Queen Elizabeth II Field Jubilee Green
At the pre-school picnic 2012 Cllr Robert Jones and Mayor Cllr
Charlotte Walker jointly unveiled the Queen Elizabeth II Field in
Trust plaque. You can just see it in the photo under all the
lovely bunting made by the children.
The Fields in Trust campaign was to protect 2,012 public spaces
for community use for ever by placing a convenants on the space
protecting it for the community. This campaign is also to
mark the Queens diamond jubilee and the Duke of Cambridge is a
patron.
Cllr Jones had identified the scheme and Bradley Stoke Town
Council had registered Jubilee Green as a possible site . The
early stages of the process involved the public voting for their
favourite space on the Fields in Trust website, a campaign that we
helped with and thank you to all of you who voted for it.
Jubilee Green successfully achieved the status and we invited
Cllr Jones and Mayor Cllr Walker to unveil the plaque and Cllr
Walker renamed the space 'Queen Elizabeth II Field Jubilee
Green'.
We are really please the green has achieved the status as the
land is owned by South Glos Council and is rented to Bradley Stoke
Town Council. The space is now protected under the convenants
and will continue to be used by the community for ever more.
