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%)
