Chair's Report
Minutes
The Chair gave the following report:
“Paddling Pool improvements
If you have driven along Passfield Avenue in the last two weeks you may have noticed the arrival of large earth mounds around the paddling pool and play area. This is the second phase a wider series of improvements. The mounds, combined with new planting, soften the landscape and create natural play and seating areas. The next phase starts next week, with installation of a new starter skate/bike track, a new basketball hoop and D, the new waterproof lining of the pool itself and repairs to the tarmac and park fencing.
Once the mounds have settled over the summer, we will then install an exciting new large slide on the larger mound, similar to the one at Lawn Road, and new artist designed shading for paddling pool users. Do look out for the public consultation in early summer for the shading design as we are keen to hear your views.
Together We Make Eastleigh
The 24/25 phase of the project is drawing to a close. We have been working with our consultants, Hemmingway Design in partnership with The Town Council, Eastleigh BID and Hampshire County Council. Building on the successful stakeholder survey, we are now developing a series of documents, working towards a future Town Centre Action Plan. Key among these are a Vision Document that describes the key ways we wish to improve the town, alongside an Access Plan which includes an option for pedestrianisation and the public realm improvements this would enable - all with the view to making the town a more pleasant and vibrant place for all our visitors.
Events for the spring and summer
We have a packed programme of events over the spring and summer and here are just some of the some of highlights:
