Shaping the Future of Staddlestones Park

September

Somer Valley Rediscovered are currently working on the creation of a site masterplan for improvements to Staddlestones Park for residents. Following discussions with the project partners and Somer Valley Steering Group members on how the park could be improved, a landscape architect was appointed to create a draft site masterplan based on thei mprovements that were identified and that aligned with the Somer Valley Rediscovered objectives.

A 6-week public consultation took place to engage with the local community on the development and longer-term management of Staddlestones Park, ending on the 22nd July. The plan is for future improvements to increase biodiversity and create a pleasant, welcoming space for everyone to use for their physical and mental wellbeing.

Ideas for improvements to Staddlestones Park include:

  • better entrances and paths
  • tree planting
  • meadow creation
  • additional seating

The proposals seek to encourage greater use of the site, make it more accessible for people and retain a natural feel that also encourages wildlife.

A final site masterplan will be created in August, based on feedback, and published on this website.

Somer Valley Rediscovered Greenspaces: User Feedback Form
At B&NES council we’ve received funding from WECA to make various improvements to five greenspaces in the Somer Valley area. We want to understand the difference we’ve made to both the biodiversity of the sites and the benefits of these improvements for site users, so we can continue to improve these areas for the local community. Responses are anonymous and will be analysed independently by ERS Ltd., a local research company.
