Project Overview
Walsall Council is looking to appoint a single competent contractor to complete parks projects under the 'One Palfrey Big Local Parks and Play' scheme.
One Palfrey Big Local is a resident led programme supported by a Local Trusted Organisation (Walsall Council for the parks and play project) and a Big Local Rep. The Partnership consists of 12 residents who live in the OPBL area.
One Palfrey Big Local partnership guides the Big Local making decisions about funding. To achieve OPBL's vision, residents chose four priorities that are based on the changes they most want to see:
o A cleaner and safer Palfrey neighbourhood
o Healthier residents with a sense of community & wellbeing
o Better access to jobs, training and lifelong learning
o Improved community activities and services for all.
As part of these priorities and local consultation the OPBL decided to look at a park and play improvement programme for 3 local sites.
