Our Public Consultation on site options for a revitalised Ravelston Park Pavilion in Ravelston Park continues...

You can view the options and share your views by 30 March 2018 in the following ways:
• At a display and drop-in consultation in Blackhall Primary School on Wed 28 March 6.30-8.30pm.
• Online (options, FAQs, printable questionnaire and link to SurveyMonkey are here http://bit.ly/BCTsiteoptions)

Please participate in our community consultation on possible site options for meeting our community’s needs (identified through public consultation in 2016/17) for more early years places and a community hub in Ravelston Park Pavilion (Blackhall Nursery), Ravelston Park.

There are five options:
• Option 1 (extension to current building; no space for a community hub);
• Option 2 (new build on current site; requires a decant for Blackhall Nursery);
• Option 3 (east end of park);
• Option 4 (in front of existing building);
• Option 5 (on playpark; relocate playpark to existing Ravelston Park Pavilion site).

We are also seeking your views on the project in principle and on Community Asset Transfer as a possible way forward. We would be delighted to hear your ideas for uses of the community hub too.

Please bear in mind the following points:
• We need enough space to improve Blackhall Nursery and to create a community hub to meet identified community needs
• We would need a strong case based on precedent to achieve planning permission and to be awarded a Scottish Land Fund grant to fund the Community Asset Transfer
• We want to minimise impact on Ravelston Park and on Ravelston Park users
• We want to minimise impact on neighbours
• These are only outline ideas to sift possible locations and are entirely subject to the community's response to these ideas and to planning permission and funding.
Thank you in advance for your participation!
