A section of the wall along Tuffley Avenue that encloses Tuffley Park was damaged recently after a car crashed into it.
The city council were informed and have inspected the damage.
However, it could be an opportunity to do something more imaginative with the boundary.
The wall is not in the best shape, even the undamaged sections. It might be time to look at fencing or rows of trees. This would also help people to see the site.
At the moment not enough people know that the Club at Tuffley Park or the park itself are there. I’m keen to hear people’s views. Obviously cost will be a factor in what we can do but I am told that the council are looking at their options.
I live local and use this field regularly to walk my dogs. I feel it is safe for me to let my dogs off as the park is enclosed. An open field to the busy road would not be great. Tuffley park is also a cricket and sports club so unsure how that would affect the plans as you may need a barrier between that and the busy road!
Thanks Maddie, yes I agree there would definitely still need to be some sort of barrier whatever we decide to do with the wall. All best Sebastian.
It would be great to see railings and trees along that side of the park instead of the unsightly concrete wall. It would massively improve the look of that bit of the road and show off our lovely park. The cricket pitches are far enough away from that boundary to necessitate a solid wall I hope.
Thanks Elly, I agree we could be imaginative about this. As far as I know we are looking at our options but much will depend on cost and feasibility of course. All best, Sebastian
