Located in the village of Winscombe, the War Memorial Recreation Ground provides residents and visitors with sports playing fields, adult exercise equipment, children's play areas and a skate park. The skate park consists of a number of ramps which have been maintained, replaced and added to over a number of years. The central piece of equipment (spine ramp between the quarter pipes and flat banks) is little used and the surfaces deteriorating with age. It is this piece of equipment that now needs replacing with something more forgiving to younger/novice users. The users of the park have assisted with a design for the replacement ramp and the parish council is now seeking tenders from suitably qualified contractors to supply and install the ramp and remove the old play ramp along with all waste from this. Equipment supplied and installed must be in accordance with current British and European EN standards for skate parks and the contract must be completed before 31st March 2023 to comply with grant funding conditions.

Christian Malford Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced Contractor to design and deliver new playground equipment, surfacing and associated works at the Recreation Ground. The project is largely being driven by a local community group, with the backing of the Parish Council who has committed a percentage of the overall cost. The layout should be accessible throughout with some ideas taken from the list of proposed equipment, however also using your own creative licence. Consideration should also be taken in terms of the trees and shrubs in close proximity which has contributed to moss and debris on the current surfacing, and potential root damage to surfacing. Maintenance is important in that the investment being made is considered to be one that will last many decades, with a moderate maintenance budget where possible.

Introduction Cringleford Town Council (CPC), located within the South Norfolk Council district, is seeking to appoint a consultant to assist in the review and re-write of the Cringleford Neighbourhood Development Plan (CNDP). Background The 2014 CNDP was one of the first Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDP) to be adopted nationally. This plan will expire in 2026 and therefore a review / rewrite is required to take effect from 2026. A desktop exercise was undertaken by a consultant followed by meetings between Councillors, in which the advantages and disadvantages of writing a new plan were considered. At its July 2024 meeting Council agreed to write a new plan. Brief CPC requires quotes from consultants suitably experienced in spatial planning, policy preparation, community engagement, national and local planning policies, and a good working knowledge of neighbourhood planning, to assist CPC with the project. Cringleford Parish has already undergone considerable development and there are very few areas left where large-scale development can take place. However, one of our main aims in writing a new plan is to protect the Parish from further housing, and control redevelopment of existing stock via a Design Code that can based on defined areas of Cringleford using an up-to-date Character Appraisal and an up-to-date Housing Needs survey. Protecting local green spaces, whether parish or private, and views based on a Biodiveristy / Ecological survey of parish is a further requirement. The review must also note and take into consideration the newly adopted Greater Norwich Local Plan and any significant strategy and policy changes that may be under current consideration by the UK Government. A working group will be established to oversee the CNDP review. The Working Group will be made up of Parish Councillors, ideally with representatives of local community groups, and residents. The working group will meet on a regular basis for the duration of the commission and will be responsible for managing the overall direction and progress of the assignment, ensuring that the commission is executed in accordance with the brief and that key deliverables are produced to the required quality and within the agreed timescale. It is expected that representatives of the consultant team will service these meetings. FOR FULL DETAILS SEE ATTACHMENT / OR OUR WEBSITE cringlefordpc.org.uk
