Stotfold Town Council sought feedback from residents in respect of its proposal for a new wheeled sports facility in the town to be located in Greenacre Park.

Residents were encouraged to leave their feedback via an online and/or paper survey. 

The final consultation closed on the 10th November 2024, with a consultation event taking place at the Greenacre Centre from 3pm - 7pm.

A list of Frequently Asked Questions is available here. This will be an evolving set of questions and replies as the consultation progresses.

Stotfold Town Council sought to collaborate with all residents to shape the design to ensure it meets the needs of the users and serves the community as a whole.

The original design was a concept. Resident and user feedback was required to shape the nature of the design and to make it a facility accessible to all ages and skill levels whilst also having residents in mind to address concerns regarding noise, vandalism and possible anti-social behaviour.

All feedback given, either at the consultation event or via the survey was collated. 

The location of the old wheeled sports facility is no longer suitable due to the proximity of the old site to residential development and the River Ivel which would leave the facility vulnerable to flooding. The proposed site is close to the A507, to reduce any nuisance to nearby properties.

The location of the site also allows the park to be built into the ground, which is beneficial for many reasons, including noise mitigation, the management of surface water, and the aesthetic of the park itself means that the number of ramps that are visible above ground is minimised. The design also allows clear sightlines to assist in reducing any potential anti-social behaviour.
