Protect Portishead Down from development, please complete the consultation.

In December 2024 the government released the new National Planning Policy Framework which confirmed a significantly higher mandatory housing requirement for North Somerset.

Welcome to our page.
Currently the results of the Merlin Park Pump Track consultation are being collated.
In October 2019 Portishead Wheels and Skatepark (WASP) produced a presentation of their plan for the long awaited facility.
Four locations were included in the survey (Merlin Park was not one of them).
The proposal plan is for, “A mixed use wheels park, accessible to skateboarders, scooters, BMX-ers and roller/inline skaters of all abilities.”
Crowd funding is now taking place for a skate park at the Lake Grounds, this plan no longer includes a pump track.
It seems a waste of both money and resources to build a separate pump track in Merlin Park when the agreed proposal was to have a complete facility close to toilets, parking and refreshments.

As the views of the resident’s local to Merlin Park have not been directly consulted when local schools and scout groups have, it feels we need to have our voices heard.

The best use of our energy at this time is to contact our local Councillors (their details are on the SAVE OUR FIELD flyer posted earlier this week).

There will be a local council meeting soon which can be watched on zoom but unfortunately attendees are limited to 25 pre-booked places with little notice.

Information will posted as we receive it.
Should you wish to pass on information or ideas please share on the page or via email

Hopefully you should have received this flyer through your door.

We are a group of Merlin Park residents who are committed to protecting our beautiful green space.
Our park is used for play, dog walking, picnics, sports and has been a place to meet socially during lock down.
All of this will be lost if the proposed plan to build a BMX pump track goes ahead, as this will take up half of our park.
This page is to keep residents informed and updated.
