On Saturday 5th July 2025, we held a Community feedback day for people to share their feedback and ideas on the proposed Community Hub in Southfield Recreation Ground. We’re excited to introduce draft plans for a new Community Hub, thoughtfully designed to bring people together and meet the needs of everyone.
The hub will be made up of three spaces:
• A welcoming Café, with its own entrance, run by a local café owner – the perfect spot to relax, connect, or grab a coffee whilst visiting the park.
• A Nursery, also with a separate entrance and a small outdoor garden, operated by a trusted local provider – offering a safe and inspiring space for our youngest community members.
• A flexible community space featuring a large, multi-purpose studio for events, classes, and activities; two spacious meeting rooms that double as changing rooms; and modern shower and toilet facilities for everyone using the hub and enjoying the park’s sports areas.
This vision is for the Hub to be a heart of community life – a place to learn, play, grow, and connect.
We had some great ideas with everyone supportive of the proposed Hub. However we’d like to give everyone the opportunity to share their views with us as they really matter to us!
Please complete the survey having taken a look at the two proposed concept diagrams and plan.
The survey should only take around 3 to 5 minutes to complete:
