Council progress plans for enhanced visitor facilities at Bramcote Hills Park
At Cabinet on Tuesday 29 September, councillors approved the allocation of further funds to develop more detailed designs and plans, site surveys and investigations, and the appointment of specialist consultants, progressing the project to RIBA Stage 3. Once completed, these will help the Council to pursue external funding opportunities, including investment through the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA).
The proposed visitor facility would include a café with seating for around 20 customers, public toilets including accessible facilities, flexible community and exhibition space, and external seating areas and landscaping.
Five sites at the park were included in a feasibility survey, with an option close to the existing car park and play area selected as the preferred location.
Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Environment, Councillor Tyler Marsh said, “Bramcote Hills is an incredibly popular site amongst our residents and beyond, and so I’m really excited to be able to progress this project.
“Feedback from our residents is vital in helping us shape the future of our parks and open spaces, and the lack of visitor facilities like a café and toilets at Bramcote Hills is feedback we hear often. We’ve listened, and are pushing forward to deliver for our residents, putting significant investment into this development.”
Subject to necessary funding, planning approvals, and procurement, the new facility could be opened in 2028.
