Description
In this area the encouragement of local wildlife and an increase of local play opportunities for children and youths were highlighted as important aspects for any proposal.
Increasing use for all of the spaces, improvements should compliment nearby playing fields and possible multi use games area being bid for on council owned land to the South East boundary to the site. This should also seek to address issues of interaction between different age groups.
Safety, especially around the pond area; adding colour and general cleanliness are also high priorities for residents of Astley Village.
Issues such as improved management of the dense tree canopy, poor lighting and leaf fall, localised flooding, congregation of youths around properties, fly tipping, litter, chewing gum and dog fouling are areas for concern for residents.
The addition of local artwork, meeting areas, benches and bins were also ideas suggested by residents but these were also tempered by the possibility of increases in anti social behaviour such as graffiti, vandalism and unwanted congregation of youths.
