masterplanners employed by the City Council. Proposals for these sites will be presented during a public consultation in September. A session was held to discuss these sites in May – these views have been fed back through into the work considered by the masterplanners.

Which would be preferred area if were to partially dispose?

Backlands site on edge of busy road and tucked behind flats and other housing.
Use is mainly as a young people’s hang-out spot with the occasional dog walker.
Feels unsafe
Not suitable site for children’s play – will be approaching Children’s Centre to identify potential for siting CPG there and exploring Oakbourne Road as another site for this in Henbury.
Site gets flytipped regularly.
