Community Hall & Outdoor Gym Facilities @ Dickerage Park

Despite a population of !0.5k+, Coombe Vale Ward does not have any dedicated community facility serving all sections of the community. ( The current building within the AfC perimeter will not serve the purpose). Current plans to develop the Vauxhall Dealership site at the Triangle provides a perfect oppotunity to build a community hall within the adjacent grteen space in Dickerage Park. 

The facility should include a small stage and seating capacity for up to 150/200 people, with flexible doors that can be opened to provide outdoor seating capacity during warmer months. This will help facilitate social gatherings,community celebrations, fitness classes / yoga and so on.

Out door gym facilities, similar to those provided at Manor Park would also be welcome e.g table tennis, chess tables etc. 

Thank you 

Will help tackle deteriorating physical health due to poor day to day mental health issues.

Loneliness and social isolation among senior citizens, especially during winter months impacts negatively on too many CV residents. Given insreasingly fractured politics, its important to create, welcomimg, vibrant spaces for ppeople to mingle, network, share and hopefully care too :looking out for each other, providing additional channels of support at times of need.

Outdoor gym equipment may also encourage more 'intergenerational' visits and activitiesto a lovely green space on CV Residents' door step. 

A performance stage will help facilitate talks, debates, community briefings, a vaccination hub and more.
