The Parish Council are pleased to announce that the main works for the pitch improvements at The Park have been completed.
The rugby and football pitches will now be drier throughout the seasons and have now been levelled to Sports England standard. Machinery has been removed from site and the grass will now need to re-establish. To allow this to happen, the fencing will remain in place until spring 2021. The site will be monitored during this time and reseeding and re-levelling will be carried out as required. Access around the fencing will remain, and the tennis courts are open.
Thank you for your patience whilst works were carried out, both to users of The Park and neighbouring residents. The Council hopes the improvements will benefit the community for years to come.
Please feel free to browse the gallery below of the work being undertaken.

You will all no doubt be very aware of the current situation relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and the steps we all need to take to reduce the spread of the virus, including social distancing, staying at home and washing your hands. As the situation is changing so rapidly, it is advised that you visit gov.uk and the NHS website for updates.
Frampton Cotterell Parish Council’s Response
The parish council have taken a series of precautions in a bid to further reduce risk across Frampton Cotterell:
Parish council play areas have been closed and padlocked where possible including The Park skate ramp & play area, Brockeridge park and Ridings Road. If you see people accessing the closed play areas, please report to the police on the Avon & Somerset Police Website.
The Brockeridge Centre on Woodend Road and the Pavilion at The Park have been closed until further notice. Anyone who has made a booking has been contacted.
Council meetings have been suspended until further notice.
As per government guidelines, upcoming parish council events have been cancelled. This includes VE day celebrations that were to be held in May.
Open spaces, including The Park Playing Fields, allotments and the Centenary Field remain open to allow you to get some fresh air. However, it is advised to stick to government guidelines for social distancing and restricting your outdoor exercise to once per day.
Youth clubs have been cancelled until further notice.
The parish council have set up an emergency resilience fund to support residents during the COVID-19 pandemic (see more below).
Emergency Resilience Funding
Frampton Cotterell Parish Council have set aside an emergency fund of up to £10,000 to help the community through the COVID-19 outbreak.

Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath: Covid-19 Community Support
A group of
District & Parish Councillors, residents, and voluntary workers have come
together to set up the Frampton Cotterell / Coalpit Heath COVID-19 Community
Support group.
The aim of
the group is to provide community-based support to residents in need in the
Parishes of Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath.
They may be able to support with: -Shopping -Phone conversations for company -General essential tasks.
The group already has in excess of 200 volunteers ready to support anyone in need.You may have already received a leaflet through your letter box with details of how to contact their local volunteer should you require support.
We have been given the information below from Avon & Somerset Police:
The police have stopped all
Beat Surgeries and external forums, we are still conducting hi-visibility
patrols, we have reduced the number of stations we have open and would
encourage members of the public to contact us by email when it isn’t urgent.
There is obviously a demand on us for clarity around certain things being
implemented and again would encourage people to refer to the Government
websites and NHS websites rather than us.
Social distancing and self-isolating is challenging for everyone, which is why it’s so important for us to look after our mental health as well as our physical health at this time.
Alternatively, if you would like to speak to someone to find out what support is available, call 0333 577 4666 available from 11am-7pm Monday to Friday, 12pm-6pm Saturday and Sunday or email communitysupport@southernbrooks.org.uk

Sadly the Remembrance Sunday Parade at Frampton Cotterell has had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 regulations. There will be an Act of Remembrance on 8th November 2020 at 11am for invited representatives at St Peters Church. This is a non-public event.
However, the Royal British Legion are asking everyone to get involved with Remembrance Sunday activities and have suggested the following (more information can be found on their website https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/ ):
• Hold a small Remembrance service in your garden. • Create a Remembrance space in your garden by planting plants that have a connection to Remembrance. • Use Zoom, Facebook or another online meeting resource to host an online Remembrance service or activity. • Set up a community Remembrance forum to discuss different residents’ Remembrance stories. • Create an online exhibition of Remembrance related photos from local residents that schools or others could use to discuss local Remembrance activities. • Do an online interview with a local veteran or someone currently serving to discuss what service and sacrifice means to them. You could send people the link and create an online audience. • Open an online book of Remembrance that family, friends and others can sign as a mark of Remembrance. • Write letters of Remembrance to veterans or serving personnel. • Use our Remembrance education activities to help children learn about Remembrance. • Create your own Remembrance art piece using our teaching resources – children and families could be asked to display something in their window like the rainbows for the NHS.
The Royal British Legion have also have created a virtual field of remembrance where people can virtually plant their Tribute from home, and explore other Tributes made to remember the fallen.
The Parish Council website is currently being updated to include making posts, images, and documents accessible. If you wish to access information in the meantime then please contact the Parish Clerk clerk@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk . We thank you for your patience.
