Victory Park, Bridge of Earn – Consultation

Following an onsite consultation in autumn 2021 at Victory Park in Bridge of Earn, we produced a concept masterplan for the site including the play facilities.  We then ran a further consultation from June to July 2022 asking for your views on the design.

We received 60 responses through the consultation hub with a small number of others providing feedback through other means.

The responses were very largely positive with a number ideas for us to consider as we continue to develop the project further in discussion with the Victory Park Development Group and Bridge of Earn AFC.

Concerns raised include flooding and drainage which have been in our thoughts throughout.  Respondents also had concerns about the management of long grass areas, and about litter and dog fouling.

Since the consultation finished we have held further meetings with the Victory Park Development Group and other stakeholders. Discussions are ongoing with Bridge of Earn AFC as the additional play equipment we plan to include will impact on an area they use for training off of the football pitch itself.

The concept masterplan proposes to raise the level of the ground where the play facilities are located but we have undertaken further flood investigation works very recently to see what else can be done. It is recognised that due to the flat, low-lying nature of the site and the underlying geology the Park will continue to flood after prolonged wet weather.  The masterplan will be available on this page once completed.
