Pimlico Gardens Public Consultation – Next Phase Coming Soon

Pimlico Gardens - Next Phase of the Consultation

The analysis of the online survey, the first phase of the consultation, has now been finalised and we are getting ready to engage further with the local community to discuss any proposals.

There is limited provision that caters to the diverse needs of residents that live in the vicinity of the Pimlico Gardens. There was a proposal of a few new developments that were consulted using the online survey, offering new provisions, including a toilet block, viewing platform, allocated space for play and exercise and a café /facility serving refreshments as well as an option to hear other ideas.

We are working now on the next phase of the consultation in which we will organise several engagement sessions in the coming months to share and discuss proposals with the community.

We will publish all the details and confirm dates on our Have your say page.
