Gospel Oak Road Park, Tipton, consultation

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) has secured funding through the West Midlands Combined Authority from Sport England to improve an area of land to provide an opportunity for local people to be more active, improve their wellbeing and potentially act as an area for education.

It is part of a wider project being managed by the West Midlands Combined Authority which also includes public spaces in Walsall and Coventry. The area of land adjacent to Gospel Oak, Tipton, has been chosen for the Sandwell project, and stakeholder engagement is required to enable ideas about the possible future for the site to be shared.

Following the stakeholder meetings which have taken place over the past year, Sandwell Council is now going out to public consultation to inform the final stages of the design of the park space on Gospel Oak Road. See attached documents:

Stakeholder information document
One-page adult feedback leaflet
One-page child feedback leaflet

The two double-sided single page leaflets are designed to be printed and filled out.

The information document provides stakeholders and interested parties with details of the site and an opportunity to share ideas for its possible development. It should be noted that additional stakeholder engagement sessions will be undertaken in the future once restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic are eased.

Responses and any questions can be directed to active_spaces@sandwell.gov.uk.

The deadline for responses is Saturday 31st July.
