Pleck Park in Walsall will soon be improved thanks to funding from FCC Communities Foundation, a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community, conservation and heritage projects.

The creation of volunteering opportunities and involvement of the Friends of Pleck Park forms part of the improvement programme too. Twelve volunteer opportunities will be created for young people aged 16-25, aligning to the council’s healthy spaces vision to ‘increase sustainability through increased use of volunteers’.

 

FCC Communities Foundation is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund.

“ I’m delighted to be supporting this programme. We want residents to take pride in their local park, and our vision is to improve Pleck Park as a green space for local residents, enhance community well-being and provide free to access recreational facilities.

 

I’d like to thank FCC Communities Foundation for providing the funding to make this programme become a reality. It will be a real boost to the local community and I’m looking forward to seeing the new facilities take shape over the next few months. We have real ambitions for the park and I’m hoping it will achieve the prestigious Green Flag status in future years. “

Councillor Gary Flint, Portfolio Holder for Health and Wellbeing at Walsall Council

Previous ArticleThe scheme will deliver an inviting, engaging and quality public space around the northern end of Park Street and its link to Gallery Square. This will provide a stronger connection between the High Street, The New Art Gallery, Canal Basin and local restaurant and entertainment facilities. The project will help to change the experience people have when visiting Walsall Town Centre. The physical and visual links will encourage more use of the Waterfront and its facilities and put The New Art Gallery at its heart. In partnership with Canal & River Trust, the canal basin will be improved for town centre users and canal boaters. New and improved facilities will encourage boaters to visit and extend their stays around the Canal Basin, creating a vibrant and active waterfront for casual visitors, shoppers and gallery visitors. The scheme is funded through the Government’s Town Deal.
