Residents are invited to Brunch on Brunel Green on Sunday 13th September to explore the ideas, stories and creativity that have emerged from a summer of community activities focused on the future of this green space.
Over the past few months, Frome Town Council has been working with Super Roots and Caravan Arts to learn more about how Brunel Green and the surrounding corridor of green spaces are used and what local people would like to see happen there in the future.
The summer programme has seen residents counting wildlife, collecting pollen like bees, spotting bugs and bats, swinging in hammocks, creating pop-up art, joining playdays and sharing conversations with the team on Brunel Green. Along the way, ideas, observations and comments have been gathered about the role the space plays in local life and its potential for the future.
Residents are now invited to Brunch on Brunel Green from 11am to 1pm to enjoy free coffee and pastries, explore an exhibition of ideas and creative responses inside the Caravan Arts caravan and add their own thoughts to the conversation. The event will also share what the council has learned through the engagement process and outline possible next steps.
Community Engagement Officer at Frome Town Council, Liz Stone, said, “Brunel Green has been full of activity this summer. We’ve met people of all ages, discovered how important these green spaces are to the community and heard some fantastic ideas about what could happen there in the future. Brunch on Brunel Green is an opportunity to celebrate everything we’ve learned so far, reflect on the ideas that have emerged and make sure even more voices are part of the conversation.”
Brunel Green is one of a number of green and open spaces that Frome Town Council took on following devolution from Somerset Council. The council is keen to ensure that any future improvements are informed by the people who use them most.
Everyone is welcome to attend the brunch. Whether you have been involved throughout the summer or are visiting for the first time, it’s a chance to discover the project, meet neighbours and help shape the future of the community space.
