BANDSTAND LATEST...

During October 2006, the City Council carried out a public consultation on the future of the Gloucester Park bandstand.  A number of options were put forward including the repair and retention of the existing building, and two brand new structures (view options).  The results showed that the majority of people were in favour of the replacement of the existing structure with a brand new victorian style bandstand (see results below).

As a result, two planning applications were made - one for the demolition of the existing structure (Planning Application number 07/00042/CON), and one for its replacement (Planning Application number 07/00041/FUL).

Both applications went to Planning Committee for consideration on 7 March 2007, where Councillors approved both applications.


THE CONSULTATION

Over 1400 responses were received and the results are set out below:

  • Option 1 - Existing Bandstand - Restored - 320 votes (23%)
  • Option 2 - Existing Bandstand - With Alterations - 131 votes (9%)
  • Option 3 - New Victorian Style Bandstand - 650 votes (46%)
  • Option 4 - New Tensile Structure - 310 votes (22%)

(View further information from the consultation responses)

The consultation consisted of:

  • 15,000 leaflets and response slips distributed to homes across central Gloucester
  • Online information and commenting facility
  • Local exhibitions (Gloucester Park and Kings Walk Shopping Centre)
  • A substantial amount of press coverage
