Loughborough Junction Action Group, along with other local groups and interested parties met with the sub-group of the Friends of Ruskin Park yesterday, Tuesday 18 March, to discuss the renovation of the stable block in the park.
The stable block in its current state, Ruskin Park
Architects Pollard Thomas Edwards (who redesigned Brockwell Lido) have been charged with carrying out a feasibility study and were at the meeting. The group has received Heritage Lottery funding to do this.
A cafe and gallery, nursery, community meeting space and venue, or dual purpose use were some of the suggestions. People agreed it was important that whatever the choice it was sustainable.
A public consultation will take place in Ruskin Park on Sunday 18 May from 10am- 4pm. At this point, there will be a number of options for park users to respond to. This will be followed up with a public Friends of Ruskin Park Meeting on Tuesday 20 May at 7.30pm in the Cambria Pub, Kemerton Road when the outputs of the consultation will be shared.
