ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help
members of the local community as they think about what
could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative
solutions may well emerge over
the coming
decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable
it to happen. 1. 2. 3. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
site encompasses the sloped area of land between
Manchester Road and the Victory Club car park. A
footpath down to the club entrance forms the west
boundary and the car park driveway (next to the
Rugby Club) lies to the east. Most of the site
consists of dense planting of willow, sycamore,
elder, and ash, which spills over onto the pavement
next to Manchester road. A stream runs through this
vegetation, creating a lush boggy area. Safety The
site lies right next to the busy main road, which
would be hazardous for children. The regular use of
the Victory Club ensures that the space has a
friendly feel, with the car park and club providing
surveillance. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site is currently unused, due to the impenetrable
vegetation. The adjacent car park is used by local
children for riding their bikes and playing. There
is also evidence of fly-tipping here. Activities
that could be supported in the
future Some
of the vegetation could be cleared and the site
used by the Victory Club for outdoor seating, or as
a children's play area. Ideas
