Prestbury Planters

Planter

In a July 2020, a group of local volunteers, the Prestbury Planters, led by Prestbury resident Jo Simons, planted out three large flower displays to welcome people to the Parish of Prestbury, on Prestbury Road, Bouncers Lane and Southam Road.

The flowers in the planters look fabulous and enhance the drive into the parish.

The planters were partly paid for using a grant from Gloucestershire County Council’s “Growing Communities” fund, and we thank them for their generosity, together with support from The Jockey Club and Cheltenham Racecourse, who have helped keep the plants watered over the summer.

Prestbury Playing Fields – MUGA Development

Prestbury Parish Council have now had confirmation that the MUGA installation work will begin on Monday 8th June 2020.  These works are likely to take six weeks.  During this period the Prestbury Playing Fields will be closed and fencing put in place to prevent access to the general public.  This is necessary to protect the general public and ensure Caloo, the contractors meet their legal requirements for Health & Safety and Risk Assessment on a development site.

The Covid-19 situation has clearly made life difficult but there will still be full access  to the Barley Road Public Open Space and we encourage you to utilise this newly acquired green space.

Many thanks for co-operation.
