• key sites to be developed for a mix of uses, such as a supermarket, shops, housing and jobs. • community facilities to be refocused at Filwood Community Centre. • to make the public space more attractive, safe and able to be maintained in the future. In November, Council Officers and resident representatives met with key transport officers and developers to test these ideas. Following this a draft “regeneration framework” document for the Broadway will be produced for comment. Following input from all views, a final document will be presented to councillors and the Knowle West Project Board for sign off in the New Year. Thank you for sharing all your views and ideas to help make a better Broadway. For more information: www.bristol.gov.uk/kwrf

Local voices Your Views: “What kind of events would you like to see in our area for young people?”
Declan (9
) & Terry
(48)
“We seem to be quite well provided for in this area already… The worst thing was losing the swimming pool. It would be good to have swings and slides in the local park as there’s only football pitches.”

Jo & Harry (b Toni (14)
“I’d like more clubs and more sport like netball. Also more art and musical activities and skateboarding.”
“We’d like to do more street art and music related things...We’d also like more sport in organised teams and sports days where you can try out different sports. Most of the organised stuff is for younger kids rather than teens.”

Family fun before winter set in... pete millward
T
hank you to all who helped out and came to the free Family Fun Day on the 25th September hosted by Elim Kidz. It was a great success with over 150 people coming and enjoying face painting, a barbecue, bouncy castle, hair braiding, football skills and, of course, the first annual Knowle West Kerby championship (won by Lewis Long). Thanks as well go to elim@bristol city church who generously paid for the event and the fire and police services both coming along and supporting it with sirens blaring out. The whole day was great fun with everyone mucking in to make sure the kids all had a fab time. The
free sweet raffle was one example, where people who came along to the event were buying bags of sweets and then giving them as prizes for the free raffle. Thank you to Mark the sweet man for his generosity too. Elim Kidz runs every Sunday afternoon 3.30-4.30pm in the main hall at Filwood Community Centre and is a chance for children (aged 4-12) to come along and have fun, playing games, winning prizes, listening to stories, making friends and learning life lessons.

The Park
An opportunity for the community priority needs. These will include education, training and employment towards the top of the list. Activities for young people, families and people with additional needs will remain on offer. It also recognises its responsibility to create some FUN. It may well be that there are new possibilities to explore. The challenge is to find out how to use the fantastic resource to give maximum local benefit. To do that we will need input from stakeholders and all sections of the community. This is especially true of the membership of the board which will be responsible for the charity. A process is now beginning to find additional members who will give us a broad balance of skills and perspective. Amongst these we must have local residents. Therefore, we would like to meet people who are interested in finding out more about what is involved in being a trustee and how to become one. The staff and current trustees would be delighted to welcome you to YOUR centre which will now be locally managed for local good.
on 0117 903 9770 or e-mail joy. pollard@bristol.gov.uk or please visit at any time and ask at reception: Monday to Friday (8am - 9pm), Saturday and Sunday (9am - 1pm).
An information meeting will be held at The Park on 8th December at 6pm for anyone living in the Knowle, Filwood and Windmill Hill Neighbourhood Partnership area who might be interested in becoming a trustee.

he Park Local Opportunity Centre is about to become independent of Bristol City Council. The expected transfer date is the 1st December 2011. From then on it will be run by a new charity which has been especially set up for the purpose. The centre will still be called “The Park” and offer an enormous variety of activities with something for everyone. For the first time in its 11 year history The Park will now have a secure future. The charity has been given a 35 year lease on the whole site. With this in mind, and wanting to give local people the best possible facilities, a refurbishment programme will begin immediately: work is already underway to transform the café into a high quality “diner” and cookery school. The aim is to give the community a local place to enjoy eating out. Plans are also in place to improve sport and performing arts education areas in the near future. The charity understands that they will need to raise considerable sums of money and have already been successful with several bids. The City Council have also given some funding to help start the works. The Park will continue to pitch its services towards local
