Palmers Estate improvements
Supported by CIL funding from Junction Ward councillors Sheila Chapman, Benjamin Gregg and James Potts, we are currently planning improvements to the old ball court and near by green area at Palmers Estate to transform it into an attractive inclusive community space. We want to ensure the improvements meet the needs and priorities of the estates residents and local community.
With your help we can create an attractive space for you and your neighbours to enjoy, including improvements such as planting, play equipment and planters for community gardening.
Following our successful first round of engagement we are in the process of analysing all responses. In the following months we will be working internally to provide the best possible outcomes baring in mind residents responses and feasibility with budget allocated.
Once concepts are closer to being finalised we will do a second round of in person engagement to receive further feedback before commencing with works.
Project Update:
Following the second round of engagement, and direct feedback from residents we have decided to go back to the drawing board with further investigate how we should proceed with our proposed designs.
We are carefully considering your feedback and want to ensure the space reflects your priorities and preferences. We have been working in close collaboration with our design team and will be providing you with an updated design shortly.
We are very excited to make a positive change to the estate!
Initial resident survey
The feedback provided fed into early stage designs developed for the open space within the estate.
All ideas were very welcomed, the survey was open until 15th April 2025.
We also sent a letter to Palmers Estate residents which contains a paper copy of the same survey questions.
Survey background - which areas are we planning to improve?
The survey referred to the two below areas that we are looking at:
In close-up, these are:
Zone A - the old ball court
And Zone B - the open space at Greafield Close
