Welcome to our Spring 2011 Newsletter |
|
Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter, we’ve had some great successes recently which further confirm our place one of the leading consultancies on Parks for People projects. We often get asked what we can offer people thinking of putting a parks project together and we believe that it’s our all round knowledge of restoration plus our enabling and facilitation skills that set us apart from other consultancies. We can offer clients an ‘end to end’ service from feasibility to implementation through all stages of the project life cycle. But more than any other company we bring not only consultation and project management skills but detailed knowledge of the parks for people programme – knowledge that is drawn on by HLF themselves. So if you are at any stage of making a bid for Parks for People funding why not give us a call to see how we could help you make your project a success? We’ve just passed the £100m mark – across 35 projects that we’ve been involved in a few case studies are highlighted below. |

Priory Park |
|
 |
CFP helped Dudley Council secure a Stage 2 pass on this £2.78m HLF funded restoration project and recently won the tender to project manage the implementation on site. Having project managed the development stage as well as leading on the consultation and revenue aspects of the project we can’t wait to see the results delivered on the ground. We’re busy appointing the design team and getting archaeologists, arborists and artists ready to go! |
Sydney Gardens |
|
 |
One of our biggest challenges to date is to help our client team pull together a Round 1 application for Sydney Gardens in Bath. Home to the Holburne Museum, part of a world heritage site, crossed by the Great Western Railway and the Kennet and Avon Canal and containing many listed buildings and structures, this former Georgian pleasure garden needs new life breathing into it. |
Brinton Park |
|
 |
Working with Wyre Forest District Council to help develop a Round 1 bid to HLF. We advised the client on project development and ensured that the proposals were developed to balance capital works with revenue through activity planning and also to ensure that the overall budget was achieved. |
Marine Cove |
|
 |
We've worked with Sedgemoor District Council for four years now having developed successful Round 1 and Round 2 applications for the restoration of this Edwardian seaside garden. Through this we developed the first Activity Plan for a green space to be approved by HLF under the new Parks for People programme. |
Measuring Success |
|
 |
Its never too early to start thinking about monitoring and evaluation as part of planning or delivering HLF funded restoration projects. Good planning will ensure that you have the right methods in place with the right resources at the right time. Having worked on the national evaluation of Parks for People for the past three years as well as helping many projects we are best placed to help you with this important area of work. |
